Create and run lightweight standalone `WORKFLOW.md` loops with `fest create workflow`, `fest next`, and `fest workflow advance`. Use when a user wants step-by-step workflow guidance inside any ordinary directory, explore/design work item, project folder, or thin-start workflow.
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
# Fest Standalone Workflows
Use a standalone `WORKFLOW.md` when work needs a guided step loop in an ordinary
directory, without setting up a full festival (phases/sequences/tasks).
Thin-start loop:
```text
WORKFLOW.md -> fest next -> do step -> fest workflow advance -> repeat
```
## When to Use This vs. a Full Festival
- **Standalone workflow**: a short, repeatable checklist that can live in any
directory: a code-review checklist, a release-cut runbook, a one-off
investigation. Minimal ceremony, no phases/sequences.
- **Full festival**: multi-phase work that needs planning, sequencing, and
quality gates over an extended effort. Use `fest create festival` instead
(see the `fest-planning` skill).
## Create
Run from the directory that should own the workflow:
```bash
mkdir -p my-workflow && cd my-workflow
fest create workflow my-workflow --steps '{
"title": "My Workflow",
"description": "A lightweight guided loop.",
"steps": [
{
"name": "PLAN",
"goal": "Decide what needs to happen.",
"actions": ["Write the goal.", "List the unknowns."],
"checkpoint": "none"
},
{
"name": "DO",
"goal": "Do the work.",

How to install
mdr add obedience-corp/festival/fest-standalone-workflows@sha256:b7c7387e919858e2The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260712.b23a476, 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.
