# Fest Standalone Workflows
Use a standalone `WORKFLOW.md` when work needs a guided step loop in an ordinary
directory, without setting up a full festival (phases/sequences/tasks).
Thin-start loop:
```text
WORKFLOW.md -> fest next -> do step -> fest workflow advance -> repeat
```
## When to Use This vs. a Full Festival
- **Standalone workflow**: a short, repeatable checklist that can live in any
directory: a code-review checklist, a release-cut runbook, a one-off
investigation. Minimal ceremony, no phases/sequences.
- **Full festival**: multi-phase work that needs planning, sequencing, and
quality gates over an extended effort. Use `fest create festival` instead
(see the `fest-planning` skill).
## Create
Run from the directory that should own the workflow:
```bash
mkdir -p my-workflow && cd my-workflow
fest create workflow my-workflow --steps '{
"title": "My Workflow",
"description": "A lightweight guided loop.",
"steps": [
{
"name": "PLAN",
"goal": "Decide what needs to happen.",
"actions": ["Write the goal.", "List the unknowns."],
"checkpoint": "none"
},
{
"name": "DO",
"goal": "Do the work.",
"actions": ["Make the change.", "Validate it."],
"checkpoint": "verification"
}
]
}'
fest next
```
This scaffolds `WORKFLOW.md`, initializes `.workflow/` runtime state, and
starts a tracked run, so `fest next` works immediately.
`fest workflow create <name>` is an alias of `fest create workflo
