SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you manage the repository’s phased, file-backed research workflow by ensuring you follow the correct phase skeleton and do not advance based on incoherent or missing workflow state.

Core Features & Use Cases

Phase routing for agentic tasks: Classifies requests into the correct workflow phase or skeleton-maintenance action (including blocked vs no-op guidance).
Workflow coherence checks: Uses the repository’s bundled state checker logic to validate that docs/current_status.md matches workflow-skeleton expectations.
Template validation for required headings and structure: Uses the bundled validator to confirm workflow template structural rules haven’t drifted.

Quick Start

Ask the AI to route your request through the repository workflow by saying: "Use workflow-manager to determine the correct phase for my task, check whether the current workflow skeleton state is coherent, and validate any workflow templates that might be affected."

FAQPage Schema

How do I validate research workflow coherence and phase transitions in a file-backed repository?▼

Research workflow coherence is validated by checking the current status pointer and state machine rules to ensure phase transitions align with the repository skeleton. This prevents advancing phases when workflow state is incoherent or missing.

What is the best way to route tasks to the correct research phase and determine blocked or no-op status?▼

Phase routing classifies requests against the canonical workflow state machine to determine the correct research phase or skeleton-maintenance action. It provides explicit blocked versus no-op guidance based on the current workflow state.

How do I check if my workflow template structure has drifted from required headings?▼

Template validation uses a bundled validator script to confirm structural rules and required headings haven't drifted. It checks the workflow skeleton to ensure template compliance after structural or heading changes occur.

When do I need to validate workflow state and phase ownership for research artifacts?▼

Workflow state validation is needed for phase-transition decisions, blocked determinations, and current-status checks. It references the phase ownership matrix to ensure artifact naming and research phases follow evidence-first governance rules.

Can I use workflow state checker scripts to verify that current_status.md matches the workflow skeleton?▼

Yes, bundled state checker scripts validate that docs/current_status.md matches workflow-skeleton expectations. The checker confirms the current status pointer aligns with the canonical workflow state machine and phase ownership matrix.

Why does my research workflow phase advancement fail due to incoherent workflow state?▼

Workflow phase advancement fails when the state checker detects incoherent or missing workflow state. The validation logic blocks transitions to ensure repository rules, template compliance, and evidence-first governance are fully satisfied.
