workflow-bridge

Enter plan mode with deterministic continuation instructions.

This skill is invoked by processing skills (workflow-discussion-process, workflow-specification-process, etc.) when a pipeline phase concludes. It discovers the next phase and creates a plan mode handoff that survives context compaction.

⚠️ ZERO OUTPUT RULE: Do not narrate your processing. Produce no output until a step or reference file explicitly specifies display content. No "proceeding with...", no discovery summaries, no routing decisions, no transition text. Your first output must be content explicitly called for by the instructions.

Instructions

This skill receives context from the calling processing skill:

• Work unit: The work unit name (directory under .workflows/) = {work_unit}
• Completed phase: The phase that just completed = {completed_phase}

Step 1: Read Work Type and Run Discovery

Read work type from the manifest:

node .claude/skills/workflow-manifest/scripts/manifest.cjs get {work_unit} work_type

If work type is epic

→ Proceed to Step 2 (epic continuation runs its own enriched discovery).

Otherwise

Run the discovery script with the work unit:

node .claude/skills/workflow-bridge/scripts/discovery.cjs {work_unit}

The output contains: work_type, phases (per-phase status), and next_phase.

→ Proceed to Step 2.

Step 2: Route to Continuation Reference

Based on work type, load the appropriate continuation reference:

If work type is feature

Load feature-continuation.md and follow its instructions as written.

If work type is bugfix

Load bugfix-continuation.md and follow its instructions as written.

If work type is quick-fix

Load quickfix-continuation.md and follow its instructions as written.

If work type is cross-cutting

Load cross-cutting-continuation.md and follow its instructions as written.

If work type is epic

Load epic-continuation.md and follow its instructions as written.

Notes

Feature/bugfix continuation references:

1. Use discovery output to compute a single next_phase
2. Call EnterPlanMode tool, write plan file with instructions to invoke workflow-{next_phase}-entry with work_unit + work_type
3. Call ExitPlanMode tool for user approval

The user will then clear context, and the fresh session will invoke the appropriate phase entry skill with the work_unit and work_type provided, causing it to skip discovery and proceed directly to validation/processing.

Epic continuation is interactive — epic is phase-centric with multiple actionable items, so there is no single next phase. The reference displays state, presents a menu of choices, waits for user selection, then enters plan mode with that specific choice. The plan mode content is deterministic (same as feature/bugfix) once the user has chosen.
