SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Hypo-Workflow Cycles provide a structured container for long-running work, enabling independent milestone sequences, per-cycle state, progress tracking, and comprehensive archival with summaries.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Create, list, view, close cycles and manage archives, prompts, patches, and reports within a cohesive lifecycle.
  • Maintain per-cycle state files (.pipeline/state.yaml), progress summaries (PROGRESS.md), prompts, reports, and persistent knowledge across cycles.
  • Support for deferred items and knowledge snapshots in archives to preserve auditable histories.

Quick Start

Create a new Cycle named 'Initial Development' using /hw:cycle new and view its summary with /hw:cycle view C1.

FAQPage Schema
How do I manage long-running project workflows with milestone tracking?

You can manage long-running project workflows by using cycles as structured containers for independent milestone sequences, per-cycle state tracking, and progress summaries. This enforces end-to-end workflow control across creation, progression, closure, and archival.

What is the best way to archive project state and retain knowledge after closing a cycle?

The best way to archive project state is through automatic compact snapshots that preserve per-cycle persistence and knowledge retention. Archives maintain progress summaries, deferred items, and prompts to ensure a comprehensive, auditable history.

How do I create a new cycle and view its progress summary?

To create a new cycle, use the designated creation command to initialize the lifecycle container. You can then view its progress summary and state files to track milestones, prompts, and reports throughout the workflow.

Does the cycle workflow tool support validation and auditing for milestones?

Yes, the cycle workflow tool supports validation and auditing for milestones. It enforces defined commands and data structures to ensure reliable state tracking and generate auditable reports during progression and closure.

When do I need to use deferred items in a project lifecycle?

You need to use deferred items in a project lifecycle when tasks must be postponed but still tracked within the archival history. This preserves auditable records and ensures incomplete work is retained across cycles.
