    ```sh
-   printf '%s\n' '{"args":{"repositoryPath":"/absolute/path/to/repository"}}' \
-     | norn runs start summarize
+   printf '%s\n' '{"args":{"text":"The launch moved to Friday."}}' \
+     | norn runs start draftSummary
 
    norn runs wait <run-id>
+   norn runs inspect <run-id>
    ```
 
-   Replace `<run-id>` with the ID returned by `start`.
+   Replace `<run-id>` with the ID returned by `start`. The run should be
+   `interrupted` at `saveSummary`; inspect the saved draft before approving it.
+
+4. **Edit and approve.** Resume with the reviewed summary:
+
+   ```sh
+   printf '%s\n' \
+     '{"args":{"summary":"Launch is now Friday.","isApproved":true}}' \
+     | norn runs resume <run-id>
+   norn runs wait <run-id>
+   ```
+
+   Resume uses the saved draft boundary without calling the agent again. On
+   completion, `summary.txt` is in `run.paths.workspace`. See
+   [gates and recovery](docs/recovery.md) for rejecting, retrying, and restoring
+   earlier checkpoints.
+
+For another example combining a Git command, an agent, and a saved file, see
+[the Git summary workflow](examples/getting-started/README.md).

+## Workflow introduction
+
+```bash
+norn workflows intro
+```
+
+Returns `{ "intro": "..." }` with caller guidance and an XML advertisement of the
+current project's entrypoints. Each `<workflow>` contains its fully qualified
+`<id>` and caller-facing `<instructions>` inside `<available_norn_workflows>`;
+field values are XML-escaped. Internal steps and argument schemas are omitted.
+For example, the [minimal project](../examples/minimal-workflow/README.md)
+advertises `greet`; its full contract remains available through `workflows inspect greet`.
+
+The command discovers the nearest project from the invocation directory and
+loads current registration modules. No project, or a valid project with no
+entrypoints, returns `{ "intro": "" }` with no preamble or XML wrapper. Invalid
+configuration or incomplete registration fails rather than returning an empty
+or partial advertisement. Like [other discovery commands](projects.md#import-and-reload),
+it evaluates module-level code but does not execute workflows or create run state.
+
+Adapters can request `docs intro` and `workflows intro` from the same selected
+executable and deliver the returned text in that order. Neither command injects
+context itself. The advertisement is a snapshot, not a replacement for live
+workflow listing and inspection after source changes.
