## Smart Documentation Generation - Automatically detects existing documentation and skips Phase 2/3 when docs exist - Jump directly to Phase 4 (SKILL.md generation) for fast SKILL index updates - Phase 4 always executes to ensure SKILL.md stays synchronized - Explicit --regenerate flag for forced full documentation refresh ## Parameter Naming Correction - Reverted --update back to --regenerate for accurate semantic meaning - "regenerate" = delete and recreate (destructive operation) - "update" was misleading (implied incremental update, not implemented) ## Execution Paths - Full Path: All 4 phases (no docs OR --regenerate specified) - Skip Path: Phase 1 → Phase 4 (docs exist AND no --regenerate) - Added comprehensive TodoWrite patterns and flow diagrams for both paths ## Phase 1 Enhancement - Step 4: Determine Execution Path - decision logic with SKIP_DOCS_GENERATION flag - Checks existing documentation count - Evaluates --regenerate flag presence - Displays appropriate skip or regeneration messages ## Benefits - 5-10x faster SKILL updates when documentation already exists - Always fresh SKILL.md index reflecting current documentation structure - Explicit control via --regenerate flag for full refresh ## Modified Files - .claude/commands/memory/skill-memory.md (553 lines, +59 lines for skip logic) - CHANGELOG.md (added v5.2.2 release notes) 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
🚀 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 5.2: Memory Commands Enhancement
Core Improvements:
- ✅ Batch Processing - Single Level 1 task handles all module trees (67% fewer tasks)
- ✅ Dual Execution Modes - Agent Mode and CLI Mode (--cli-execute) support
- ✅ Pre-computed Analysis - Unified analysis eliminates redundant CLI calls (67% reduction)
- ✅ Performance Boost - 67% fewer file reads, 33% fewer total tasks
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.
🛠️ Command Reference
CCW provides a rich set of commands for managing workflows, tasks, and interacting with AI tools. For a complete list and detailed descriptions of all available commands, please see the COMMAND_REFERENCE.md file.
For a detailed technical specification of every command, see the COMMAND_SPEC.md.
🚀 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:
- 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
