## Overview
This directory contains operational workflow documentation for AI agents. These documents define **how** to perform common operations safely and consistently.
**Before using these workflows:** Always read [AGENT_GUARDRAILS.md](../AGENT_GUARDRAILS.md) first.

| [TESTING_VALIDATION.md](./TESTING_VALIDATION.md) | Validation and verification protocols | Before committing changes |
| [COMMIT_WORKFLOW.md](./COMMIT_WORKFLOW.md) | Commit timing and message format | After completing to-dos |
| [GIT_PUSH_PROCEDURES.md](./GIT_PUSH_PROCEDURES.md) | Push safety and verification | Before pushing to remote |
| [BRANCH_STRATEGY.md](./BRANCH_STRATEGY.md) | Branch naming and workflows | When creating branches |
| [ROLLBACK_PROCEDURES.md](./ROLLBACK_PROCEDURES.md) | Undo and recovery operations | When errors occur |
| [CODE_REVIEW.md](./CODE_REVIEW.md) | Review process and escalation | After code changes |

- Merge vs rebase guidance
### ROLLBACK_PROCEDURES.md
Comprehensive recovery and undo operations for all scenarios.
**Key sections:**
- Immediate rollback (uncommitted)
- Post-commit rollback
- Post-push rollback
- Disaster recovery checklist
### CODE_REVIEW.md
Code review process for agents including self-review and human escalation.
**Key sections:**
- Agent self-review checklist
- When to request human review
- Review focus areas

### MCP_CHECKPOINTING.md
Integration with MCP servers for automatic checkpointing before and after tasks.
**Key sections:**
- Checkpoint concepts
- MCP server integration

### DOCUMENTATION_UPDATES.md
Procedures for updating documentation after sprints and code changes.
**Key sections:**
- Post-sprint updates
- Documentation review checklist
- Cross-reference maintenance

## Integration with Guardrails
All workflows in this directory **support** the safety protocols defined in [AGENT_GUARDRAILS.md](../AGENT_GUARDRAILS.md). They provide detailed implementation guidance for:
- **Execution** → AGENT_EXECUTION.md
- **Audit & escalation** → AGENT_ESCALATION.md
- **Verification** → TESTING_VALIDATION.md
- **Commits** → COMMIT_WORKFLOW.md
- **Rollback** → ROLLBACK_PROCEDURES.md
- **Error handling** → Referenced throughout
