Turn a large task into a persistent plan file and a trackable Issue CSV (local files, not an external issue tracker), then execute the issues autonomously with per-row status updates. Use when work must survive across sessions or hand off between agents, when you need an auditable record of multi-step execution, or to resume a plans/ and issues/ pair from an earlier session. Do not use for single-session tasks that your harness's built-in plan or todo tracking already covers.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Issue-Driven Workflow

## Philosophy

The plan and Issue CSV are a work amplifier. Front-load the thinking so the agent has a full plate of actionable work to execute autonomously. More rows means more useful work per run.

1. **Planning (interactive)**: search the web, read docs, ask questions, gather context. A thorough plan means more work the agent can do without stopping.
2. **Execution (autonomous)**: be proactive, not passive. Work through the CSV end to end and do not wait for permission on routine decisions.

The quality bar: every CSV row is completable, testable, and markable DONE without further clarification.

## E2E loop

plan → issues → implement → test → review

## Paths

Commands below write `<skill_dir>` for the absolute path of the directory containing this SKILL.md. Your harness usually reports that path when it loads the skill. If it does not, use this SKILL.md's own location. Substitute it before running.

Run the scripts from inside the target project. They resolve the project root from the working directory (nearest `.git`, then `AGENTS.md`), and artifacts land at that root: plans in `plans/`, issue CSVs in `issues/`.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add appautomaton/agent-designer/issue-driven-workflow@sha256:c5045602de778f6c

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260711.6463e34, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
