🚀 Quick Start

Install CCW

npm install -g claude-code-workflow
ccw install -m Global

Codex Configuration (Required for .codex/skills/)

If you use Codex CLI with the .codex/skills/ workflow skills, add these required features to your ~/.codex/config.toml:

[features]
default_mode_request_user_input = true   # Enable request_user_input tool for interactive confirmations
multi_agent = true                       # Enable multi-agent coordination (spawn_agent, wait, etc.)
multi_agent_v2 = true                    # Enable v4 agent API (fork_context, task_name, send_message, assign_task, list_agents)
enable_fanout = true                     # Enable spawn_agents_on_csv for parallel wave execution

These features are required for workflow skills to function properly. Without them, interactive confirmation gates (request_user_input), subagent orchestration, and CSV-driven parallel execution will not work.

Workflow Skills vs Commands

CCW uses two types of invocations:

Type	Format	Examples
Skills	Trigger phrase (no slash)	workflow-lite-plan, brainstorm, workflow-plan
Commands	Slash command	/ccw, /workflow/session:start, /issue/new

Choose Your Workflow Skill

<table> <tr><th>Skill Trigger</th><th>Use Case</th></tr> <tr><td><code>workflow-lite-plan</code></td><td>Lightweight planning, single-module features (hands off to lite-execute)</td></tr> <tr><td><code>workflow-multi-cli-plan</code></td><td>Multi-CLI collaborative analysis</td></tr> <tr><td><code>workflow-plan</code></td><td>Full planning with session persistence</td></tr> <tr><td><code>workflow-tdd-plan</code></td><td>Test-driven development</td></tr> <tr><td><code>workflow-test-fix</code></td><td>Test generation and fix cycles</td></tr> <tr><td><code>brainstorm</code></td><td>Multi-role brainstorming analysis</td></tr> </table>

Workflow Examples

# Skill triggers (no slash - just describe what you want)
workflow-lite-plan "Add JWT authentication"
workflow-plan "Implement payment gateway integration"
workflow-execute

# Brainstorming
brainstorm "Design real-time collaboration system"

# Slash commands for session management
/workflow/session:start

🎭 Semantic CLI Invocation

Users can semantically specify CLI tools in prompts - the system automatically invokes the corresponding CLI.

Basic Invocation

User Prompt	System Action
"Use Gemini to analyze the auth module"	Auto-invoke gemini CLI for analysis
"Let Codex review this code"	Auto-invoke codex CLI for review
"Ask Qwen about performance optimization"	Auto-invoke qwen CLI for consultation

Multi-CLI Orchestration

Pattern	User Prompt Example
Collaborative	"Use Gemini and Codex to collaboratively analyze security vulnerabilities"
Parallel	"Have Gemini, Codex, and Qwen analyze the architecture in parallel"
Iterative	"Use Gemini to diagnose, then Codex to fix, iterate until resolved"
Pipeline	"Gemini designs the solution, Codex implements, Claude reviews"

🎼 Team Cadence Control (Beat Model)

The v2 team architecture introduces an event-driven beat model for efficient orchestration:

Beat Cycle (single beat)
======================================================================
  Event                   Coordinator              Workers
----------------------------------------------------------------------
  callback/resume --> +- handleCallback -+
                      |  mark completed   |
                      |  check pipeline   |
                      +- handleSpawnNext -+
                      |  find ready tasks |
                      |  spawn workers ---+--> [team-worker A] Phase 1-5
                      |  (parallel OK)  --+--> [team-worker B] Phase 1-5
                      +- STOP (idle) -----+         |
                                                     |
  callback <-----------------------------------------+
  (next beat)              SendMessage + TaskUpdate(completed)
======================================================================

Key Benefits:

• 🎯 Event-driven: Coordinator only wakes when needed (callback/resume)
• ⚡ Fast-advance: Simple successors spawn directly without coordinator roundtrip
• 🔄 Dynamic pipelines: Generated per-task from dependency graph
• 📊 Parallel execution: Independent tasks run concurrently

• Impeccable — Design audit methodology, OKLCH color system, anti-AI-slop detection patterns, editorial typography standards, motion/animation token architecture, and vanilla JS interaction patterns. The UI team skills (team-ui-polish, team-interactive-craft, team-motion-design, team-visual-a11y, team-uidesign, team-ux-improve) draw heavily from Impeccable's design knowledge.

• gstack — Systematic debugging methodology, security audit frameworks, and release pipeline patterns. The skills investigate (Iron Law debugging), security-audit (OWASP Top 10 + STRIDE), and ship (gated release pipeline) are inspired by gstack's workflow designs.
