# 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`
