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:

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).
