Workflow — Development Workflows

Update the DEVELOPMENT WORKFLOWS table in README.md by researching 11 repos in parallel. Launch agents, merge results, present changes, update table if approved.


The 11 Repos

| # | Repo | Owner | |---|------|-------| | 1 | github/spec-kit | GitHub (John Lam / Den Delimarsky) | | 2 | Fission-AI/OpenSpec | Fission-AI (@0xTab) | | 3 | humanlayer/humanlayer | HumanLayer (Dex Horthy) | | 4 | affaan-m/everything-claude-code | Affaan Mustafa | | 5 | gsd-build/get-shit-done | Lex Christopherson | | 6 | obra/superpowers | Jesse Vincent | | 7 | garrytan/gstack | Garry Tan (YC CEO) | | 8 | bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD | BMAD Code Org | | 9 | EveryInc/compound-engineering-plugin | Every.to | | 10 | Yeachan-Heo/oh-my-claudecode | Yeachan Heo (@bellman_ych) | | 11 | mattpocock/skills | Matt Pocock |


Table Format

The README table has these columns:

| Name | ★ | Workflow | <img src="!/tags/a.svg" height="14"> | <img src="!/tags/c.svg" height="14"> | <img src="!/tags/s.svg" height="14"> |
  • Name: [Short Name](github-url) — use project name, not owner/repo
  • ★: Star count rounded to k (e.g., 98k, 10k, 4.1k). Under 1000 show exact number
  • Workflow: The canonical end-to-end pipeline as a flat left-to-right sequence of shields.io badges joined by →. Each step is the actual command/skill/agent name from the repo (e.g. /speckit.plan, bmad-create-prd, subagent-driven-development). Flat only — no parentheticals, no English qualifiers ("loop", "per story", "parallel waves"), no + connectors. If a step has internal sub-steps that matter, list them as siblings in the main chain and color them yellow (fff3b0) to mark them as sub-loops; top-level steps stay light blue (ddf4ff). Trace the README's "how to use" / "workflow" section for the canonical happy path: idea → spec/plan → tasks → implement → review → ship.
  • Agent/Command/Skill counts: Just the number (e.g., 25, 0, 108+)

Workflow badge encoding (shields.io)

Each step renders as an HTML <img> tag with align="middle" (not markdown image syntax) so the arrow stays vertically centered with the badges. Two background colors:

| Color | Hex | When to use | |---|---|---| | Light blue | ddf4ff | Top-level workflow steps | | Soft yellow | fff3b0 | Sub-loop steps (repeat per task/story/until verified inside a parent step) |

Template:

<img src="https://img.shields.io/badge/<ENCODED>-ddf4ff" alt="<plain-label>" align="middle">    <!-- top-level -->
<img src="https://img.shields.io/badge/<ENCODED>-fff3b0" alt="<plain-label>" align="middle">    <!-- sub-loop -->

The align="middle" puts the badge's vertical center at the text baseline, so the → arrow ends up centered on each badge instead of sitting at badge-bottom. Without it the arrow visibly drops below the badges in GitHub's rendering.

After the table closes, always include this legend as a blockquote on its own line:

> *Note: yellow tags are sub-loops — steps that repeat inside a parent step (e.g. per task, per story, or until a verify condition passes).*

Encoding rules for the <ENCODED> portion of the URL:

| Input character | Encoded as | |---|---| | / (leading slash) | %2F | | - (literal dash) | -- | | _ (literal underscore) | __ | | (space) | _ | | + | %2B | | . and : | unchanged |

Examples:

  • /grill-me → %2Fgrill--me
  • /speckit.plan → %2Fspeckit.plan
  • /opsx:propose → %2Fopsx:propose
  • bmad-create-epics-and-stories → bmad--create--epics--and--stories

Join steps with the literal arrow → (space-arrow-space) between the closing > of one img tag and the opening < of the next.

Do not wrap sub-steps in parentheses or annotate them with English ("loop", "per story", "+", "parallel waves"). If a step has an internal loop, just list the inner step names as siblings in the flat chain.

Sort order: Sorted by stars descending (highest first).


Phase 0: Read Current State

Read these files:

  1. README.md — the ## ⚙️ DEVELOPMENT WORKFLOWS table (note current stars, workflow pipelines, counts)
  2. changelog/development-workflows/changelog.md — previous changelog entries

Phase 1: Launch 2 Research Agents

Immediately spawn both agents in a single message (parallel). Each uses subagent_type: "development-workflows-research-agent".

Agent 1 (4 repos)

Research these 4 Claude Code workflow repositories:

Repo 1: github/spec-kit (https://github.com/github/spec-kit) Repo 2: affaan-m/everything-claude-code (https://github.com/affaan-m/everything-claude-code) Repo 3: obra/superpowers (https://github.com/obra/superpowers) Repo 4: mattpocock/skills (https://github.com/mattpocock/skills)

For EACH repo, return:

  1. Stars — use GitHub API https://api.github.com/repos/{owner}/{repo}, read stargazers_count. Round to k.
  2. Agent count — count .md files in agents/ or .claude/agents/. For obra, also count implicit sub-agents dispatched by skills. For mattpocock, count is 0 (skills-only repo).
  3. Skill count — count folders in skills/ or .claude/skills/. For mattpocock, count folders in skills/ at repo root.
  4. Command count — count .md files in commands/ or .claude/commands/. For spec-kit, count files in templates/commands/. For mattpocock, count is 0 (skills serve as slash commands).
  5. Workflow — the canonical end-to-end pipeline as a flat left-to-right sequence of step names joined by →. Trace the README's "how to use" / "workflow" section for the happy path: idea → spec/plan → tasks → implement → review → ship. Use the actual command/skill/agent names from the repo. Flat only — no parentheses, no English qualifiers ("loop", "per story", "parallel waves"), no + connectors. If a step has internal sub-steps, list them as siblings in the main chain. Mark each step as either top (top-level) or sub (sub-loop, repeats inside a parent step) so the orchestrator can color it. Output as plain text — the orchestrator will encode each step into a shields.io HTML img badge.
  6. Notable changes — any significant recent changes? New agents/skills/commands, major versions?

Return structured report per repo:

REPO: github/spec-kit
STARS: <number>k
AGENTS: <count>
COMMANDS: <count>
SKILLS: <count>
WORKFLOW: <step1>(top) → <step2>(top) → <step3>(sub) → ... → <stepN>(top)
CHANGES: <changes or "No significant changes">

Agent 2 (7 repos)

Research these 7 Claude Code workflow repositories:

Repo 1: Fission-AI/OpenSpec (https://github.com/Fission-AI/OpenSpec) Repo 2: humanlayer/humanlayer (https://github.com/humanlayer/humanlayer) Repo 3: gsd-build/get-shit-done (https://github.com/gsd-build/get-shit-done) Repo 4: garrytan/gstack (https://github.com/garrytan/gstack) Repo 5: bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD (https://github.com/bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD) Repo 6: EveryInc/compound-engineering-plugin (https://github.com/EveryInc/compound-engineering-plugin) Repo 7: Yeachan-Heo/oh-my-claudecode (https://github.com/Yeachan-Heo/oh-my-claudecode)

For EACH repo, return:

  1. Stars — use GitHub API https://api.github.com/repos/{owner}/{repo}, read stargazers_count. Round to k.
  2. Agent count — count .md files in agents/ or .claude/agents/. For BMAD, count agent-persona skills in src/bmm-skills/. For compound-engineering-plugin, count .md files across all subdirectories of plugins/compound-engineering/agents/. For oh-my-claudecode, count .md files in agents/ at repo root.
  3. Skill count — count folders in skills/ or .claude/skills/. For gstack, skills are root-level directories with SKILL.md. For BMAD, count all skills in src/bmm-skills/ and src/core-skills/. For compound-engineering-plugin, count folders in plugins/compound-engineering/skills/ plus plugins/coding-tutor/skills/. For oh-my-claudecode, count folders in skills/ at repo root.
  4. Command count — count .md files in commands/ or .claude/commands/. For GSD, count in commands/gsd/. For OpenSpec, count /opsx:* commands. For BMAD, count is 0 (commands generated at install time). For compound-engineering-plugin, count .md files in .claude/commands/ plus plugins/coding-tutor/commands/. For oh-my-claudecode, count is 0 (skills serve as slash commands).
  5. Workflow — the canonical end-to-end pipeline as a flat left-to-right sequence of step names joined by →. Trace the README's "how to use" / "workflow" section for the happy path: idea → spec/plan → tasks → implement → review → ship. Use the actual command/skill/agent names from the repo. Flat only — no parentheses, no English qualifiers ("loop", "per story", "parallel waves"), no + connectors. If a step has internal sub-steps, list them as siblings in the main chain. Mark each step as either top (top-level) or sub (sub-loop, repeats inside a parent step) so the orchestrator can color it. Output as plain text — the orchestrator will encode each step into a shields.io HTML img badge.
  6. Notable changes — any significant recent changes? New agents/skills/commands, major versions?

Return structured report per repo:

REPO: Fission-AI/OpenSpec
STARS: <number>k
AGENTS: <count>
COMMANDS: <count>
SKILLS: <count>
WORKFLOW: <step1>(top) → <step2>(top) → <step3>(sub) → ... → <stepN>(top)
CHANGES: <changes or "No significant changes">

Phase 2: Compare & Report

Wait for both agents. Then compare findings against the current table and present:

Development Workflows — Update Report
══════════════════════════════════════

Changes Found:
  <repo>: ★ <old>k → <new>k | agents <old>→<new> | commands <old>→<new> | skills <old>→<new>
  <repo>: workflow updated: <old workflow> → <new workflow>

4  | Sort        | Move <repo> (stars changed)           | NEW/RECURRING

Compare with previous changelog entries and mark items as NEW, RECURRING, or RESOLVED.


Phase 2.5: Append to Changelog

MANDATORY — always execute before presenting to user.

Read changelog/development-workflows/changelog.md, then append a new entry. If the file doesn't exist, create it with a Status Legend then the first entry.

---

## [<YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM AM/PM PKT>] Development Workflows Update

| # | Priority | Type | Action | Status |
|---|----------|------|--------|--------|
| 1 | HIGH/MED/LOW | <type> | <action> | <status> |

Get time via TZ=Asia/Karachi date "+%Y-%m-%d %I:%M %p PKT". Status must be one of:

  • COMPLETE (reason) | INVALID (reason) | ON HOLD (reason)

Always append, never overwrite.


Phase 2.6: Update Last Updated Badge

MANDATORY — execute after Phase 2.5.

Update the badge on line 4 of README.md. Get time via TZ=Asia/Karachi date "+%b %d, %Y %-I:%M %p PKT", URL-encode it, replace the date in the badge. Do NOT log this as an action item.


Phase 3: Execute

Ask user: (1) Execute all | (2) Execute specific | (3) Skip

When executing, edit the ## ⚙️ DEVELOPMENT WORKFLOWS table in README.md:

  • Update stars, counts, and the Workflow column per row
  • Maintain sort order: stars descending (highest first)
  • Match existing format exactly (icons, badge URLs, link style)
  • For the Workflow column, encode each plain-text step th
