feat: Phase 2 — engine write path (CAS nodes + threads.json)

- Engine writes StartNode, StateNode, ContentMerkleNode as CAS blobs
- threads.json tracks active threads, completed → history/{date}.jsonl
- No more .data.jsonl writes
- ancestors skip-list: [parent, ...parentAncestors] capped at 11
- Tests: 4 pass (engine write path)

+This monorepo implements a workflow engine that executes single-file ESM bundles. Each workflow is a self-contained `.esm.js` file with an XXH64 hash as its version identifier. Shared types live in `@uncaged/workflow-protocol`; bundle authors typically depend on `@uncaged/workflow-runtime`.

 Workflow bundles (`.esm.js`) follow the same rule: export `const run` and `const descriptor`, not `export default`.
 
+### Folder Module Discipline
+
+Every folder under `src/` is a **module boundary**. Four rules:
+
+| # | Rule | Rationale |
+|---|------|-----------|
+| 1 | **Every folder exports via `index.ts`** | Single entry point for the module |
+| 2 | **Types live in `types.ts`** | Each folder's type definitions go in `<folder>/types.ts`, not scattered across files |
+| 3 | **Single export source** | Only `index.ts` may re-export. No file may re-export from another module's internals. Cross-module imports must go through `index.ts` — never reach past it to import a specific file |
+| 4 | **`index.ts` is pure re-exports** | No type definitions, no function implementations — only `export { ... } from` statements |
+
+```typescript
+// ✅ Good — import through module boundary
+import { createCasStore } from "../cas/index.js";
+import type { CasStore } from "../cas/index.js";
+
+// ❌ Bad — reaching past index.ts
+import { createCasStore } from "../cas/cas.js";

+
+// ❌ Bad — types defined in index.ts
+// in cas/index.ts:
+export type CasStore = { ... };  // should be in cas/types.ts
+```
+
+**Exception**: The package-level `src/index.ts` is the public API surface and re-exports from folder `index.ts` files. Files that remain at `src/` root (e.g. `types.ts`, `workflow-as-agent.ts`) are not inside a folder module and follow normal rules.

+# @uncaged/workflow
+
+A workflow engine that executes single-file ESM bundles. Each workflow is a self-contained `.esm.js` file identified by its XXH64 hash (Crockford Base32).
+
+## Core Concepts
+
+| Concept | Description |
+|---------|-------------|
+| **Workflow** | A single-file ESM module exporting `run` (workflow function) and `descriptor` (metadata). Identified by its XXH64 hash. |
+| **Bundle** | The physical `.esm.js` file stored in `~/.uncaged/workflow/bundles/`. |
+| **Thread** | A single execution of a workflow, identified by a ULID. Persisted as `.data.jsonl` + `.info.jsonl`. |
+| **Role** | A named actor within a workflow. Each role produces output with typed `meta`. Roles live inside template packages (`src/roles/`). |
+| **Registry** | `workflow.yaml` — maps workflow names to current/historical bundle hashes. |
+| **CAS** | Content-Addressed Storage — bundles are immutable and addressed by hash. |
+
+## Monorepo Packages
+
+```

+
+Managed with **bun workspace** using the `workspace:*` protocol.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```bash
+# Install dependencies
+bun install
+
+# Build all packages
+bun run build
+
+# Register a workflow bundle
+uncaged-workflow workflow add solve-issue dist/packages/workflow-template-solve-issue/solve-issue.esm.js
+
+# Run a workflow
+uncaged-workflow run solve-issue --prompt "Fix bug #42"
+```
+
+## CLI Usage
+
+```bash
+uncaged-workflow                   # Print full command usage (exits with status 1)
+uncaged-workflow workflow list     # List registered workflows
+uncaged-workflow run <name>        # Start a workflow thread
+uncaged-workflow thread list       # List all threads
+uncaged-workflow thread show <id>  # Inspect a thread
+uncaged-workflow skill             # Agent-consumable reference docs
+```
+
+Run `uncaged-workflow` with no arguments to print usage, or `uncaged-workflow skill cli` for the full CLI skill reference.
+
+## Development
+
+```bash
+bun run check    # Biome lint + format check
+bun run format   # Auto-format with Biome
+bun test         # Run tests
+```

+- **`workflow-protocol`** — Pure types (`WorkflowFn`, contexts, `CasStore` interface, descriptor shapes), `START` / `END`, `ok` / `err`. Depends only on peer `zod` for schema-related types in signatures.
+- **`workflow-runtime`** — Workflow author surface: `createWorkflow` from `src/create-workflow.js`, re-exports protocol types/constants used when authoring bundles.
+- **`workflow-util`** — Cross-cutting utilities: Crockford Base32, ULID, `createLogger`, `getDefaultWorkflowStorageRoot`, `getGlobalCasDir`, ref normalization; re-exports `ok`/`err` from protocol.
+- **`workflow-cas`** — Filesystem CAS (`createCasStore`), `hashString` / `hashWorkflowBundleBytes`, Merkle node serialization and helpers (`merkle.js`).
+- **`workflow-register`** — Bundle pipeline (`validateWorkflowBundle`, `extractBundleExports`, descriptor builders), registry YAML read/write, `resolveModel` / `splitProviderModelRef`.
+- **`workflow-execute`** — `executeThread`, supervisor/worker wiring (`engine/`), fork/GC/pause gate, `createExtract` + LLM extract helpers (`extract/`), `workflowAsAgent`. Imports `@uncaged/workflow-reactor` for LLM-backed extract/supervisor paths (`extract-fn.ts`, `supervisor.ts`).
+- **`workflow-reactor`** — `createLlmFn`, `createThreadReactor`, and thread tool-invocation types — consumed by `workflow-execute`.
+- **`cli-workflow`** — CLI commands and HTTP/dashboard-related wiring (`hono`, `yaml`); composes register + execute + CAS + util.
+- **`workflow-agent-*`** — Replaceable `AgentFn` implementations (Cursor / Hermes CLIs, or HTTP LLM).
+- **`workflow-util-agent`** — Shared prompt assembly and subprocess spawning for CLI agents.
+- **`workflow-template-*`** — Concrete `WorkflowDefinition` graphs + Zod role schemas + descriptor builders for publishing bundles.
+- **`workflow-dashboard`** — Standalone React UI; no published library entry matching `src/index.ts`.

-- **Moderator is synchronous and pure** — no I/O, no state mutation
-- **Agent gets context, not instructions** — reads `ctx.currentRole.systemPrompt`
-- **Extractor is a general tool** — not limited to post-agent extraction; agents can use it too (e.g. Cursor agent extracts workspace path before execution)
-- **extractPrompt is a call parameter**, not context state — different callers use different prompts
+- **Moderator is synchronous and pure** — no I/O, no state mutation inside `createWorkflow`’s moderator call path.
+- **Agent receives `AgentContext`** — reads `ctx.currentRole.systemPrompt`; raw output becomes `agentContent` for extract.
+- **Extractor is `WorkflowRuntime.extract`** — supplied by the engine from registry-resolved LLM config (`workflow-execute`); stores agent body in CAS and yields `contentHash` + `refs` on each step (`create-workflow.ts`).
+- **`extractPrompt` is a call parameter** on `RoleDefinition`, not implicit context state.

-## Bundle Contract
+## Bundle contract
 
-A workflow bundle is a single `.esm.js` file with two named exports:
+A workflow bundle is a single `.esm.js` file with two named exports (see `WorkflowFn` / `WorkflowDescriptor` in `packages/workflow-protocol/src/types.ts`):
 
 ```typescript
-// Named exports (no default export)
 export const descriptor: WorkflowDescriptor;
 export const run: WorkflowFn;
 
 type WorkflowFn = (
-  input: { prompt: string; steps: RoleOutput[] },
-  options: { threadId: string; maxRounds: number },
-) => AsyncGenerator<RoleOutput, WorkflowResult>;
+  thread: ThreadContext,
+  runtime: WorkflowRuntime,
+) => AsyncGenerator<RoleOutput, WorkflowCompletion>;
 ```
 
+`RoleOutput` carries `contentHash`, `meta`, and `refs` (agent text lives in CAS, addressed by hash).
+
 ### Constraints
 
 - Single `.esm.js` file
-- No dynamic `import()`
-- All static imports must be Node built-in modules only
-- XXH64 hash (Crockford Base32) = globally unique version ID
+- No dynamic `import()` in bundles (loader exempt in engine)
+- Portable bundle static imports are constrained by validation in `@uncaged/workflow-register` (`validateWorkflowBundle`)
+- XXH64 hash (Crockford Base32) = version ID
 
 ### Why AsyncGenerator?
 
-- Each `yield` → engine writes to `.data.jsonl`, checks abort/pause
-- `return` → engine marks thread complete
-- Fork = pass historical steps as `input.steps` to a new generator
-- Zero injection — bundle doesn't import from the engine
+- Each `yield` lets `workflow-execute` persist state, CAS rows, and enforce pause/abort
+- `return` supplies `WorkflowCompletion`
+- Fork replays historical steps into a new thread context
+- Bundle does not import the engine — only protocol/runtime types at build time

+# RFC: CAS-Based Thread Storage
+
+> Status: Draft
+> Author: 小橘 🍊（NEKO Team）
+> Date: 2026-05-09
+
+## Summary
+
+Replace `.data.jsonl` with a fully CAS-based thread state chain. Threads become linked lists of immutable CAS nodes, indexed by a per-bundle `threads.json`.
+
+## Motivation
+
+`.data.jsonl` is a flat append-only file with three different row formats (start, role step, end). This makes forking expensive (copy file), deduplication impossible (forked threads repeat shared history), and GC complex (must parse every row to find CAS refs).
+
+Threads are inherently immutable append-only sequences — a natural fit for CAS hash chains, similar to git's commit DAG.
+
+## Design
+
+### Node Types
+
+Two CAS node types, using the existing `{ type, payload, refs }` CAS blob structure:
+
+#### StartNode
+
+Contains workflow-level parameters. **No threadId** (because the same StartNode can be shared across forks). Prompt is stored as a CAS blob and referenced via `refs[0]`.
+
+```
+CAS blob:
+{
+  type: "start",
+  payload: {
+    name: "solve-issue",
+    hash: "BUNDLE_HASH",
+    maxRounds: 10,
+    depth: 0
+  },
+  refs: [
+    <prompt_hash>    // refs[0]: initial task prompt (CAS blob)
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+- No `role`, `content`, `meta` — this is not a step, it's workflow metadata
+- Prompt is **not** inline — it lives in CAS and is referenced by hash
+
+#### StateNode
+
+One per role step (including `__end__`).
+
+```
+CAS blob:
+{
+  type: "state",
+  payload: {
+    role: "coder",
+    meta: { ... },
+    start: "<start_hash>",
+    content: "<content_merkle_hash>",
+    ancestors: ["<parent_hash>", "<grandparent_hash>", ...],
+    compact: null,
+    timestamp: 1234567890
+  },
+  refs: [<start_hash>, <content_hash>, <parent_hash>, ...]
+}
+```
+
+**Payload is the source of truth.** Application code reads named fields from payload. `refs[]` is a **GC index** — automatically derived from payload by collecting all CAS hashes. GC only scans `refs[]` without understanding payload structure.
+
+**Payload fields:**
+
+| Field | Type | Meaning |
+|-------|------|---------|
+| `role` | `string` | Role name, or `"__end__"` for completion |
+| `meta` | `object` | Structured metadata extracted from agent output |
+| `start` | `string` | StartNode hash |
+| `content` | `string` | Content Merkle node hash (carries role artifact refs) |
+| `ancestors` | `string[]` | `[parent, grandparent, ...]` — up to 11 entries (1 parent + 10 skip-list). Empty for first step after start. `ancestors[0]` is the direct parent. |
+| `compact` | `string \| null` | CAS hash of a compacted summary of all nodes before this one. When present, LLM context assembly can use this instead of walking the full chain. |
+| `timestamp` | `number` | Unix timestamp in ms |
+
+### Content Merkle Node
+
+The content at `refs[2]` of each StateNode is itself a CAS Merkle node. This is where **role artifact references** live:
+
+```
+CAS blob:
+{
+  type: "content",
+  payload: "<role output text>",
+  refs: [
+    <artifact_hash_1>,   // e.g. a commit, a file, a sub-result
+    <artifact_hash_2>,
+    ...
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+The Extractor is responsible for producing both `meta` and `refs` from raw agent output:
+
+```
+Agent raw output
+    ↓
+Extractor → { meta, contentPayload, refs[] }
+    ↓
+CAS put content Merkle: { type: "content", payload: contentPayload, refs }
+    ↓ contentHash
+StateNode: { ..., refs: [start, parent, contentHash, ...ancestors] }
+```
+
+This keeps StateNode refs fixed and simple. All role-specific artifact references are encapsulated in the content Merkle node. GC follows: `thread head → StateNode.refs → content Merkle.refs → artifacts`, full chain recursive.
+
+### End Node
+
+An end is just a StateNode with `role: "__end__"`:
+
+```
+{
+  type: "state",
+  payload: {
+    role: "__end__",
+    meta: { returnCode: 0, summary: "completed successfully" },
+    start: "<start_hash>",
+    content: "<content_hash>",
+    ancestors: ["<parent_hash>", ...],
+    compact: null,
+    timestamp: 1234567891
+  },
+  refs: [<start_hash>, <content_hash>, <parent_hash>, ...]
+}
+```
+
+### Thread Index: `threads.json`
+
+Per-bundle directory, one `threads.json` file. **Only active (in-progress) threads** live here:
+
+```
+~/.uncaged/workflow/bundles/<hash>/threads.json
+```
+
+```json
+{
+  "01JTHREAD1AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA": {
+    "head": "<latest_state_node_hash>",
+    "start": "<start_node_hash>",
+    "updatedAt": 1234567891
+  }
+}
+```
+
+When a thread completes (`__end__`), it is **removed from `threads.json`** and appended to a date-partitioned history file:
+
+```
+~/.uncaged/workflow/bundles/<hash>/history/{YYYY-MM-DD}.jsonl
+```
+
+Each line:
+
+```json
+{"threadId":"01JTHREAD1AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA","head":"<end_node_hash>","start":"<start_node_hash>","completedAt":1234567891}
+```
+
+Benefits:
+- `threads.json` stays small — only in-flight threads
+- Dashboard watches `threads.json` for real-time updates; completed threads don't trigger watches
+- History is queryable by date but not actively monitored
+- GC roots = all heads from `threads.json` + all heads from `history/*.jsonl`
+
+### Ancestor Skip-List
+
+Each StateNode carries up to 11 entries in `payload.ancestors` (1 parent + 10 skip-list, newest first):
+
+```
+Node 15: ancestors = [node14, node13, node12, node11, node10, node9, node8, node7, node6, node5, node4]
+                      ^parent  ^--- skip-list (10 most recent) ---^
+```
+
+This enables:
+- **Paginated fetch**: jump to any recent ancestor without walking the full chain
+- **Partial replay**: fetch last N steps without loading the entire history
+- The list is capped at 10 to keep node size bounded
+
+### Fork
+
+Forking a thread at step N:
+
+1. Create new threadId
+2. Create a new StateNode whose `parent` (refs[1]) points to the fork point's StateNode
+3. Register the new threadId in `threads.json` with its own head
+4. **Zero data duplication** — the forked thread shares all ancestor nodes via CAS
+
+### Compact
+
+When a StateNode has `payload.compact` set:
+
+```json
+{
+  "type": "state",
+  "payload": {
+    "role": "coder",
+    "meta": { ... },
+    "compact": "<cas_hash_of_summary>",
+    "timestamp": 1234
+  },
+  "refs": [...]
+}
+```
+
+This means: "everything before this node has been summarized into the blob at `compact`". When building LLM context:
+
+1. Walk back from head
+2. If a node has `compact`, stop walking — use the compact summary + all nodes after it
+3. If no compact found, use full chain
+
+This enables long-running threads without unbounded context growth.
+
+### GC
+
+Simple mark-and-sweep:
+
+1. **Roots**: all `head` and `start` hashes from `threads.json` + all `history/*.jsonl` files
+2. **Mark**: from each root, recursively mark all reachable hashes via `refs[]` (including content Merkle → artifact refs)
+3. **Sweep**: delete unmarked CAS blobs
+
+No per-row format parsing needed. GC only needs to understand `refs[]`.
+
+### refs[] Derivation
+
+`refs[]` is auto-derived from payload at write time via a `collectRefs(payload)` function that extracts all CAS hash strings from named fields (`start`, `content`, `ancestors`, `compact`). Application code never reads `refs[]` — it reads named payload fields. This makes `refs[]` a pure GC optimization with zero semantic coupling.
+
+### Extract Phase
+
+The Extractor is expanded from the current design. Currently it only extracts `meta` from agent output. In the new design it extracts:
+
+| Output | Purpose |
+|--------|---------|
+| `meta` | Structured metadata (same as before) |
+| `contentPayload` | The text payload for the content Merkle node |
+| `refs[]` | CAS hashes of artifacts produced by this role step |
+
+The `refs[]` become the content Merkle node's refs, enabling GC to trace all role-produced artifacts.
+
+## What Stays Unchanged
+
+- `.info.jsonl` — debug logging stays as-is (high-frequency append, not suitable for CAS)
+- CAS blob storage format (`~/.uncaged/workflow/cas/`)
+- Bundle registry (`workflow.yaml`)
+
+## Migration
+
+Breaking change. Old `.data.jsonl` files become incompatible. No backward compat fallback (per project convention).
+
+## Changes by Package
+
+| Package | Changes |
+|---------|---------|
+| `workflow-protocol` | Replace `StartStep`, `RoleStep` types with `StartNode`, `StateNode`. Add `ContentMerkleNode` type. Expand `ExtractResult` to include `refs[]`. |
+| `workflow-cas` | Add `findReachableHashes(roots)` for GC mark phase |
+| `workflow-execute` | Rewrite engine to write CAS nodes + update `threads.json` instead of appending JSONL. Move completed threads to `history/`. Simplify `gc.ts`. Simplify `fork-thread.ts`. Expand extract phase to produce refs. |
+| `workflow-runtime` | `ThreadContext` built by walking chain from head. `start.prompt` resolved from CAS via StartNode.refs[0]. |
+| `cli-workflow` | `thread list/show/rm` read from `threads.json` + `history/`. SSE watches `threads.json`. |
+| `workflow-dashboard` | Watch `threads.json` instead of `.data.jsonl` |
+| Templates & Agents | Update extract definitions to produce `refs[]`. Update `ctx.start.content` → CAS resolved. |

+
+面向在本仓库中编写 workflow 的 coding agent。引擎层术语与架构细节与 **@uncaged/workflow** 上游文档一致，编写时可对照 \`CLAUDE.md\` 与 \`docs/architecture.md\`。
+
+## 1. 项目结构（workspace / template / workflow instance）
+
+| 层级 | 目录 / 产物 | 职责 |
+|------|----------------|------|
+| **Workspace** | 仓库根（\`package.json\` 含 \`workspaces: ["templates/*", "workflows"]\`） | Bun monorepo：统一管理本地模板包与 workflow 实例 |
+| **Template** | \`templates/<name>/\`（如 \`src/roles.ts\`、\`src/moderator.ts\`、\`src/index.ts\`） | 纯数据：**WorkflowDefinition**（各 **RoleDefinition** + **Moderator**），**不绑定**具体 Agent |
+| **Workflow instance** | \`workflows/\`（或单独包） | 把模板与运行时 **AgentFn** / **ExtractFn** 组合，产出可注册的 **单文件 ESM bundle**（\`run\` + \`descriptor\` 命名导出） |
+
+Init 生成的骨架：\`templates/\` 下放可复用定义，\`workflows/\` 下放绑定与打包入口。
+
+## 2. 核心概念
+
+- **RoleMeta**：\`Record<string, Record<string, unknown>>\`，角色名 → 该角色结构化 meta 的形状约定。
+- **RoleDefinition<Meta>**：纯数据——\`description\`、\`systemPrompt\`、\`extractPrompt\`、\`schema\`（Zod v4）。不含执行逻辑。
+- **WorkflowDefinition<M extends RoleMeta>**：\`description\` + \`roles\`（各角色定义）+ **Moderator**。
+- **Moderator**：\`(ctx: ModeratorContext<M>) => (角色名) | END\`。同步、纯函数，只做路由。
+- **AgentFn**：\`(ctx: AgentContext) => Promise<string>\`，原始文本输出；从上下文读取当前角色的 \`systemPrompt\`。
+- **ExtractFn**：从上下文与 prompt 解析结构化数据（引擎与 Agent 都可使用）。
+
+引擎循环简述：**Moderator** → 选角色 → **Agent** 产出文本 → **Extract** 写入 **meta** → 追加 step，重复直至 **END**。详见 \`docs/architecture.md\` 中的三阶段说明。
+
+## 3. 开发流程
+
+1. **定义 RoleMeta**：为每个角色约定 meta 的 TypeScript 类型（与 Zod schema 对齐）。
+2. **编写 RoleDefinition**：为每个角色写 Zod \`schema\`，补齐 \`systemPrompt\` / \`extractPrompt\` / \`description\`。
+3. **编写 Moderator**：根据 \`ctx.steps\` 与业务状态返回下一个角色名或 \`END\`。
+4. **组装 WorkflowDefinition**：在模板 \`index\` 中导出 definition（以及必要的角色 / moderator 导出）。
+5. **实例化**：在 workflow 包中使用 \`createWorkflow(def, binding)\`（或项目约定的封装）绑定 **AgentFn**；**ExtractFn** 由引擎从 **workflow.yaml** 注入 \`WorkflowRuntime\`。
+6. **构建**：打包为单个 **.esm.js** bundle，使用 **uncaged-workflow add** 注册。
+
+## 4. 编码规范
+
+与 **CLAUDE.md** 对齐，摘要如下：
+
+- **Functional-first**：优先 \`function\` + \`type\`，避免面向对象业务模型。
+- **type 而非 interface**：类型别名一律用 \`type\`，不要使用 \`interface\`。
+- **显式可空**：不要用 \`?:\`；可空字段写成 \`T | null\`。
+- **function 而非 class**：不用 class（第三方库要求或 \`Error\` 子类除外）。
+- **Crockford Base32**：日志 tag、bundle hash、thread id 等标识约定（引擎侧）；工作区内自定义日志若沿用引擎 logger，tag 为 8 字符 Crockford Base32，且每个调用点唯一。
+- **Named exports only**：不要使用 **default export**；workflow bundle 须 **export const run** 与 **export const descriptor**。
+- **No console.log**：库代码用结构化 logger；CLI 用户输出可按项目 Biome 规则例外标注。
+- **No dynamic import**：业务与 bundle 内禁止 \`import()\`；例外仅限「运行时路径由用户提供的 bundle 加载器」（引擎内部）。
+
+## 5. Template 复用
+
+- **已发布模板**：可通过 npm 依赖 \`@uncaged/workflow-template-*\` 等包，在 workflow 实例中 import 其 **WorkflowDefinition** 再绑定 Agent。
+- **本地模板**：放在本仓库 \`templates/<name>/\`，由 workspace 协议引用（如 \`"template-foo": "workspace:*"\` 或相对路径），便于同源修改与版本控制。
+
+选择模板时保持 **definition 与 agent 绑定分离**：模板只描述「做什么、顺序如何」，实例决定「谁执行、如何抽取 meta」。
+
+## 6. Build and Test
+
+日常命令：
+
+\`\`\`sh
+bun install
+bun run check    # Biome：lint + format
+bun test
+bun build        # 若包内配置了 build 脚本则用于产出 dist / bundle
+uncaged-workflow add <name> <path/to/bundle.esm.js>
+\`\`\`
+
+提交前至少运行 **bun run check** 与 **bun test**；registry 与本地运行流参见 README 与 CLI 文档。
+
+## 7. 常见陷阱
+
+- **No dynamic import**：bundle 须静态可分析；动态 \`import()\` 会破坏哈希与加载约束。
+- **No default export**：引擎只接受命名导出 \`run\` / \`descriptor\`。
+- **No console.log**：避免在可被 Biome \`noConsole\` 规则覆盖的代码路径直接使用 console。
+- **Single-file ESM bundle**：交付物是单一 \`.esm.js\`；静态 import 仅限 Node 内置（见 architecture 文档中的 Bundle Contract）。
+

+编写新 workflow 时，先对齐 **RoleMeta → RoleDefinition（Zod）→ Moderator → 绑定 → 单文件 bundle**，再对照本节规范自检。

+1. \`uncaged-workflow workflow add my-wf ./my-wf.esm.js\` — register a workflow
+2. \`uncaged-workflow run my-wf --prompt "do the thing"\` — start a thread
+3. \`uncaged-workflow live --latest\` — attach and watch output
+4. \`uncaged-workflow thread show <thread-id>\` — inspect completed thread
+
+## Exit Codes
+
+| Code | Meaning |
+|------|---------|
+| 0 | Success |
+| 1 | Error |

+function formatSkillDevelop(): string {

+
+Reference for agents executing roles (planner, coder, reviewer, etc.) inside a running workflow thread.
+
+## Thread ID
+
+Every thread has a 26-character Crockford Base32 ULID (e.g. \`06F03H5V6JTMDST6P3TVH42RWM\`).
+
+It appears in the **first message** of the conversation. If unsure:
+
+\`\`\`
+uncaged-workflow thread list
+\`\`\`
+
+## CAS (Content-Addressable Storage)
+
+Store and retrieve content by hash in workflow storage (global CAS directory).
+
+| Operation | Command |
+|-----------|---------|
+| **Store** | \`uncaged-workflow cas put '<content>'\` → prints hash |
+| **Read** | \`uncaged-workflow cas get <HASH>\` → prints content |
+| **List** | \`uncaged-workflow cas list\` |
+
+CAS is the **only** supported way to persist structured data (phase plans, review notes, etc.) within a thread. Do not use temp files.
+
+## Meta Output
+
+Each role must produce structured output that the moderator extracts. The exact schema depends on the role, but the pattern is:
+
+1. Do your work (write code, run tests, etc.)
+2. Output a compact JSON object matching the role's schema
+3. The moderator extracts and validates it automatically
+
+## Thread Context
+
+The conversation history contains outputs from previous roles. Read it to understand:
+- What task was requested (from the initial prompt)
+- What previous roles produced (plans, code changes, review results)
+- What the moderator decided (which phase to work on, whether to retry)

+How to build, test, and publish workflow bundles for uncaged-workflow.
+
+## Bundle Structure
+
+A workflow bundle is a single ESM file (\`.esm.js\`) that exports:
+
+\`\`\`typescript
+// Required exports
+export const descriptor: WorkflowDescriptor;
+export const run: WorkflowRun;
+\`\`\`
+
+## WorkflowDescriptor
+
+Defines the workflow's metadata and role sequence:
+
+\`\`\`typescript
+type WorkflowDescriptor = {
+  name: string;           // verb-first kebab-case, e.g. "solve-issue"
+  description: string;    // one-line summary
+  roles: string[];        // ordered role names, e.g. ["planner", "coder", "reviewer"]
+};
+\`\`\`
+
+## WorkflowRun
+
+The main function that creates and returns a moderator:
+
+\`\`\`typescript
+type WorkflowRun = (ctx: WorkflowContext) => Moderator;
+\`\`\`
+
+The **Moderator** controls the flow — it decides which role runs next, handles retries, and determines when the workflow is complete.
+
+## Role Definition
+
+Each role has:
+
+| Field | Type | Purpose |
+|-------|------|---------|
+| \`description\` | string | What the role does |
+| \`systemPrompt\` | string | System prompt for the agent |
+| \`extractPrompt\` | string | Instruction for extracting structured meta |
+| \`schema\` | ZodSchema | Validates the extracted meta |
+| \`extractRefs\` | fn or null | Extracts CAS hashes from meta for DAG linking |
+
+## Development Workflow
+
+\`\`\`bash
+# 1. Initialize a workspace
+uncaged-workflow init workspace my-workflow
+
+# 2. Write your template (roles + moderator + descriptor)
+
+# 3. Build the ESM bundle
+bun run build
+
+# 4. Register locally
+uncaged-workflow workflow add my-workflow ./dist/my-workflow.esm.js
+
+# 5. Test
+uncaged-workflow run my-workflow --prompt "test task"
+uncaged-workflow live --latest
+\`\`\`
+
+## Versioning
+
+Bundles are immutable and identified by XXH64 hash. Re-registering a workflow with a new bundle creates a new version. Use \`workflow history\` and \`workflow rollback\` to manage versions.

+# @uncaged/workflow-agent-cursor
+
+`AgentFn` adapter that runs the `cursor-agent` CLI against a workspace path derived from the thread.
+
+The agent builds a full prompt (system + task + step history via `@uncaged/workflow-util-agent`), extracts the absolute workspace path with your `extract` + Zod schema, then spawns `cursor-agent` with `--workspace`, model, and non-interactive flags.
+
+## Install
+
+```bash
+bun add @uncaged/workflow-agent-cursor @uncaged/workflow-runtime @uncaged/workflow-util-agent zod
+```
+
+In this monorepo: `"@uncaged/workflow-agent-cursor": "workspace:*"` plus `workspace:*` for `@uncaged/workflow-runtime` and `@uncaged/workflow-util-agent`, and `zod` ^4.
+
+## Usage
+
+```typescript
+import { createCursorAgent } from "@uncaged/workflow-agent-cursor";
+
+const agent = createCursorAgent({
+  model: null, // null → "auto"
+  timeout: 0, // ms; 0 = no limit (spawnCli timeout disabled)
+  extract: myExtractFn,
+});
+```
+
+## API overview
+
+| Export | Description |
+|--------|-------------|
+| `createCursorAgent(config)` | Returns `AgentFn` that runs `cursor-agent` with `buildAgentPrompt(ctx)` from `@uncaged/workflow-util-agent` |
+| `CursorAgentConfig` | `model`, `timeout`, `extract` (must supply workspace path) |
+| `validateCursorAgentConfig` | Config validation result |
+
+Requires `cursor-agent` on `PATH` at runtime.
