Agent skill

update-workflow-explorer

Audit and update workflow-explorer.html flowcharts to match the current codebase logic. Reads all command, skill, and agent source files, compares against the 4 data structures in the HTML file, reports drift, and applies updates. Use when workflow logic has changed and the explorer needs syncing.

Update Workflow Explorer

Audit workflow-explorer.html and sync its flowchart data with the actual command/skill/agent source files.

Step 0: Determine Scope

Check $ARGUMENTS for user-provided context about what changed.

  • Context given (e.g. "I just updated the implementation skill") → narrow to affected flowchart keys using the source mapping below
  • No context → full audit of all 24 flowchart keys
  • Ambiguous → ASK user to confirm scope before proceeding

Step 1: Read Source Files

For each in-scope flowchart key, read its source file(s) and extract the logical flow: steps, gates, decisions, loops, conditional branches, outputs.

Use parallel reads (Task tool with Explore agents or multiple Read calls) to gather sources efficiently.

Step 2: Read Current Flowchart Data

Read workflow-explorer.html and extract the 6 data structures for each in-scope key:

  1. phases[key] — metadata (steps, desc, scenarios, detailHTML)
  2. FLOWCHARTS[key] — nodes + connections
  3. FLOWCHART_DESCS[key] — summary, body, meta
  4. OVERVIEW_* — only if phases were added/removed/renamed
  5. SOURCE_MAP[key] — repo-relative path to source file (update when files are renamed)
  6. SKILL_NEXT_PHASE[key] — next-phase navigation for skill flowcharts

Step 3: Compare and Report

For each key, compare source logic against current flowchart data. Report per key:

  • MATCH — no drift detected
  • DRIFT — specific differences (added/removed steps, renamed concepts, changed gates, altered flow)
  • MISSING — flowchart key exists in sources but not in explorer (or vice versa)

Present findings to the user and STOP. Wait for confirmation of which changes to apply before proceeding.

Step 4: Apply Updates

For each confirmed change, update the following in workflow-explorer.html:

  • FLOWCHARTS[key].nodes and .connections
  • FLOWCHART_DESCS[key] summary, body, meta
  • phases[key] desc, steps count, detailHTML (if affected)
  • OVERVIEW_* (only if phases added/removed)

Data Conventions

Follow the conventions documented in the file header (lines 1-41):

Node shapes:

  • pill — start/end nodes (w:150, h:40)
  • diamond — decision/routing nodes (w:110-130, h:110-130)
  • stop — hard-cornered terminal nodes for STOP/BLOCK (w:150-180, h:40, rx:3)
  • rect (default) — action step nodes (w:180-200, h:44)

Connection types:

  • yes — green (positive branch from diamond)
  • no — red (negative branch from diamond)
  • transition — orange dashed (phase/context transitions)
  • backloop — gray dashed (retry/loop-back flows)

Color conventions (type-based, NOT phase-based — use CSS vars):

  • var(--action) sky blue — primary work steps (validate, extract, etc.)
  • var(--agent) cyan — agent invocation nodes (with optional skillLink to agent flowchart)
  • var(--text-dim) gray — utility/support steps (read existing, load format, etc.)
  • var(--ask) purple — user-interaction nodes
  • var(--routing) amber — decision diamonds (all diamonds use this)
  • var(--gate) red — STOP/BLOCK terminal nodes (hard-cornered stop shape), cache refresh
  • var(--discovery) green — discovery script execution
  • var(--skill) orange — skill invocation pills (with skillLink)
  • var(--next) blue — next-phase navigation nodes (rect, command color, same shape as agent nodes)
  • var(--accent) blue — entry points, migrations, git commits
  • var(--{phase}) phase color — END output artifacts only (keeps phase identity)

Node properties:

  • skillLink — on nodes that should navigate to a skill or agent flowchart on click
  • desc — tooltip text describing what the node does

Next-phase nodes (skill flowcharts only):

  • Every skill flowchart except skill-review has a next rect node at the end
  • Node: { id: 'next', label: 'Invoke /start-{phase}', desc: '...', w: 200, h: 44, color: 'var(--next)', bg: 'var(--next-bg)', skillLink: NEXT_PHASE_KEY }
  • Connection: { from: 'end', to: 'next', type: 'transition' }
  • All next nodes use consistent command blue (var(--next)) regardless of target phase
  • SKILL_NEXT_PHASE mapping must stay in sync

SOURCE_MAP maintenance:

  • When source files are renamed or new flowchart keys are added, update SOURCE_MAP accordingly
  • SOURCE_MAP maps flowchart keys to repo-relative file paths for the markdown viewer

Step 5: Validate and Verify

After applying updates:

  1. Check all connection from/to values reference valid node IDs in the same flowchart
  2. Check for orphaned nodes (not referenced by any connection as source or target, excluding start nodes)
  3. Remind user to open workflow-explorer.html in browser for visual verification
