Workflows

Workflow documentation connects Day Shift’s planning artifacts and review surfaces into complete, verifiable journeys. Use Concepts first if specifications, tasks, implementation summaries, or reconciliation are unfamiliar.

For complete copies of the shipped workflow-level guides, use:

• Agent workflow guide
• Basic workflow prompt guide
• Structured workflow prompt guide
• Governed workflow prompt guide

To understand how Day Shift behaves across common situations and lifecycle stages, use:

• Your first project with Day Shift
• Existing repository with Day Shift
• Start here
• Plan from spec
• Implement from task
• Summarize and reconcile

For narrative journeys, start with From intake to implementation to move a registered specification through decomposition, readiness, selection, execution, and implementation evidence. Continue with Evidence review and reconciliation, then Resume, trace, archive, and release handoff. Begin with Getting Started if the workspace is not installed and healthy, or use the repository-local .day-shift/agents.md entry point for the workflow contract shipped with a workspace.

For advanced work that genuinely requires ordered phases, milestone reconciliation, persisted project review, and terminal closeout, use the Governed workflow with the Governed hierarchy reference. Governed is a gate-qualified technical path, not a Basic or ordinary Structured first-use step.
