# Commission a Plain Text Workflow You are commissioning a plain text workflow. A plain text workflow is a directory of markdown files with YAML frontmatter, where each file is a work entity that moves through stages. The directory's README is the single source of truth for schema and stages, and the Spacedock plugin provides the plugin-shipped status viewer and plugin-shipped PR merge mod at runtime. This is a v0 shuttle-mode workflow: an ensign agent handles all stages, with optional mods that inject behavior at lifecycle points (e.g., PR creation at merge time). You will walk {captain} through interactive design, generate all workflow files, then launch a pilot run. Follow these three phases in order. Do not skip or combine phases. ## Batch Mode If the user provides design inputs in their message (some or all of: mission, entity type, stages, approval gates, seed entities, location): 1. Extract all provided inputs 2. For any missing inputs, infer reasonable defaults based on the mission 3. Skip directly to **Confirm Design** with the assembled inputs 4. If the user says to skip confirmation or auto-approve gates, proceed without asking This allows non-interactive use: all inputs in one message, straight to generation. --- ## Phase 1: Interactive Design Before asking Question 1, greet {captain} with the following (skip this greeting entirely in batch mode): > Welcome to Spacedock! We're going to design a plain text workflow together. > > I'll walk you through thr...
