# Setup Workflow > Set up the autonomous post-task workflow for a project. Injects the standard development pipeline into CLAUDE.md and installs all required skills and agents (docs-consolidator, ci-cd-pipeline, smoke-test, bug-bash-update, code-reviewer, debugger). Use at the start of a new project. Triggers on "setup workflow", "init workflow", "add workflow", or "set up project workflow". Use when this capability is needed. - Skill: `tomevault-io/setup-workflow-2` (Agent Skill, multi-file: 2 files) - Install (CLI): `npx skillmds@latest add tomevault-io/setup-workflow-2` - Raw SKILL.md: https://api.skillmd.com/api/skills/tomevault-io/setup-workflow-2/raw - Safety review: pending (external: skill-scanner PASS, skillspector CAUTION) - Works with: Claude Code, Claude.ai, OpenAI Codex - Category: DevOps & Infra - Author: tomevault-io (https://skillmd.com/u/tomevault-io) - Updated: 2026-09-17 - Page: https://skillmd.com/skills/tomevault-io/setup-workflow-2 --- # Setup Workflow Install the autonomous post-task development pipeline into a project's CLAUDE.md. All dependency skills and agents must be installed before running this skill. ## Dependencies This workflow requires 6 tools: | Dependency | Type | Live path | |-----------|------|-----------| | docs-consolidator | Skill | `~/.claude/skills/docs-consolidator/SKILL.md` | | ci-cd-pipeline | Skill | `~/.claude/skills/ci-cd-pipeline/SKILL.md` | | smoke-test | Skill | `~/.claude/skills/smoke-test/SKILL.md` | | bug-bash-update | Skill | `~/.claude/skills/bug-bash-update/SKILL.md` | | code-reviewer | Agent | `~/.claude/agents/code-reviewer.md` | | debugger | Agent | `~/.claude/agents/debugger.md` | ## Workflow ### Phase 1: Check dependencies For each dependency in the table above, check if the live file exists: 1. **Skills:** Check that `SKILL.md` exists at the live path. 2. **Agents:** Check that the agent `.md` file exists at the live path. 3. **ci-cd-pipeline references:** Also check this additional file: - `~/.claude/skills/ci-cd-pipeline/references/deploy-prerequisites.md` If all dependencies are present, proceed to Phase 2. If any are missing, report which ones and stop: ``` Missing dependencies: - [dependency name]: expected at [path] Install the missing skills/agents before running setup-workflow. ``` ### Phase 2: Detect CLAUDE.md Search for the project's CLAUDE.md file: 1. Check for `CLAUDE.md` in the project root 2. Check for `docs/CLAUDE.md` 3. Check if root `CLAUDE.md` is a symlink to `docs/CLAUDE.md` If found, note the path. If not found, note that a new one will be created. ### Phase 3: Read current state If CLAUDE.md exists: 1. Read it fully 2. Check if a `## Workflow` section already exists 3. Note the line range of the existing Workflow section (from `## Workflow` to the next `## ` heading or end of file) ### Phase 4: Inject workflow Read `references/workflow-template.md` — this is the canonical workflow content. **If a Workflow section exists:** Replace it (from `## Workflow` up to but not including the next `---` or `## ` heading) with the content of `workflow-template.md`. **If CLAUDE.md exists but has no Workflow section:** Insert the workflow content after the first heading block (title + any introductory text before the first `---`). **If a `## Quality Standards` section already exists:** Do not inject a duplicate. Only inject the Quality Standards section (from the template) when creating a new CLAUDE.md or when no such section exists. **If no CLAUDE.md exists:** Create a new `CLAUDE.md` in the project root with this structure: ```markdown # CLAUDE.md ## Project — Development Guide This file provides context for Claude Code sessions working on this project. --- [workflow-template.md content here] --- ## Commands [Auto-detect from pyproject.toml / package.json / Makefile / Cargo.toml and list the project's lint, format, typecheck, and test commands] --- ## Mistakes to Avoid *Claude: After any correction, add a rule here. Be specific.* ``` ### Phase 5: Verify 1. Read the updated CLAUDE.md 2. Confirm the Workflow section contains the full pipeline 3. Confirm no other sections were accidentally modified 4. Report a summary of all changes made ## Guidelines - Never modify any section of CLAUDE.md outside the Workflow section (unless creating a new file) - The workflow template in `references/workflow-template.md` is the single source of truth - If auto-detecting commands for a new CLAUDE.md, prefer reading the project's config files over guessing - If a dependency is missing, tell the user to install it rather than attempting to create it --- > Converted and distributed by [TomeVault](https://tomevault.io/claim/cryptofish7) — claim your Tome and manage your conversions.
