using-workflow

A guide for starting work in a project that has Claude Workflow installed, including its commands, agent roles, and project settings.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to set up the workflow, plan and execute features with agent teams, connect Jira or Confluence, conduct research, resume interrupted work, inspect status, manage settings, and record progress.
Why use it?
It gives the agent the project-specific workflow rules before it begins planning or changing code.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

using-workflow scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

claude-workflow

Multi-agent workflow orchestration for Claude Code. Provides branch-per-task feature development with automated QA, codebase guardian enforcement, and crash recovery.

Commands

Command Description
/setup-workflow First-time project setup — config, infrastructure, agent discovery, docs, CLAUDE.md
/connect-atlassian Connect Jira + Confluence — guided API token setup, 72 tools for tickets, sprints, IKTs
/agent-team Execute a pre-planned feature — reads task files from /new-plan, spawns agents with thin prompts
/new-plan Deep technical planning and task decomposition before implementation
/deep-research Conversational deep research with phased investigation and multi-layered validation
/resume Crash recovery — resume from last checkpoint
/status Quick progress summary of active feature
/settings Scan and validate agent definitions, audit performance, manage permissions
/track Emit tracking events to JSONL progress log

Agents

  • team-leader: Orchestrator agent that decomposes features into tasks, delegates to sub-agents, and manages branch lifecycle. Runs the main workflow loop.
  • qa-reviewer: Quality gate agent that reviews code changes, runs tests, checks for regressions, and enforces project standards before merge.
  • codebase-guardian: Structural integrity agent that monitors for unauthorized changes to protected files, architecture violations, and dependency issues.

Workflow Modes

  • strict: Full QA pipeline — every task reviewed by qa-reviewer and codebase-guardian before merge. Best for production codebases.
  • standard: Balanced mode — QA reviews on feature completion, Guardian checks on protected files only. Default mode.
  • fast: Minimal checks — skip QA reviews, Guardian runs only on final merge. Best for prototyping and spikes.

Configuration

Project configuration lives in .claude/workflow.json. Run /workflow-setup to configure interactively.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
