Maintaining Workflows

Adding a New Workflow

Create a new workflow file following the naming convention
Include name and description fields at the top of the workflow
Run pnpm workflow:docs to update this README
Commit both the workflow file and updated README

Best Practices

Always include a description: Add a description field after the name field
Use consistent prefixes: Follow the established prefix conventions
Label-triggered workflows: For PR automation, use the pr- prefix
Document triggers: Make trigger conditions clear in the workflow description
Keep docs in sync: Run pnpm workflow:docs after any workflow changes
