- PAW enables **Context-Driven Development**: agents build understanding through durable artifacts (specs, research, plans) before writing code.
- PAW supports two workflows: implementation and review.
- Workflow **stages** are top-level milestones; implementation **phases** are subdivisions inside `ImplementationPlan.md`.
- If the user also asks how to get started, tailor the answer by platform:
- **GitHub Copilot CLI**: install via `copilot plugin install lossyrob/phased-agent-workflow` or `npx @paw-workflow/cli install copilot`, then start with `copilot --agent PAW` (or `/agent PAW` in an existing session).
- **VS Code**: install the extension, then run `PAW: New PAW Workflow`.

{{#cli}}

Since the user will be using a skill that requires an installation, it makes less sense to have install guidance here. Just have the workflow init guidance. Right for vscode, for cli it should be selecting the PAW custom agent and typing, "start a new paw workflow" or something like that

Done in 74ca643. Removed the install guidance and updated both blocks to workflow init only:

  • CLI: "Select the PAW custom agent (copilot --agent PAW or /agent PAW) and say 'start a new PAW workflow'."
  • VS Code: "Run PAW: New PAW Workflow."
