dan-workflow

What problem does it solve?

Defines the shared protocols and conventions that ensure consistent, end-to-end DAN workflow orchestration across all agents and skills, enabling reliable planning, execution, and closed-loop delivery.

Core Features & Use Cases

• PLAN -> APPLY -> UNIFY -> SUMMARY loop with explicit PLAN.md and SUMMARY.md relationships, ensuring no orphan plans and no skipping of the final SUMMARY phase.
• Executor/Qualifier (E/Q) protocol with distinct roles and access: Executors generate artifacts with full tool access; Qualifiers read outputs for independent verification.
• Diagnostic Routing to classify root causes (Intent, Spec, Code) before applying fixes, reducing wasted effort and guiding remediation.
• State Protocol via dan-tools.cjs to read and write state centrally, including commands for state read/ get/ set/ patch and for parsing frontmatter.
• Two-Level Rule: Skills orchestrate; Agents execute; prevents nested agent spawning for debuggability and predictable costs.
• Fresh Context Rule: Each agent runs in a clean context with all needed inputs passed via file paths, and state persisted in STATE.md.

Quick Start

Provide a PLAN.md for a task and ensure a corresponding SUMMARY.md exists, then update STATE.md to close the loop.
