Using Workflows

A workflow is a series of prompts that CodeCompanion sends to the LLM one turn at a time. Combined with tools, a workflow can automate a loop such as editing a file, running the tests and fixing what fails.

Workflows started as a way to bring reflection and planning prompts into the plugin, as described in Issue 242 of The Batch.

Running a Workflow

Open the Action Palette and select a workflow. CodeCompanion ships with one, Code workflow.

NOTE

Workflows can only be started from the Action Palette

To write your own, see workflows in the prompt library and Extending with Agentic Workflows.
