Workflow Best Practices

Enforce a compliant software workflow by applying a gated MCP sequence that mandates steps from issue tracking through production verification, preventing non-compliant development transitions. It uses per-project templates and pre-flight checks to restrict progress until specific criteria are met.

A gated development workflow is a strict sequence of stages—start issue, write code, run tests, commit, deploy, verify production, close issue—with mandatory checks blocking transitions. You need it for enterprise or regulated environments requiring full auditability.

Start the compliant workflow by calling workflow_start_issue with an issue_number, then follow the mandated sequence: run tests, commit, deploy, verify production, and close the issue. Pre-flight checks and templates guide each transition.

Yes, you can resume an auditable workflow after a restart because the system generates a persistent activity log and progress visualization that track each completed gate. This allows the workflow to recover and continue from the last verified state.

No, this workflow compliance tool does not require specific dependencies or components to function. It operates independently to enforce the gated MCP workflow, utilizing built-in pre-flight checks and per-project templates for compliance management.

The best way to maintain an audit trail for code changes and deployment is to enforce a strict, gated workflow that logs every activity from issue start to production verification. This ensures all transitions are auditable and compliant with enterprise regulations.
