# Codify workflow

1. Run `cg brief`, then `cg spec next` and `cg spec start <id>`.
2. Use `cg survey` and `cg context` before broad reads. Use grep_code, find_files, search_code, and get_context (MCP) before any shell search; from the CLI, `cg grep <pattern>` and `cg files <glob>` replace grep, rg, and find.
3. Implement only the claimed task; record durable decisions with `cg remember`.
4. Run `cg review`, `cg guard`, and the task verification.
5. Snapshot with `cg commit`, qualify with `cg spec done`, and prove with `cg spec trace`.
6. When `cg spec next` returns `@docs`, build `cg docs packet`, update only the configured documentation targets and claims ledger, then finish with `cg docs close`. Never recursively run `cg spec run` from documentation closure.
Never force completion or treat a snapshot, declaration, or heartbeat as qualification.
