Discover files with trigger_phrase and/or refresh frontmatter, let the user choose which to schedule for periodic re-injection via CronCreate. Prevents behavioral drift by keeping core rules and goals fresh in context.
Write trigger phrases from .claude/triggers.json into file frontmatter as model-scoped trigger_phrase fields. Bridges trigger generation (scan) with scheduled injection (zenflow:schedule).
Build a GitHub issue into a PR. User-launched with an issue number — reads the issue, confirms with user, creates branch, implements against acceptance criteria, runs verification, and opens a PR. Every decision surfaces via AskUserQuestion.
Collaborative working session — you and the user are a team exploring, researching, and planning together. When implementation work is needed, create well-structured GitHub issues. The user launches Builder agents to implement and Reviewer agents to verify.
Shed accumulated context mid-session. Writes a knowledge handoff document capturing session state, decisions, observations, and behavioral calibration, then guides the user through /clear and resumption.
Runtime verification using Playwright MCP + proof artifacts. Use when acceptance criteria mention UI behavior, when claiming runtime verification, or when independently verifying a PR's claims. Produces artifact-backed proof — screenshots, DOM snapshots — not prose claims.

Branch: feature/notifications | Skill: zenflow:dispatch
Worked on: plan: resources/plans/245-realtime-notifications.md
Added real-time SSE notifications for issue state changes
Files: 5 modified, 2 created | Tests: +8
Insight: Two-stage review caught a missing reconnection handler
Feedback: Worktree delegation kept context clean during side fix
◆ 2026-03-27 10:15 | bug-fix | completed | delegated
Branch: fix/rate-limiter | Skill: zenflow:bug-fix

◆ 2026-03-26 16:00 | exploration | partial | primary
Branch: feature/mastra | Skill: zenflow:collab
Worked on: Mastra workflow integration patterns
Explored Mastra workflow integration patterns
Insight: Mastra's step() API changed in 0.5 — docs are outdated
Would do differently: Check installed version before reading remote docs
Feedback: Remote docs should be version-pinned in bookmarks
◆ 2026-03-26 11:00 | work | blocked | delegated
Branch: fix/sse-backoff | Skill: zenflow:plan
Worked on: plan: resources/plans/244-sse-backoff.md
Attempted SSE backoff implementation, blocked by unclear retry semantics
Blocker: No spec for max retry count — needs product decision
