[MANDATORY] You MUST use TaskCreate to break ALL work into small tasks BEFORE starting. NEVER skip task creation.

Quick Summary

Goal: Activate a workflow by ID, creating tracking tasks and announcing the workflow sequence.

Workflow:

• Match -- Validate workflow ID against catalog

• Create -- Set up TaskCreate items for all workflow steps

• Announce -- Tell user the detected intent and workflow sequence

Key Rules:

• AI MUST always detect nearest workflow and ask user via AskUserQuestion to confirm activation

• Present "Activate [Workflow] (Recommended)" vs "Execute directly without workflow"

• Create workflow-level tasks BEFORE any implementation tasks

Be skeptical. Apply critical thinking, sequential thinking. Every claim needs traced proof, confidence percentages (Idea should be more than 80%).

Workflow Start

Activate a workflow from the injected catalog and initialize step tracking via TaskCreate.

When to Use

• Starting a detected workflow from the injected catalog

• Initializing workflow state for step-by-step execution

• Switching from one active workflow to another

NOT for: Manual step execution (follow TaskCreate items), workflow design (use planning ), or workflow catalog management.

Quick Reference

Workflow

• Read the workflow catalog injected by the hook

• Validate the workflow ID against available entries

• Create workflow state via the workflow-step-tracker hook

• Create TaskCreate items for ALL sequence steps immediately

• Begin first step, marking it in_progress

Related

• Command: /workflow-start <workflowId>

• Hook: workflow-step-tracker.cjs

• Hook: workflow-router.cjs

Activation Rules

• Call ONLY after reading the workflow catalog injected by the hook

• Use the exact workflow ID shown in the catalog (e.g., feature , bugfix , investigation )

• ALWAYS ask the user via AskUserQuestion to confirm activation before proceeding

• If called while another workflow is active, it will auto-switch (end current, start new)

After Activation

Your FIRST action after activation MUST be calling TaskCreate once for EACH workflow step:

TaskCreate: subject="[Workflow] /step-command - Step description", description="Workflow step", activeForm="Executing step"

Create ALL tasks first, then mark the first task in_progress via TaskUpdate . Do NOT skip this.

IMPORTANT Task Planning Notes (MUST FOLLOW)

• Always plan and break work into many small todo tasks

• Always add a final review todo task to verify work quality and identify fixes/enhancements
