If yes, update `pipeline`, grill template, or `scripts/ci/check_workflow_parity.sh`. - Which DSL2/template/parity rules should become persistent guidance? - Were hooks too noisy or too weak? - Did state accurately reflect work and verification? - Did docs or memory-bank drift from code? ## Update Targets - `.cursor/skills/` - `.cursor/rules/` - `.cursor/hooks/` - `.cursor/agents/` - `workflow-state.yaml` - `memory-bank/session-notes.md` and `memory-bank/todos.md` ## Output Record process changes and update routing docs if future agents should behave differently. --- > Source: [GWMcElfresh/GoodWorkflows](https://github.com/GWMcElfresh/GoodWorkflows) — distributed by [TomeVault](https://tomevault.io).
