spec-workflow-init — Development Workflow Generator

Generate a project-specific

issue-to-pr-workflow.md

through interactive dialogue. The workflow serves as a playbook for spec-implement and development agents.

Language Rules

Auto-detect input language → output in the same language
Japanese input → Japanese output, use
```
references/workflow-template.ja.md
```
English input → English output, use
```
references/workflow-template.md
```
Explicit override takes priority (e.g., "in English", "日本語で")

Sub-agent template selection (when generating agent definitions):

English →
```
references/agents/claude/workflow-*.md
```

Japanese →

references/agents/claude/workflow-*.ja.md

Codex templates: English →

references/agents/codex/workflow-*.toml

, Japanese →

references/agents/codex/workflow-*.ja.toml

Execution Flow

Step 1: Initial Checks

Verify Git repository:
bash
```
git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree 2>/dev/null
```
If not a Git repo, warn and skip branch detection. Continue with other checks.
Check current directory:
bash
```
pwd
ls -la
```
Detect existing workflow file:
bash
```
find . -name "issue-to-pr-workflow.md" -maxdepth 3 2>/dev/null
```
If found and
```
--force
```
is not set, show the existing file path and proceed to Step 7 (idempotency handling).

Step 2: Environment Detection

Run the following checks to auto-detect the project environment:

Package manager:

bash

ls pnpm-lock.yaml yarn.lock package-lock.json bun.lockb 2>/dev/null

Container usage:

bash

ls docker-compose.yml docker-compose.yaml Dockerfile 2>/dev/null

CI/CD service:

bash

ls -d .github/workflows .gitlab-ci.yml .circleci 2>/dev/null

Branch information:

bash

git branch -r 2>/dev/null | head -10

Language, framework, and scripts:

bash

cat package.json 2>/dev/null | grep -A 50 '"scripts"'
cat package.json 2>/dev/null | grep -A 30 '"dependencies"'
ls go.mod requirements.txt pyproject.toml 2>/dev/null

Database:

bash

ls prisma/schema.prisma 2>/dev/null
grep -l "postgres\|mysql\|mongo" docker-compose.yml 2>/dev/null

Lint tools:

bash

ls .eslintrc* biome.json 2>/dev/null

Coding rules file:

bash

find . -name "coding-rules.md" -maxdepth 3 2>/dev/null

Present the detection results to the user in a summary table:

Detected project environment:
  Language/FW:       {detected}
  Package Manager:   {detected}
  Container:         {detected}
  Test:              {detected}
  CI/CD:             {detected}
  Branch:            {detected}
  Database:          {detected}
  Lint:              {detected}
  Coding Rules:      {detected or "Not found"}

Ask the user to confirm or correct the detection results before proceeding.

Step 3: Interactive Dialogue

Gather workflow configuration through AskUserQuestion rounds.

Round 1: Output Path

question: "Where to save issue-to-pr-workflow.md?" / "issue-to-pr-workflow.md の出力先は？"
header: "Output"
options:
  - "docs/issue-to-pr-workflow.md (Recommended)" / "docs ディレクトリ直下（推奨）"
  - "docs/development/issue-to-pr-workflow.md" / "docs/development 配下"

Round 2: Branch Strategy

Q1:
question: "Base branch (PR target)?" / "ベースブランチ（PRターゲット）は？"
header: "Branch"
options:
  - "develop (Recommended)" / "feature → develop → main（Git Flow）"
  - "main" / "feature → main（GitHub Flow）"
  - "trunk" / "Short-lived branches → main（Trunk-based）"

Q2:
question: "Feature branch naming convention?" / "featureブランチの命名規則は？"
header: "Naming"
options:
  - "feature/{issue}-{slug} (Recommended)" / "e.g. feature/42-add-auth"
  - "{issue}-{slug}" / "e.g. 42-add-auth"
  - "{type}/{issue}-{slug}" / "e.g. fix/42-login-bug, feat/43-dashboard"

Round 3: Quality Gates

question: "Quality gates before PR creation?" / "PR作成前の品質ゲートは？"
header: "Gates"
multiSelect: true
options:
  - "All tests must pass (Recommended)" / "テスト全パス（推奨）"
  - "Lint and type check must pass" / "Lint / Typecheckパス"
  - "Coverage threshold" / "カバレッジ基準"

Round 4: Development Style

question: "Select your development style" / "開発スタイルを選択してください"
header: "Style"
options:
  - "Implementation First (Recommended)" / "実装 → レビュー → テスト → テストレビュー → 品質ゲート → PR"
  - "TDD" / "テスト(RED) → 実装(GREEN) → リファクタ → レビュー → 品質ゲート → PR"
  - "BDD" / "E2Eシナリオ → テスト(RED) → 実装(GREEN) → レビュー → 品質ゲート → PR"

Round 5: E2E Test Level

question: "E2E test scope?" / "E2Eテストの範囲は？"
header: "E2E"
options:
  - "API level only (Recommended)" / "supertest等でリクエスト→レスポンスを検証"
  - "API + Browser E2E" / "上記 + Playwrightでクリティカルパスを検証"

Round 6: Parallel Execution

question: "Use parallel execution for implementation and tests?" / "実装とテストの並列実行を使いますか？"
header: "Parallel"
options:
  - "Sequential (Recommended)" / "メインエージェントが全工程を順番に実行（安全・シンプル）"
  - "Parallel" / "実装とテストコード生成を並行して実行（高速・要エージェント分離）"

Round 7: Agent Targets (only if Parallel selected)

Ask which agent definitions to generate. Do NOT decide targets based on

.claude/

.codex/

directory detection.

question: "Which agent definitions should be generated?" / "どのエージェント定義を生成しますか？"
header: "Agents"
options:
  - "Both Claude + Codex (Recommended)" / "Claude と Codex の両方を生成"
  - "Claude only" / "Claude のみ生成"
  - "Codex only" / "Codex のみ生成"
  - "Skip generation" / "生成しない"

Additional Questions (project-type specific):

Docker project: "Run all commands inside Docker?" / "Docker内で全コマンドを実行しますか？"
Next.js project: "Include build check in workflow?" / "ビルド確認をワークフローに含めますか？"

Step 4: Workflow Generation

Select template based on Language Rules:

English →
```
references/workflow-template.md
```
Japanese →
```
references/workflow-template.ja.md
```

Read the template and replace placeholders with collected values:

{package_manager}

{container_tool}

{database}

{test_framework}

, etc.

```
{pr_target}
```
,
```
{branch_naming}
```
,
```
{dev_style}
```

{test_command}

{lint_command}

{typecheck_command}

{build_command}

{e2e_test_command}

{browser_e2e_command}

{coverage_command}

```
{timestamp}
```
→ current date/time

Select development style sections:
- Implementation First → keep
```
{if_implementation_first}...{end_implementation_first}
```
  , remove TDD/BDD blocks
- TDD → keep
```
{if_tdd}...{end_tdd}
```
  , remove others
- BDD → keep
```
{if_bdd}...{end_bdd}
```
  , remove others
Handle conditional sections:
- Browser E2E not selected → remove
```
{if_browser_e2e}...{end_browser_e2e}
```
  blocks
- Parallel not selected → remove
```
{if_parallel}...{end_parallel}
```
  blocks
- If agent targets include Claude → keep
```
{if_claude_agents}...{end_claude_agents}
```
  , otherwise remove
- If agent targets include Codex → keep
```
{if_codex_agents}...{end_codex_agents}
```
  , otherwise remove
- If agent generation is skipped → keep
```
{if_no_agent_files}...{end_no_agent_files}
```
  , otherwise remove
- No typecheck command → remove
```
{if_typecheck}...{end_typecheck}
```
- No build command → remove
```
{if_build}...{end_build}
```
Clean up remaining placeholders and conditional markers
Create output directory if needed:
bash
```
mkdir -p {output_directory}
```
Write the file to the specified output path

Step 5: Idempotency Handling

If an existing workflow file is detected (from Step 1 or during generation):

Without
--force
: Show a warning with the existing file path

question: "Existing workflow found at {path}. Overwrite?" / "既存のワークフローが {path} に見つかりました。上書きしますか？"
header: "Overwrite"
options:
  - "Yes, overwrite" / "はい、上書きする"
  - "No, cancel" / "いいえ、キャンセル"

With
--force
: Overwrite without confirmation

Step 6: Sub-Agent Generation

Skip this step if the user did not select parallel execution or selected "Skip generation" in Round 7.

Step 6a: Claude Code agents (when Round 7 selection includes Claude):

Select template language based on Language Rules:

English →
```
references/agents/claude/workflow-*.md
```

Japanese →

references/agents/claude/workflow-*.ja.md

Read each template and replace placeholders:

```
{coding_rules_path}
```
→ detected path (e.g.,
```
docs/coding-rules.md
```
)

{workflow_path}

→ output path from Step 3 (e.g.,

docs/issue-to-pr-workflow.md

)

{test_command}

{lint_command}

{typecheck_command}

{build_command}

{e2e_test_command}

{browser_e2e_command}

{coverage_command}

```
{dev_style}
```
→ selected development style
```
{branch_naming}
```
→ selected naming convention

Create directory and write files:

bash

mkdir -p .claude/agents

```
.claude/agents/workflow-implementer.md
```
```
.claude/agents/workflow-reviewer.md
```
```
.claude/agents/workflow-tester.md
```

If files already exist, ask for overwrite confirmation (same as Step 5)

Step 6b: Codex agents (when Round 7 selection includes Codex):

Select template language based on Language Rules:

English →
```
references/agents/codex/workflow-*.toml
```

Japanese →

references/agents/codex/workflow-*.ja.toml

Read each TOML template and replace placeholders in
```
developer_instructions
```
:
- Same variables as Claude Code agents

Create directory and write files:

bash

mkdir -p .codex/agents

```
.codex/agents/workflow-implementer.toml
```
```
.codex/agents/workflow-reviewer.toml
```
```
.codex/agents/workflow-tester.toml
```

Update

.codex/config.toml

Create file if it doesn't exist

Add or update agent sections in config.toml:

toml

[agents.workflow-implementer]
config_file = "agents/workflow-implementer.toml"

[agents.workflow-reviewer]
config_file = "agents/workflow-reviewer.toml"

[agents.workflow-tester]
config_file = "agents/workflow-tester.toml"

Add
```
[features] multi_agent = true
```
if not present

If files already exist, ask for overwrite confirmation

Step 7: AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md Reference Update

Check for convention files:
bash
```
ls AGENTS.md CLAUDE.md 2>/dev/null
```
If CLAUDE.md is a symlink to AGENTS.md, update only AGENTS.md:
bash
```
readlink CLAUDE.md 2>/dev/null
```

If at least one file exists, ask for confirmation:

question: "Add workflow reference to AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md?" / "AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md にワークフローの参照を追記しますか？"
header: "Update"
options:
  - "Yes, add reference (Recommended)" / "はい、参照を追記する（推奨）"
  - "No, skip" / "いいえ、スキップ"

If approved, append the following section (adapt language to match output):

English:

markdown

## Development Workflow

Follow the development workflow for Issue → Implementation → PR:
- [{workflow_path}]({workflow_path}) — Development workflow generated by spec-workflow-init

Japanese:

markdown

## Development Workflow

開発フロー（Issue → 実装 → PR）は以下のファイルに従ってください:
- [{workflow_path}]({workflow_path}) — spec-workflow-init で生成された開発ワークフロー

If neither file exists, output a warning:

"Warning: Neither AGENTS.md nor CLAUDE.md found. Skipping reference update."
/ "警告: AGENTS.md も CLAUDE.md も見つかりません。参照追記をスキップします。"

Options

Option	Description
`--force`	Overwrite existing files without confirmation

Error Handling

Error	Detection	Response
Not a Git repository	`git rev-parse` fails	Warn and skip branch detection. Continue with other checks
No package.json	`ls package.json` fails	Skip package manager / test / lint detection. Gather via dialogue
Write permission error	`mkdir -p` or file write fails	Show error and re-ask output path via AskUserQuestion
Network error (git branch -r)	Command timeout or non-zero exit	Skip remote branches. Use local branches only. Gather via dialogue
Existing file conflict	File found at output path	Without `--force` : show warning and ask to overwrite. With `--force` : overwrite

Usage Examples

# Generate workflow with dialogue
"Generate development workflow"
「開発ワークフローを生成」

# Generate with force overwrite
"Create workflow --force"
「ワークフロー生成 --force」

# After spec-rules-init
"Now create the development workflow"
「次に開発フローを作って」

Post-Completion Actions

After generating the workflow:

question: "Workflow generated. What's next?" / "ワークフローを生成しました。次のアクションは？"
options:
  - "Run spec-implement" / "spec-implement を実行する"
    description: "Start implementing with the generated workflow" / "生成したワークフローで実装を開始"
  - "Review and customize" / "レビューしてカスタマイズ"
    description: "Open the generated file and make adjustments" / "生成されたファイルを開いて調整"
  - "Done for now" / "完了"
    description: "Finish without further action" / "追加アクションなしで完了"
