 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 — re-exporting from non-index file
+// in engine/engine.ts:
+export { 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

+## 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 help              # Show all commands
+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
+```
+
+See `uncaged-workflow help` for the full command reference.
+
+## Development
+
+```bash
+bun run check    # Biome lint + format check
+bun run format   # Auto-format with Biome
+bun test         # Run tests
+```

+# @uncaged/cli-workflow
+
+Command-line interface for the Uncaged workflow engine (`uncaged-workflow`).
+
+The CLI reads and writes the workflow registry, starts and inspects threads, manages CAS blobs, and prints agent-oriented reference docs via `skill`. It uses the same storage layout as `@uncaged/workflow` (default `~/.uncaged/workflow`).
+
+## Install
+
+```bash
+bun add @uncaged/cli-workflow
+```
+
+In this monorepo: `"@uncaged/cli-workflow": "workspace:*"`. Depends on `"@uncaged/workflow": "workspace:*"`.
+
+## Usage
+
+```bash
+uncaged-workflow workflow list
+uncaged-workflow run <name> --prompt "Your task"
+uncaged-workflow thread show <id>
+uncaged-workflow skill
+```
+
+Invoking the CLI with no command (or from this repo: `bun packages/cli-workflow/src/cli.ts`) prints:

-## Core Concepts
-
-| Concept | Description |
-|---------|-------------|
-| **Workflow** | A single-file ESM bundle (\`.esm.js\`) that exports \`run\` and \`descriptor\`. Identified by name and XXH64 hash. |
-| **Bundle** | The physical \`.esm.js\` file stored in the bundles directory. Immutable once written. |
-| **Thread** | A single execution of a workflow, identified by a ULID. Persists state as JSONL files. |
-| **CAS** | Content-Addressable Storage. Per-thread key-value store keyed by content hash. |
-| **Registry** | \`workflow.yaml\` — maps workflow names to their current and historical bundle hashes. |
-

+|---------|-------------|
+| **Workflow** | A single-file ESM bundle (\`.esm.js\`) that exports \`run\` and \`descriptor\`. Identified by name and XXH64 hash. |
+| **Bundle** | The physical \`.esm.js\` file stored in the bundles directory. Immutable once written. |
+| **Thread** | A single execution of a workflow, identified by a ULID. Persists state as JSONL files. |
+| **CAS** | Content-Addressable Storage. Per-thread key-value store keyed by content hash. |
+| **Registry** | \`workflow.yaml\` — maps workflow names to their current and historical bundle hashes. |
+
+## Commands
+
+${commandSections.join("\n\n")}
+
+### Top-level shortcuts
+
+| Command | Equivalent | Description |
+|---------|------------|-------------|
+| \`run\` | \`thread run\` | Shortcut to start a thread |
+| \`live\` | \`thread live\` | Shortcut to attach to a thread |
+
+## Typical Workflow
+
+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

+| 0 | Success |
+| 1 | Error |
+
+## Environment Variables
+

+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)

+
+## 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 |
+| \`extractMode\` | "single" | Extraction mode |
+
+## 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.

+`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 @uncaged/workflow-util-agent zod
+```
+
+In this monorepo: `"@uncaged/workflow-agent-cursor": "workspace:*"` plus `workspace:*` for `@uncaged/workflow` and `@uncaged/workflow-util-agent`.
+
+## 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)` |
+| `CursorAgentConfig` | `model`, `timeout`, `extract` (must supply workspace path) |
+| `validateCursorAgentConfig` | Config validation result |

+# @uncaged/workflow-template-develop
+
+Reference **develop** workflow template: plan phases, implement in a loop, review, test, then commit.
+
+Export a `WorkflowDefinition` and `createDevelopRun` so a host can bind agents/LLM and run the same graph the bundled `.esm.js` would use. Use `buildDevelopDescriptor()` when assembling `descriptor` metadata for a bundle.
+
+## Install
+
+```bash
+bun add @uncaged/workflow-template-develop @uncaged/workflow zod
+```
+
+In this monorepo: `workspace:*` for `@uncaged/workflow-template-develop` and `@uncaged/workflow`.
+
+## Usage
+
+```typescript
+import { createDevelopRun, developWorkflowDefinition } from "@uncaged/workflow-template-develop";
+
+const run = createDevelopRun(binding, extract, llmProvider);
+// run(...) executes the develop moderator graph with your AgentBinding
+```
+
+## Roles
+
+| Role | Purpose |
+|------|---------|
+| **planner** | Break work into ordered phases (hashes) |
+| **coder** | Implement current phase; repeats until phases complete or limits hit |
+| **reviewer** | Code review gate (`approved` vs send back to coder) |
+| **tester** | Verify via tests/build/lint (`passed` vs send back to coder) |
+| **committer** | Final commit step |
+
+Also exported: role factories/meta schemas (`plannerRole`, `coderRole`, …), `DevelopMeta`, `developRoles`.
+
+## Moderator flow
+
+1. **Start** → `planner`  
+2. After **planner** → `coder`  
+3. After **coder** → if all planned phases are done (or last phase completed) → `reviewer`; else `coder` again, until `maxRounds` then `END`  
+4. After **reviewer** → if approved → `tester`; else `coder` (or `END` if out of rounds)  
+5. After **tester** → if passed → `committer`; else `coder` (or `END` if out of rounds)  
+6. After **committer** → `END`
+
+## API overview
+
+| Export | Description |
+|--------|-------------|
+| `createDevelopRun` | `createWorkflow(developWorkflowDefinition, …)` factory |
+| `developWorkflowDefinition` | `description`, `roles`, `developModerator` |
+| `developModerator` | `Moderator<DevelopMeta>` |
+| `buildDevelopDescriptor` | `buildDescriptor({ … })` for bundle metadata |
+| `DEVELOP_WORKFLOW_DESCRIPTION` | Human-readable one-liner |
