SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Pairflow bubbles can be mismanaged without strict state routing, leading to wasted time, lost work, and fragile handoffs. This skill enforces a state-aware lifecycle for creating, starting, intervening, reviewing, and closing bubbles, with safety checks and guardrails to keep operations deterministic.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • State-aware lifecycle orchestration for bubble workflows (create, start, kickoff, status, intervene, troubleshoot, review, approve, commit, merge, recover, and bootstrap evidence).
  • Workflow templates and routing guidelines that prevent common lifecycle mistakes and ensure consistent operations across local and remote bubbles.
  • Support for evidence bootstrap and audit-friendly handoffs via the evidence workflow.

Quick Start

Create a bubble using the provided workflows, then start it and monitor status to determine the next recommended action.

FAQPage Schema
What is state-aware workflow orchestration for bubble lifecycles?

State-aware bubble orchestration enforces strict state validation and guarded commands across a bubble's lifecycle, preventing mismanaged transitions and ensuring deterministic operations from creation to merge.

How do I create and start a bubble workflow with safe state transitions?

Use provided workflow templates to create a bubble, start it, and monitor its status to determine the next recommended action for safe state transitions throughout the lifecycle.

Can I recover lost work or troubleshoot a stuck bubble state machine?

Yes, the state machine supports specific troubleshoot and recover workflows designed to rescue lost work and safely resume operations from failed or stuck bubble states.

How does evidence bootstrap planning work for audit-friendly handoffs?

Evidence bootstrap planning captures structured artifacts during the bubble workflow, ensuring audit-friendly handoffs by validating state transitions and recording evidence before commit and merge.

Does Pairflow orchestration work with tmux and worktree environments?

Pairflow orchestration operates across local and remote bubbles, integrating with tmux and worktree setups to maintain consistent workflow routing and structured artifact handling.

Why do bubbles fail during commit and merge without gated transitions?

Without gated transitions, bubbles lack explicit state validation, leading to fragile handoffs and failed commits; enforcing strict state-aware routing prevents these common workflow mistakes.
