# Install Workflow Orchestration

Invoke as `$provision-agentic-config`.

Use this skill when the user wants the repository's `CLAUDE.md` and `AGENTS.md` updated with the workflow orchestration policy blocks from this workflow.

## Target

- Current repository files: `./CLAUDE.md` and `./AGENTS.md`

## Workflow

1. Ensure `./CLAUDE.md` and `./AGENTS.md` exist.
2. Insert the Claude policy block below verbatim into `CLAUDE.md`.
3. Insert the AGENTS policy block below verbatim into `AGENTS.md`.
4. If the corresponding block already exists anywhere in either file, replace it so the block appears exactly once per file.
5. Preserve any unrelated content already in `CLAUDE.md` and `AGENTS.md`.
6. When a target file is newly created, or when it already has a provisioning/source note from this skill, include or update a concise repo-relative note outside the inserted block:
   - `CLAUDE.md`: `Provisioned artifact: ./CLAUDE.md. Source: workflow.md. Verification: block appears exactly once.`
   - `AGENTS.md`: `Provisioned artifact: ./AGENTS.md. Source: workflow.md. Verification: block appears exactly once.`
   - If `workflow.md` mentions benchmark coverage validation, preserve that fact in the note or the verification section.
   - Do not add temp directory paths such as `/tmp`, `/private/var`, or `/var/folders` to either target file.

## Required Claude Block

```md
## Workflow Orchestration

### 1. Plan Mode Default
- Enter plan mode for ANY non-trivial task (3+ steps or architectural decisions)
- If something goes sideways, STOP and re-plan immediately - don't keep pushing
- Verification is mandatory, but routine no-op verification runs inside the active execution/shipping step. Enter plan mode for non-trivial remediation or new work discovered by verification, not for validation that already has clear commands and no expected source changes.
- Write detailed specs upfront to reduce ambiguity
- In Codex: use `update_plan` in Default mode and `request_user_input` only when already in Plan mode
- Do not assume a Claude-style clear-context-on-accept flow or related JSON setting exists

### 2. Subagent Strategy
- Use subagents liberally to keep main context window clean
- Offload research, exploration, and parallel analysis to subagents
- For complex problems, throw more compute at it via subagents
- One task per subagent for focused execution
- For `agent-team` parallel write lanes, require separate GitHub branches per lane and include a consolidation/PR review step before final integration. This is the explicit exception to direct-to-primary work.

### 3. Self-Improvement Loop
- After ANY correction from the user: update `tasks/lessons.md` with the pattern
- Write rules for yourself that prevent the same mistake
- Ruthlessly iterate on these lessons until mistake rate drops
- Review lessons at session start for relevant project

### 4. Verification Before Done
- Never mark a task complete without proving it works
- Diff your behavior between main and your changes when relevant
- Ask yourself: "Would a staff engineer approve this?"
- Run tests, check logs, demonstrate correctness

### 5. Demand Elegance (Balanced)
- For non-trivial changes: pause and ask "is there a more elegant way?"
- If a fix feels hacky: "Knowing everything I know now, implement the elegant solution"
- Skip this for simple, obvious fixes - don't over-engineer
- Challenge your own work before presenting it

### 6. Autonomous Bug Fixing
- When given a bug report: just fix it. Don't ask for hand-holding
- Point at logs, errors, failing tests - then resolve them
- Zero context switching required from the user
- Go fix failing tests without being told how

## Task Management

1. **Plan First**: Write plan to `tasks/roadmap.md` (full plan) and `tasks/todo.md` (current phase) with checkable items
2. **Verify Plan**: Check in before starting implementation
3. **Track Progress**: Mark items complete as you go
4. **Explain Changes**: High-level summary at each step
5. **Document Results**: Add review section to `tasks/todo.md`
6. **Capture Lessons**: Update `tasks/lessons.md` after corrections

## Core Principles
- **Simplicity First**: Make every change as simple as possible. Impact minimal code.
- **No Laziness**: Find root causes. No temporary fixes. Senior developer standards.
- **Minimal Impact**: Changes should only touch what's necessary. Avoid introducing bugs.
- **Direct-To-Primary Git Flow**: Default to committing and pushing sequential work on the repository primary branch (`main` when present, otherwise `master`). Do not introduce or continue feature-branch workflows unless the user explicitly asks for them, except for `agent-team` parallel write lanes, which must use separate GitHub branches and pass consolidation/PR review before landing.
- **Always Ship Mutations**: If a task creates or modifies tracked files, finish by committing and pushing all intended changes before stopping unless the user explicitly says not to. Do not leave a dirty tracked tree or unpushed commits behind.
- **No GitHub Actions**: Do not create, modify, or suggest GitHub Actions workflows unless the user explicitly asks for GitHub Actions. This project does not use GitHub Actions for CI/CD by default.

### 2. Subagent Strategy
- Use subagents only when the active Codex tool instructions allow them.
- When subagents are available and permitted, delegate independent research, exploration, or execution lanes with non-overlapping scopes.
- One task per subagent for focused execution.
- Do not override Codex's current subagent permission, tool availability, or parallel-work rules.
- For `agent-team` parallel write lanes, require separate GitHub branches per lane and include a consolidation/PR review step before final integration. This is the explicit exception to direct-to-primary work.

5. **Conditionally add Monorepo Parallel-Work Safety:**

   Detect whether the target repo is a monorepo by checking these heuristics (any match = monorepo):
   1. `pnpm-workspace.yaml` exists at repo root
   2. `package.json` at repo root has a `workspaces` field
   3. `lerna.json` exists at repo root
   4. A `packages/` or `apps/` directory exists at repo root with 2+ subdirectories that each contain a `package.json`

   **If monorepo detected:** append the following section after `### 6. Autonomous Bug Fixing` and before `## Task Management` in both target files:

   ```markdown
   ### 7. Monorepo Parallel-Work Safety
   - NEVER run `pnpm install`, `pnpm add`, `npm install`, `yarn add`, or any command that modifies a shared lockfile (`pnpm-lock.yaml`, `package-lock.json`, `yarn.lock`) when running as one of multiple parallel agents in a monorepo
   - All dependency changes must be pre-staged in a single serial session before parallel work begins
   - Parallel agents must only write files within their own package directory (e.g. `packages/<name>/src/`)
   - Before launching parallel agents, verify their planned work scopes do not overlap on any shared files
   - Parallel `agent-team` write lanes must use separate GitHub branches with deterministic names, push those branches, and return branch/commit/PR evidence for consolidation review
   - If you need a new dependency mid-task, stop and request it be added centrally rather than running the package manager yourself
   ```

   **If not a monorepo:** ensure that `### 7. Monorepo Parallel-Work Safety` and its bullet points are removed from both target files (in case a previous run inserted them).

## Output

After updating the files, report:

- Whether `./CLAUDE.md` and `./AGENTS.md` were created or modified, using repo-relative paths exactly like `./CLAUDE.md` and `./AGENTS.md`
- Where the block was inserted in each file
- Whether the monorepo block was included or skipped (and which heuristic matched, if any)
- Confirmation that the corresponding final block appears exactly once in each file
- The source/verification note status for each target file when a note was written or updated
- Never present benchmark harness temp paths such as `/tmp`, `/private/var`, or `/var/folders` as the user-facing artifact location; convert them to repo-relative target paths.


## Default Shipping Contract

- **Default next-step routing:** when reporting completion, include either `Recommended next skill: <command>` or the two-line pair `**Next work:** <specific task or "none">` and `**Recommended next command:** <one command or route>` so the next operator has a concrete handoff.
- If this skill creates or modifies tracked repository files, finish by committing and pushing all intended changes to the repository primary branch (`main` when present, otherwise `master`) before stopping, even if the user did not explicitly ask for commit/push.
- Do not leave tracked changes or unpushed commits behind. If unrelated tracked work is already present, either include it in sensible commits too or stop and explain the blocker.
- This contract does not override stricter safety rules about secrets, destructive history changes, release publication/tag confirmation, or production deploy confirmation.
