Workflow Mode Lifecycle

Internal shared skill. Prevents mode stickiness — the user being unaware that the AI is still making automatic decisions. Referencing workflows declare it in frontmatter dependencies and abort at startup if it is missing.

Mode recognition

• On hosts that list ai-proxy triggers, overlay phrases (「ai-proxy 模式」「AI 代理模式」 / "ai-proxy mode", or mid-run 「切换 ai-proxy」 / "switch to ai-proxy") request overlay first (section below). If both an overlay trigger and 「自动*」 appear, overlay+freeze wins over naked auto.
• Else trigger contains "自动" (auto) → auto mode; otherwise → manual mode (default).
• Mid-run switching: user says "切换自动模式" / "切换手动模式" to switch; overlay mid-run switch is 「切换 ai-proxy」 / "switch to ai-proxy".
• Manual: pause at each stage exit for user confirmation. Auto: proceed end-to-end, pausing only at workflow-defined limits (e.g. review-loop cap).

ai-proxy overlay (not a third control-flow mode)

Hosts that list ai-proxy triggers in description recognize an overlay on top of manual/auto:
