+# Workflow templates
+
+Suggested workflows that show up in the Actions tab when creating a new workflow in any HarperFast repo. Currently this set wires the repo into the centralized AI review chain in [`HarperFast/ai-review-prompts`](https://github.com/HarperFast/ai-review-prompts).
+
+## The Claude AI workflow chain
+
+Four templates form one cohesive system. Adopt them together for a new repo:
+
+| Template | What it does |
+|---|---|
+| `claude-review.yml` | Reviews every PR. Posts inline findings + a concise top-level summary. |
+| `claude-mention.yml` | Responds to `@claude …` in PR / issue comments. Read, edit, commit, push, open PRs. |
+| `claude-issue-to-pr.yml` | Label an issue with `claude-fix:{typo,docs,deps,bug}` → Claude opens a PR with the fix. |
+| `validate-caller-workflows.yml` | Structural lint for the caller files. Catches shadow jobs and mutable refs. Make this a required status check on `main`. |
+
+Each template is a thin caller of a reusable workflow in `HarperFast/ai-review-prompts`. The reusables hold the auth gate, prompt logic, and orchestration scripts; the caller pins to a specific SHA so updates are explicit.
+
+## New-repo onboarding checklist
+
+After dropping the templates into `.github/workflows/`:
+
+1. **Install the `HarperFast AI Workflows` GitHub App on the repo** (org admin action). The auth gate's org-token-mint step uses the App installation token; without it, the `authorize` job fails with a 401. The App needs `Members: Read` on the org and is installed once per consumer repo (or "all repositories" at the org level).
+
+2. **Secrets** (per-repo until org-level lands):
+   - `HARPERFAST_AI_CLIENT_ID`
+   - `HARPERFAST_AI_APP_PRIVATE_KEY`
+   - `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`
+   - `AI_REVIEW_LOG_TOKEN` *(optional — threads each review run into a per-PR issue in `HarperFast/ai-review-log`)*
+
+3. **Labels** (issue-to-PR triggers — exact spellings, lowercase, colon, no trailing space):
+   - `claude-fix:typo`
+   - `claude-fix:docs`
+   - `claude-fix:deps`
+   - `claude-fix:bug`
+
+4. **`.node-version`** at the repo root containing the major Node version (e.g. `24`). The mention + issue-to-PR reusables use `node-version-file:` for `actions/setup-node`.
+
+5. **Branch protection on `main`**: make `validate / validate` a required status check.
+
+6. **`AGENTS.md`** (and a `CLAUDE.md` one-liner pointing at it) at the repo root: the agent reads these for repo-specific conventions. Mirror harper / harper-pro for shape.
+
+7. **Customize the templates**:
+   - `claude-review.yml` — pick the right `review-layers:` for the repo type; fill in `repo-specific-checks:` if there are surface-area concerns the shared layers don't cover.
+   - `claude-mention.yml` / `claude-issue-to-pr.yml` — set `setup-bun: true` for plugin repos that test under bun. Override `pre-commit-validation:` if the repo doesn't have `npm run test:unit` / `format:check`.
+
+## Bumping the pin
+
+The `uses:` ref and the `with.ai-review-prompts-ref` input on each caller pin to the same SHA. Bumping is one motion: change both lines on each of the four files to the new SHA from `HarperFast/ai-review-prompts` `main`. The structural validator (`validate-caller-workflows.yml`) enforces that both refs are 40-char SHAs.
+
+Coordinate pin bumps with the [HarperFast/ai-review-prompts changelog](https://github.com/HarperFast/ai-review-prompts/commits/main).
