| description | Shared lifecycle contract for manual/auto modes in PDCA-style workflow skills: auto mode always reverts to manual on completion or interruption, re-entering auto requires an explicit trigger, implicit continuation never re-activates it, and batch orchestrators pass mode explicitly. Referenced by PDCA hosts via frontmatter dependencies; load when a host delegates its mode rules. |
Workflow Mode Lifecycle
Internal shared skill. Prevents mode stickiness — the user being unaware that the AI is still making automatic decisions. Referencing workflows declare it in frontmatter dependencies and abort at startup if it is missing.
Mode recognition
- Trigger contains "自动" (auto) → auto mode; otherwise → manual mode (default).
- Mid-run switching: user says "切换自动模式" / "切换手动模式" to switch.
- Manual: pause at each stage exit for user confirmation. Auto: proceed end-to-end, pausing only at workflow-defined limits (e.g. review-loop cap).
Core rule: auto always reverts to manual
Auto mode automatically reverts to manual mode when:
| Scenario | Note |
|---|
| Full flow completes normally | Including the case where a new cycle is decided — a new cycle starts in manual by default |
| Flow is interrupted in any way | Failure abort, user-initiated stop, termination after a review-cap pause |
The workflow-specific completion point (e.g. PR merged, archive done) is defined by each workflow's own differences block, but the revert rule itself is universal.
Re-entering auto mode: explicit only
After reverting to manual, re-entering auto mode requires an explicit trigger:
- "自动 xxx" / "自动分析" / "自动解决" / "切换自动模式"
Implicit continuation — "继续", "再改一下", "深入分析" — must NOT re-activate auto mode.
Batch scenarios
In batch orchestration (e.g. jira-fix-batch, opsx-jira-fix-batch), the orchestrator passes the mode explicitly per sub-invocation based on the user's batch-level intent. The single-run revert rule above does not propagate across sub-invocations.
Integration guide (for referencing workflows)
- Keep in your own body: your trigger-word table (triggers differ per workflow), the manual/auto stop-point summary per stage, and a workflow-specific differences block.
- Delegate to this skill: the revert-to-manual core rule, explicit re-entry, implicit-continuation prohibition, and the batch rule. Do NOT copy their full text inline.
- Differences block examples (stay in the workflow, never move here):
--retry resets to manual; --resume keeps the checkpoint mode; validation-failure rollback keeps mode within N attempts; archive failure counts as interruption.
