Workflow Garden
A practical guide to building with AI, without hiding the work.
Workflow Garden explains an issue-driven AI workflow in plain language. Read the guide, inspect real repos, and follow an automated diary built from actual repository activity.
Start here
How write-a-prd, prd-to-plan, and prd-to-issues fit together
The workflow separates idea, plan, and execution issue so each stage stays readable and auditable.

A public educational site that turns an issue-driven AI workflow into something a visitor can understand.
Follow the diary
System Memory revised its workflow guide and agent handbook across 1,564 files
The repository updated its latest snapshot, memory surfaces, and the workflow guide that explains how the agent operates. Four categories of work—content, proof, automation, and configuration—touched the README, CLAUDE instructions, and agent handbook.
The workflow beats
What you need to understand before the tools start sounding useful.
This workflow is easier to follow when each phase answers one clear question: what are we doing, how are we building it, how do we know it works, and what happens when it ships?
02
Build
Build on one ticket branch so the change still has a readable shape.
03
Prove
Treat proof as evidence, not as a polite summary.
04
Ship
Only call it done when deploy, merge, and cleanup all line up.
Tool map
Four lanes, collapsed until you need the detail.
The long homepage columns were doing too much at once. This version keeps the same guidance, but lets visitors open one lane at a time.
Projects
The workflow makes more sense once you can inspect a real repo.
These project pages connect the explanation to real GitHub repos, live URLs, and diary evidence. They answer the practical follow-up question: where has this approach already been used?

Setup path
The workflow, in order, with the details ready when you need them.
Start with a clean repo, turn the work into a plan, ship from a ticket branch, and prove the result before you celebrate. The short version stays visible. The deeper notes sit right underneath it.
- 01
Bootstrap a clean repo
Set the repo rules and make the README useful from the first day.
repo-bootstrapgh repo creategit init -b main - 02
Write the plan in normal language
Turn a rough product idea into a PRD, then slice it into shippable work.

Ship from one ticket branch
Keep the implementation narrow enough that one issue, one branch, and one PR still feel natural.
git checkout -b raj-37-…gh pr creategh pr merge --delete-branch - 04
Require proof before celebration
Run the real browser flow, inspect the screenshots, then decide whether the work actually passes.
