Auto-generate project workflow config from existing PRD and CLAUDE.md. Zero interactive questions — all answers extracted from project data that already exists after /scaffold.

When to use

After /scaffold creates a project, before /plan. Creates docs/workflow.md so /plan and /build can work.

MCP Tools (use if available)

• project_info(name) — get project details, detected stack
• kb_search(query) — search for dev principles, manifest, stack templates
• codegraph_query(query) — check project dependencies in code graph

If MCP tools are not available, fall back to reading local files only.

Steps

1. Detect project root:

   • If $ARGUMENTS is provided, look for a project with that name in the current directory or projects_dir from ~/.solo-factory/defaults.yaml.
   • Otherwise use current working directory.
   • Verify the directory exists and has CLAUDE.md.
   • If not found, ask via AskUserQuestion.

2. Check if already initialized:

   • If docs/workflow.md exists, warn and ask whether to regenerate.

3. Read project data (parallel — all reads at once):

   • CLAUDE.md — tech stack, architecture, commands, Do/Don't
   • docs/prd.md — problem, users, solution, features, metrics, pricing
   • package.json or pyproject.toml — exact dependency versions
   • Makefile — available commands
   • Linter configs (.eslintrc*, eslint.config.*, .swiftlint.yml, ruff.toml, detekt.yml)

4. Read ecosystem sources (optional — enhances quality):

   • Detect stack name from CLAUDE.md (look for "Stack:" or the stack name in tech section).
   • If MCP kb_search available: search for stack template and dev-principles.
   • Otherwise: look for stacks/<stack>.yaml and dev-principles.md in .solo/ or plugin templates directory (if accessible).
   • If neither available: derive all info from CLAUDE.md + package manifest (sufficient).

5. Detect languages from package manifest:

   • package.json → TypeScript
   • pyproject.toml → Python
   • *.xcodeproj or Package.swift → Swift
   • build.gradle.kts → Kotlin

6. Create docs directory if needed:

   mkdir -p docs
   

7. Generate docs/workflow.md: Based on dev-principles (from MCP/KB or built-in defaults):

   # Workflow — {ProjectName}
   
   ## TDD Policy
   **Moderate** — Tests encouraged but not blocking. Write tests for:
   - Business logic and validation
   - API route handlers
   - Complex algorithms
   Tests optional for: UI components, one-off scripts, prototypes.
   
   ## Test Framework
   {from package manifest devDeps: vitest/jest/pytest/xctest}
   
   ## Commit Strategy
   **Conventional Commits**
   Format: `<type>(<scope>): <description>`
   Types: feat, fix, refactor, test, docs, chore, perf, style
   
   ## Verification Checkpoints
   **After each phase completion:**
   1. Run tests — all pass
   2. Run linter — no errors
   3. Run build — successful (if applicable)
   4. Manual smoke test
   
   ## Branch Strategy
   - `main` — production-ready
   - `feat/<track-id>` — feature branches
   - `fix/<description>` — hotfixes
   

8. Update CLAUDE.md — add workflow reference to Key Documents section if not present.

9. Show summary and suggest next step:

   Setup complete for {ProjectName}!
   
   Created:
     docs/workflow.md — TDD moderate, conventional commits
   
   Next: /plan "Your first feature"
   

Common Issues

CLAUDE.md not found

Cause: Project not scaffolded or running from wrong directory. Fix: Run /scaffold first, or ensure you're in the project root with CLAUDE.md.

workflow.md already exists

Cause: Previously set up. Fix: Skill warns and asks whether to regenerate. Existing file is preserved unless you confirm overwrite.

Wrong test framework detected

Cause: Multiple test frameworks in devDependencies. Fix: Skill picks the first found. Edit docs/workflow.md manually to specify the correct framework.
