Removed all URL-related parameters and functionality from UI design commands as they are no longer supported. All commands now only accept local files. Changes: - style-extract.md: Removed --urls parameter and all URL mode logic - layout-extract.md: Removed --urls parameter and DOM extraction via URLs - COMMAND_SPEC.md: Deleted capture and explore-layers commands, updated syntax Affected commands: - /workflow:ui-design:style-extract: Only accepts --images and --prompt - /workflow:ui-design:layout-extract: Only accepts --images and --prompt - Removed: /workflow:ui-design:capture (command deleted) - Removed: /workflow:ui-design:explore-layers (command deleted) All UI workflow commands now require manual input of local resources (images, code files, HTML, CSS, JS) instead of fetching from URLs.
🚀 Claude Code Workflow (CCW)
Claude Code Workflow (CCW) transforms AI development from simple prompt chaining into a robust, context-first orchestration system. It solves execution uncertainty and error accumulation through structured planning, deterministic execution, and intelligent multi-model orchestration.
🎉 Version 5.8.1: Lite-Plan Workflow & CLI Tools Enhancement
Core Improvements:
- ✨ Lite-Plan Workflow (
/workflow:lite-plan) - Lightweight interactive planning with intelligent automation
- Three-Dimensional Multi-Select Confirmation: Task approval + Execution method + Code review tool
- Smart Code Exploration: Auto-detects when codebase context is needed (use
-eflag to force)- Parallel Task Execution: Identifies independent tasks for concurrent execution
- Flexible Execution: Choose between Agent (@code-developer) or CLI (Gemini/Qwen/Codex)
- Optional Post-Review: Built-in code quality analysis with your choice of AI tool
- ✨ CLI Tools Optimization - Simplified command syntax with auto-model-selection
- Removed
-mparameter requirement for Gemini, Qwen, and Codex (auto-selects best model)- Clearer command structure and improved documentation
- 🔄 Execution Workflow Enhancement - Streamlined phases with lazy loading strategy
- 🎨 CLI Explore Agent - Improved visibility with yellow color scheme
See CHANGELOG.md for full details.

✨ Core Concepts
CCW is built on a set of core principles that differentiate it from traditional AI development approaches:
- Context-First Architecture: Pre-defined context gathering eliminates execution uncertainty by ensuring agents have the correct information before implementation.
- JSON-First State Management: Task states live in
.task/IMPL-*.jsonfiles as the single source of truth, enabling programmatic orchestration without state drift. - Autonomous Multi-Phase Orchestration: Commands chain specialized sub-commands and agents to automate complex workflows with zero user intervention.
- Multi-Model Strategy: Leverages the unique strengths of different AI models (Gemini for analysis, Codex for implementation) for superior results.
- Hierarchical Memory System: A 4-layer documentation system provides context at the appropriate level of abstraction, preventing information overload.
- Specialized Role-Based Agents: A suite of agents (
@code-developer,@test-fix-agent, etc.) mirrors a real software team to handle diverse tasks.
⚙️ Installation
For detailed installation instructions, please refer to the INSTALL.md guide.
🚀 Quick One-Line Installation
Windows (PowerShell):
Invoke-Expression (Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/catlog22/Claude-Code-Workflow/main/install-remote.ps1" -UseBasicParsing).Content
Linux/macOS (Bash/Zsh):
bash <(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/catlog22/Claude-Code-Workflow/main/install-remote.sh)
✅ Verify Installation
After installation, open Claude Code and check if the workflow commands are available by running:
/workflow:session:list
If the slash commands (e.g., /workflow:*) are recognized, the installation was successful.

Example Usage:
User: "CCW-help"
→ Interactive menu with command search, recommendations, and documentation
User: "What's next after /workflow:plan?"
→ Recommends /workflow:execute, /workflow:action-plan-verify, with workflow patterns
User: "CCW-issue"
→ Guided template generation for bugs, features, or questions
🚀 Getting Started
The best way to get started is to follow the 5-minute tutorial in the Getting Started Guide.
Here is a quick example of a common development workflow:
Option 1: Lite-Plan Workflow (⚡ Recommended for Quick Tasks)
Lightweight interactive workflow with in-memory planning and immediate execution:
# Basic usage with auto-detection
/workflow:lite-plan "Add JWT authentication to user login"
# Force code exploration
/workflow:lite-plan -e "Refactor logging module for better performance"
# Basic usage
/workflow:lite-plan "Add unit tests for auth service"
Interactive Flow:
- Phase 1: Automatic task analysis and smart code exploration (if needed)
- Phase 2: Answer clarification questions (if any)
- Phase 3: Review generated plan with task breakdown
- Phase 4: Three-dimensional confirmation:
- ✅ Confirm/Modify/Cancel task
- 🔧 Choose execution: Agent / Provide Plan / CLI (Gemini/Qwen/Codex)
- 🔍 Optional code review: No / Claude / Gemini / Qwen / Codex
- Phase 5: Watch real-time execution with live task tracking
Option 2: Full Workflow (Comprehensive Planning)
Traditional multi-phase workflow for complex projects:
- Create a Plan (automatically starts a session):
/workflow:plan "Implement JWT-based user login and registration" - Execute the Plan:
/workflow:execute - Check Status (optional):
/workflow:status
