Claude Code Workflow (CCW) transforms AI development from simple prompt chaining into a robust, context-first orchestration system. It solves execution uncertainty and error accumulation through structured planning, deterministic execution, and intelligent multi-model orchestration.
🎉 Version 5.0: Less is More
Core Improvements:
- ✅ Removed External Dependencies - Using standard ripgrep/find instead of MCP code-index for better stability
- ✅ Streamlined Workflows - Enhanced TDD workflow with conflict resolution mechanism
- ✅ Focused on Role Analysis - Simplified planning architecture centered on role documents
See CHANGELOG.md for full details.

CCW is built on a set of core principles that differentiate it from traditional AI development approaches:
- Context-First Architecture: Pre-defined context gathering eliminates execution uncertainty by ensuring agents have the correct information before implementation.
- JSON-First State Management: Task states live in
.task/IMPL-*.jsonfiles as the single source of truth, enabling programmatic orchestration without state drift. - Autonomous Multi-Phase Orchestration: Commands chain specialized sub-commands and agents to automate complex workflows with zero user intervention.
- Multi-Model Strategy: Leverages the unique strengths of different AI models (Gemini for analysis, Codex for implementation) for superior results.
- Hierarchical Memory System: A 4-layer documentation system provides context at the appropriate level of abstraction, preventing information overload.
- Specialized Role-Based Agents: A suite of agents (
@code-developer,@test-fix-agent, etc.) mirrors a real software team to handle diverse tasks.
For detailed installation instructions, please refer to the INSTALL.md guide.
Windows (PowerShell):
Invoke-Expression (Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/catlog22/Claude-Code-Workflow/main/install-remote.ps1" -UseBasicParsing).ContentLinux/macOS (Bash/Zsh):
bash <(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/catlog22/Claude-Code-Workflow/main/install-remote.sh)After installation, open Claude Code and check if the workflow commands are available by running:
/workflow:session:listIf the slash commands (e.g., /workflow:*) are recognized, the installation was successful.
CCW provides a rich set of commands for managing workflows, tasks, and interacting with AI tools. For a complete list and detailed descriptions of all available commands, please see the COMMAND_REFERENCE.md file.
For a detailed technical specification of every command, see the COMMAND_SPEC.md.
The best way to get started is to follow the 5-minute tutorial in the Getting Started Guide.
Here is a quick example of a common development workflow:
- Create a Plan (automatically starts a session):
/workflow:plan "Implement JWT-based user login and registration" - Execute the Plan:
/workflow:execute
- Check Status (optional):
/workflow:status
