WORKFLOW.md Configuration ↗
yesSummary: The WORKFLOW.md file format: YAML front matter configuring tracker integration, polling intervals, workspace hooks, and agent settings, followed by a markdown prompt template with issue-field substitution.
Editorial Notes
WORKFLOW.md is Symphony’s equivalent of AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md — a repository-local file that co-locates agent configuration with the codebase it governs. The YAML front matter configures tracker kind (Linear), polling intervals, workspace root, lifecycle hooks, concurrency limits, and agent parameters. The markdown body becomes the agent’s prompt template with issue-field substitution. This pattern of versioning orchestration policy alongside code is worth adopting regardless of whether you use Symphony — it makes agent behavior reviewable, diffable, and rollback-safe.
