Operating Loop Workflow

/operating-loop-workflow

One job: Make the operating-loop multi-agent Workflow available to this install, then run it.

YOU MUST EXECUTE THIS WORKFLOW. Do not just describe it.

The seven-move operating loop (shape → plan → pre-flight → implement → capture) ships as a Claude Code Workflow-tool script at .claude/workflows/operating-loop.js. Claude Code plugins do not auto-load .claude/workflows/ from an install — workflows resolve only from the project cwd or ~/.claude/workflows/. So this skill installs the bundled script into the user workflows directory, then invokes it.

Steps — run in order

1. Install the workflow (idempotent — only copies when the bundled script is newer or missing):

   mkdir -p "$HOME/.claude/workflows"
   src="${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/.claude/workflows/operating-loop.js"
   dst="$HOME/.claude/workflows/operating-loop.js"
   if [ -f "$src" ] && { [ ! -f "$dst" ] || [ "$src" -nt "$dst" ]; }; then
     cp "$src" "$dst" && echo "installed operating-loop workflow -> $dst"
   else
     echo "operating-loop workflow already current (or bundle not found)"
   fi
   

2. Run it via the Workflow tool, passing the user's capability/intent as args:
   • Full loop: Workflow({ name: "operating-loop", args: "<the capability/intent to drive through the loop>" })
   • Plan-only (the safe Shape → Plan → Pre-flight half, no implementation): Workflow({ name: "operating-loop", args: { mode: "plan", intent: "<intent>" } })
3. Report the returned intent, plan, pre-flight verdicts, and closeout to the user.

Notes

• After step 1 succeeds once, the workflow is invocable directly via the Workflow tool (Workflow({name:'operating-loop'})) in future sessions — this skill is the installer + first-run entry point.
• The script is a leaf Workflow (it does not nest other workflows). Source of truth: .claude/workflows/operating-loop.js.
• Re-running step 1 is safe and cheap; it copies only when the bundled script is newer.
