Workflow Usage Guidelines​

Selecting the Right Workflow​

  1. Identify your goal - What are you trying to accomplish?
  2. Find the category - Which of the 10 categories fits best?
  3. Choose the workflow - Select the most specific workflow for your task
  4. Customize - Adapt the workflow to your specific needs

Chaining Workflows​

Many tasks require multiple workflows in sequence:

Example: New Feature Development

  1. project-lifecycle/project-configure - Configure feature flags
  2. collaboration/code-review-request - Get design review
  3. quality-assurance/test-driven-development - Implement with TDD
  4. quality-assurance/code-quality-gate - Validate quality
  5. collaboration/pull-request-creation - Create PR
  6. devops/continuous-integration - Ensure CI passes
  7. documentation/changelog-update - Update changelog

QA Integration Patterns​

Validation Requirements:

  • Required - Workflow cannot proceed without validation pass
  • Recommended - Validation should be performed but can be skipped with justification
  • Optional - Validation available but not necessary for workflow completion

Review Requirements:

  • Required - Manual review gate before completion
  • Recommended - Review improves quality but not blocking
  • Optional - Review available if desired
  • None - No review needed for this workflow

Extending This Catalog​

Adding New Workflows​

  1. Identify gap - Find common task not covered
  2. Define workflow - Use the template structure
  3. Integrate QA - Determine validation and review requirements
  4. Test workflow - Execute and refine
  5. Document - Add to appropriate category
