Workflow: Improve Workflow

Refine workflow documents based on friction encountered during use.

Who should do this work

  • Main/Haiku: Gather friction data
  • Opus subagent: Prioritize improvements
  • Varies by complexity: Apply improvements
  • Main: Verify and reflect

When to use

  • After using workflow and encountering friction
  • Instructions need refinement
  • Add missing steps or improve ownership
  • Periodic maintenance

Inputs required

  • workflow_path - Path to workflow file
  • friction_notes (optional) - Specific friction points

Task document

Create: .claude/plugin-data/workflow-architect/tasks/improve-workflow-<workflow-name>-<date>.md

Output

  • Task doc records changes
  • Improved workflow verified and ready
  • Optional follow-up audit offered

Subtasks

1. Gather friction data

Subagent: Main or haiku.

Do:

  • Check .claude/plugin-data/workflow-architect/tasks/ for mentions
  • Ask user for pain points
  • List in task doc

Focus areas:

  • Step clarity (unclear what to do)
  • Missing steps
  • Ownership ambiguity (who does what)
  • Missing required reads
  • Inadequate verification

2. Prioritize improvements

Subagent: opus.

Do:

  • Review friction notes
  • Filter one-time issues
  • Prioritize by frequency/impact
  • Write to task doc

Priority:

  • High: Missing critical steps, ambiguous ownership, missing verification
  • Medium: Unclear instructions, missing context reads
  • Low: Style, wording

3. Apply improvements

Subagent: Varies by complexity. Read: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/layout/workflow-structure.md

Do per improvement:

  • Read workflow file
  • Make targeted edit
  • Document in task doc

Common improvements:

  • Add missing steps
  • Clarify ownership (main vs subagent)
  • Add missing "Must read" refs
  • Add verification steps
  • Improve step descriptions

4. Verify and reflect

Subagent: Main.

Do:

  • Spot-check modified file
  • Verify subtasks have clear ownership
  • Verify required sections present
  • Report summary

Offer: "Run quick audit on improved workflow?"

5. Record decisions (if applicable)

Subagent: Main.

When to record:

  • Non-standard structures
  • Delegation pattern changes
  • Exceptions to best practices

How:

  • Template: references/tool-patterns/templates/decision-record-template.md
  • Write: <plugin_path>/.decisions/YYYY-MM-DD-<topic>.md
