GitHub Showcase: Cool Workflow Wiki

Cool Workflow is an auditable workflow control-plane for AI coding agents. It turns a repo question or operator job into durable .cw/ state, delegated workers, verifier-gated commits, and saved reports.

Start here:

Page Use it for
Quickstart Run the tamper demo, a real architecture review, and a resumable run.
Workflow Apps Choose between the shipped apps and inspect app contracts.
Architecture Understand the runtime boundary, state files, verifier gate, and MCP surface.
Trust And Audit Learn what telemetry, audit verification, and the trust limits prove.
Recovery And Restore Resume, export, inspect, import, verify, and rerun durable runs.
Commands or API Find the stable CLI shapes and MCP entry points.
MCP And Manifests Understand generated vendor manifests and MCP parity.
Operations Verify, restore, inspect, regenerate manifests, and run release checks.
FAQ Clarify trust limits, agent setup, reports, and failure behavior.

What CW Does

CW provides mechanisms for:

  • reviewing any repository — a local folder (-dir) or a remote URL (--link, git host or archive),
  • showing a calm, Claude-Code-style live view as the agent works (a rolling window of ● ToolName(arg) lines with result summaries + a thinking line, a saved per-worker transcript.md, and a compact findings summary), while stdout stays byte-exact,
  • planning workflow apps,
  • dispatching isolated workers,
  • delegating each worker to an external agent,
  • accepting and verifying result.md envelopes,
  • recording audit and telemetry ledgers,
  • committing verified state checkpoints,
  • generating reports from the durable run record.

It does not embed a model SDK and does not hold model credentials. Your external agent does the model work; CW keeps the run book.

Good First Reads

For users:

  1. Run npx cool-workflow demo tamper.
  2. Read Quickstart.
  3. Pick an app from Workflow Apps.
  4. Run cw quickstart architecture-review against a repo with your agent.

For maintainers:

  1. Read Architecture.
  2. Read MCP And Manifests.
  3. Run npm run golden-path from plugins/cool-workflow.
  4. Run npm run release:check before any release work.

For reviewers:

  1. Read Trust And Audit.
  2. Read Recovery And Restore.
  3. Use cw telemetry verify, cw audit verify, and cw run verify-import.

Project Status

This Wiki is a draft for GitHub Wiki publication. It summarizes the current repository evidence rather than introducing new public claims. The root README remains the official first-run page until these drafts are applied.
