[plan] Standardize workflow documentation structure in examples #12470

@github-actions

Description

@github-actions

Objective

Create consistent documentation structure across example workflows based on successful patterns from persona exploration.

Context

From discussion #12461: High-scoring workflows (FE-1, FE-2, DO-1, QA-1) consistently included 3-6 documentation files with standardized structure: README, setup guides, quick reference, and customization guidance.

Approach

  1. Audit existing workflow examples in examples/workflows/ directory

  2. Identify workflows with incomplete documentation (fewer than 3 supporting files)

  3. Create a documentation template based on high-scoring patterns:

    • README.md: Overview, use case, key features
    • SETUP.md: Installation and configuration steps
    • QUICK_REFERENCE.md: Common commands and usage patterns
    • CUSTOMIZATION.md: Framework-specific modifications
    • TESTING.md: How to test the workflow safely
  4. Apply template to 2-3 example workflows that lack comprehensive docs

Files to Modify

  • Create: examples/workflows/DOCUMENTATION_TEMPLATE.md (reference template)
  • Update: Select 2-3 workflows from examples/workflows/ to enhance documentation
    • Candidates: workflows with single-file documentation or minimal README

Acceptance Criteria

  • Template file documents the 5 standard documentation files
  • Template includes content guidelines for each file type
  • 2-3 example workflows updated with enhanced documentation
  • Each updated workflow has at least README, SETUP, and QUICK_REFERENCE
  • Documentation follows emoji and formatting patterns from successful workflows
