+# Workflow Chains Guide
+
+> Pre-configured multi-skill sequences for complex development workflows
+
+---
+
+## 📚 Overview
+
+**Workflow Chains** are pre-configured combinations of multiple skills that work together to accomplish complex tasks. They provide a higher-level abstraction than individual skills, enabling sophisticated workflows with a single command.
+
+**Schema Version:** 2.0 (FAANG-compliant)
+
+**What's New in v2.0:**
+
+- ✅ **Error Handling**: Retry policies, fallback chains, fail-fast strategies
+- ✅ **Dependency Management**: DAG execution, parallel processing, explicit dependencies
+- ✅ **Success Criteria**: Required and optional metrics for validation
+- ✅ **Versioning**: Semantic versioning, changelog tracking, deprecation support
+
+**Total Chains:** 8 production-ready workflows  
+**Total Skills:** 36 unique skills across all chains  
+**Coverage:** Web development, security, debugging, deployment, API development, production monitoring, performance optimization, documentation
+
+---

+
+## 🎯 How to Use Workflow Chains
+
+### Method 1: Slash Commands (Recommended)
+
+**Easiest way** - Use slash commands that automatically trigger chains:
+
+```bash
+# Build web app
+/build todo app with Next.js
+
+# Security audit
+/inspect for vulnerabilities
+
+# Debug issue
+/diagnose login failure
+
+# Deploy
+/launch to production
+```
+
+### Method 2: Natural Language
+
+Mention trigger keywords in your request:
+
+```bash
+# Triggers build-web-app
+"Help me build an e-commerce app"
+
+# Triggers security-audit
+"Run a security audit on my codebase"
+
+# Triggers debug-complex
+"Deep debug this React rendering issue"
+
+# Triggers deploy-production
+"I want to deploy to production safely"
+```
+
+### Method 3: Explicit Chain Request
+
+Directly reference the chain:
+
+```bash
+"Use the api-development chain to build a payments API"
+```
+

+
+## 📊 Workflow Chains vs Skills
+
+| Aspect      | Individual Skill  | Workflow Chain  |
+| ----------- | ----------------- | --------------- |
+| **Scope**   | Single domain     | Multi-domain    |
+| **Skills**  | 1                 | 4-7             |
+| **Example** | `react-architect` | `build-web-app` |
+| **Use**     | Specific task     | Complex goal    |
+| **Loading** | Manual            | Auto            |
+
+**When to use individual skills:**
+
+- Quick fix or refactor
+- Single-domain work (e.g., just styling)
+
+**When to use workflow chains:**
+
+- Building features end-to-end
+- Need multiple perspectives
+- Complex workflows
+

+
+## 🔍 Chain Execution Flow
+
+```
+User Request

+Deliver complete solution
+```
+
+**Example: Build Web App Flow**
+
+```
+/build dashboard app
+     ↓
+build-web-app chain
+     ↓
+1. app-scaffold    → Creates src/, components/, tests/
+2. project-planner → Breaks down tasks (auth, charts, etc.)
+3. web-core        → Adds routing, state management
+4. design-system   → Applies UI patterns
+5. tailwind-kit    → Configures styling
+6. test-architect  → Sets up Jest/Vitest

+Chain: deploy-production
+
+Skills activated:
+1. security-scanner → Pre-deploy vuln scan
+2. perf-optimizer   → Load time check
+3. e2e-automation   → Critical path tests
+4. feature-flags    → 10% → 50% → 100% rollout

+
+## 🛠️ Customizing Chains
+
+Workflow chains are defined in `.agent/skills/registry.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "chains": {
+    "chain-name": {
+      "description": "What this chain does",
+      "skills": ["skill1", "skill2", "skill3"],
+      "trigger": "keyword phrase",
+      "workflows": ["/slash-command"]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**To create a custom chain:**
+
+1. Open `.agent/skills/registry.json`
+2. Add new chain under `"chains"` section
+3. Specify skills in desired order
+4. Set trigger keywords
+5. Associate with workflows (optional)
+
+**Example custom chain:**
+
+```json
+"mobile-app-dev": {
+  "description": "React Native app development",
+  "skills": [
+    "mobile-first",
+    "react-architect",
+    "test-architect",
+    "perf-optimizer"
+  ],
+  "trigger": "build mobile app",
+  "workflows": ["/build"]
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## 📚 FAQ
+
+**Q: Can I use multiple chains in one request?**
+A: No, only one chain is activated per request. For complex work, break into multiple requests.
+
+**Q: What if I only need some skills from a chain?**
+A: Request individual skills explicitly: "Use react-architect skill to..."
+
+**Q: Are chains executed in parallel or sequence?**
+A: Skills within a chain are loaded together and their knowledge is combined. Execution depends on the task.
+
+**Q: Can I see which chain was activated?**
+A: Agent will typically announce: "Engaging build-web-app workflow" or similar.
+
+**Q: How do I add a new chain?**
+A: Edit `.agent/skills/registry.json` and add to the `chains` object.

+
+## 🎓 Best Practices
+
+### 1. **Use the Right Chain**
+
+```bash
+✅ Building feature: /build or build-web-app
+✅ Security review: /inspect or security-audit
+✅ Debugging: /diagnose or debug-complex
+✅ Deploying: /launch or deploy-production
+```
+
+### 2. **Be Specific in Requests**
+
+```bash
+❌ "Build something"
+✅ "Build a blog with Next.js and Tailwind"
+
+❌ "Check security"
+✅ "Security audit focusing on authentication"
+```
+
+### 3. **Combine with Context**
+
+```bash
+"Build API for user management (chain: api-development)
+Requirements:
+- GraphQL
+- PostgreSQL
+- JWT auth
+- Rate limiting"
+```
+
+### 4. **Verify Chain Activation**
+
+Look for agent confirmation:
+
+```
+🤖 Engaging build-web-app chain
+→ 7 skills loaded: app-scaffold, project-planner...
+```
