FAQPage Schema
How do I transition between phases in a GitHub Elements workflow?

Phase transitions close your current thread and open the next one. Command DEV→TEST, TEST→REVIEW, or other phase changes to move forward. The Skill validates prerequisites, spawns the phase-specific manager, posts completion comments, and updates your progress tracking across activeContext.md and progress.md.

What happens when I complete a phase and move to the next one?

Completing a phase closes the active thread, validates phase-gate prerequisites for the next phase, creates and opens a new thread, links both threads together, and updates your memory files. This ensures continuity and tracks your workflow progress.

Can I demote to an earlier phase or finalize a workflow phase?

Yes. Phase transitions handle promotions, demotions, completions, and finalization. The Skill validates that prerequisites are met for your target phase, whether moving forward, backward, or concluding the workflow.

What prerequisites must be met before transitioning to the next phase?

Phase-gate validation checks that your current phase meets all prerequisites before allowing transition. Requirements depend on your workflow configuration and the target phase you're moving into.

How are threads linked when moving between phases?

When transitioning phases, the Skill closes the current thread, creates the next one, and establishes links between them. This maintains context and audit trails across your GitHub Elements workflow phases.
