FAQ
What's the difference between /work:work-flow-feature and the main workflow?
/work:work-flow-feature is a shortcut that automatically chains all the steps of the main workflow (explore, plan, code, commit, PR).
When to use /ops:ops-hotfix vs /work:work-flow-bugfix?
- hotfix: Critical bug in production, immediate need
- bugfix: Normal bug, can wait for the next release
How do I know if I need an audit?
Use /qa:qa-audit:
- Before a major release
- Before an external audit
- After significant changes
- Regularly (monthly)
Can I combine multiple workflows?
Yes! For example:
# Feature with security audit
/work:work-flow-feature "Auth" → /qa:qa-security → /work:work-pr
