+
+You are a Source Code Documentation Generator, an expert technical writer specializing in creating clear, comprehensive documentation for source code files. Your primary responsibility is to analyze source files and generate corresponding documentation files that explain the code's purpose, structure, and key components.
+
+Your process for each task:
+
+1. **Scan Source Directory**: Examine all files under ./src recursively, identifying source code files (typically .ts, .tsx, .js, .jsx, .py, etc.)
+
+2. **Check Existing Documentation**: For each source file, check if a corresponding .md file already exists in the docs/ directory with the pattern: `docs/[relative-path-from-src]/[filename].[extension].md`
+
+3. **Determine Update Necessity**: Compare the modification time of the source file with its documentation file. Skip files where documentation is newer than the source file, indicating it's already up-to-date.
+
+4. **Analyze Source Code**: For files requiring documentation, thoroughly analyze:
+   - Main purpose and functionality
+   - Key classes, functions, or components
+   - Important interfaces, types, or data structures
+   - Dependencies and relationships
+   - Notable patterns or architectural decisions
+   - Public APIs and exports
+
+5. **Generate Documentation**: Create well-structured markdown files with:
+   - Clear title indicating the source file path
+   - Brief summary of the file's main purpose
+   - Detailed breakdown of major components
+   - Code examples when helpful for understanding
+   - Notes about dependencies or relationships to other files
+   - Any important implementation details or patterns
+
+6. **Maintain Directory Structure**: Ensure the docs/ directory mirrors the src/ directory structure, creating subdirectories as needed.
+
+7. **Report Progress**: Provide clear feedback about which files were processed, skipped, or encountered issues.
+
+Documentation Style Guidelines:
+- Use clear, concise language accessible to developers
+- Structure content with appropriate headings (##, ###)
+- Include code snippets when they clarify functionality
+- Focus on 'what' and 'why' rather than just 'how'
+- Highlight key architectural decisions or patterns
+- Note any complex logic or algorithms
+- Document public interfaces and their usage
+
+Quality Standards:
+- Ensure accuracy by carefully reading and understanding the source code
+- Make documentation self-contained and understandable without reading the source
+- Keep explanations at an appropriate technical level for the intended audience
+- Use consistent formatting and structure across all documentation files
+
+Error Handling:
+- Skip binary files, generated files, or files that cannot be meaningfully documented
+- Handle permission errors gracefully
+- Report any files that couldn't be processed and why
+- Continue processing other files even if some fail
+
+You will work systematically through the entire src/ directory, ensuring comprehensive documentation coverage while respecting existing up-to-date documentation to avoid unnecessary work.

-# Migration Guide: v0.0.23 → v0.0.24
-
-## What's New
-
-Version 0.0.24 introduces **trigger builder helpers** that dramatically reduce boilerplate when creating custom triggers, plus fixes field name clashing between built-in and external trigger parameters.
-
-## Breaking Changes
-
-**None** - This is a fully backward-compatible release. All existing triggers continue to work exactly as before.
-
-## New Features
-
-### 1. Trigger Builder Helpers
-
-New helper functions eliminate 90% of boilerplate when creating custom triggers:
-
-```bash
-npm update @xtr-dev/payload-automation
-```
-
-```typescript
-// Import the new helpers
-import { 
-  createTrigger, 
-  webhookTrigger, 
-  cronTrigger 
-} from '@xtr-dev/payload-automation/helpers'
-```
-
-### 2. Fixed Field Name Clashing
-
-Built-in trigger parameters now use a JSON backing store to prevent conflicts with custom trigger fields.
-
-## Migration Steps
-
-### Step 1: Update Package
-
-```bash
-npm install @xtr-dev/payload-automation@latest
-# or
-pnpm update @xtr-dev/payload-automation
-```
-
-### Step 2: (Optional) Modernize Custom Triggers
-
-**Your existing triggers will continue to work**, but you can optionally migrate to the cleaner syntax:
-
-#### Before (Still Works)
-```typescript
-const customTrigger = {
-  slug: 'order-webhook',
-  inputs: [
-    {
-      name: 'webhookSecret',
-      type: 'text',
-      required: true,
-      virtual: true,
-      admin: {
-        condition: (_, siblingData) => siblingData?.type === 'order-webhook',
-        description: 'Secret for webhook validation'
-      },
-      hooks: {
-        afterRead: [({ siblingData }) => siblingData?.parameters?.webhookSecret],
-        beforeChange: [({ value, siblingData }) => {
-          if (!siblingData.parameters) siblingData.parameters = {}
-          siblingData.parameters.webhookSecret = value
-          return undefined
-        }]
-      }
-    }
-    // ... more boilerplate
-  ]
-}
-```
-
-#### After (Recommended)
-```typescript
-import { createTrigger } from '@xtr-dev/payload-automation/helpers'
-
-const orderWebhook = createTrigger('order-webhook').parameters({
-  webhookSecret: {
-    type: 'text',
-    required: true,
-    admin: {
-      description: 'Secret for webhook validation'
-    }
-  }
-  // Add more parameters easily
-})
-```
-
-### Step 3: (Optional) Use Preset Builders
-
-For common trigger patterns:
-
-```typescript
-import { webhookTrigger, cronTrigger } from '@xtr-dev/payload-automation/helpers'
-
-// Webhook trigger with built-in path, secret, headers parameters
-const paymentWebhook = webhookTrigger('payment-webhook')
-  .parameter('currency', {
-    type: 'select',
-    options: ['USD', 'EUR', 'GBP']
-  })
-  .build()
-
-// Cron trigger with built-in expression, timezone parameters  
-const dailyReport = cronTrigger('daily-report')
-  .parameter('format', {
-    type: 'select',
-    options: ['pdf', 'csv']
-  })
-  .build()
-```
-
-## Quick Migration Examples
-
-### Simple Trigger Migration
-
-```typescript
-// OLD WAY (still works)
-{
-  slug: 'user-signup',
-  inputs: [/* 20+ lines of boilerplate per field */]
-}
-
-// NEW WAY (recommended)
-import { createTrigger } from '@xtr-dev/payload-automation/helpers'
-
-const userSignup = createTrigger('user-signup').parameters({
-  source: {
-    type: 'select',
-    options: ['web', 'mobile', 'api'],
-    required: true
-  },
-  userType: {
-    type: 'select', 
-    options: ['regular', 'premium'],
-    defaultValue: 'regular'
-  }
-})
-```
-
-### Webhook Trigger Migration
-
-```typescript
-// OLD WAY
-{
-  slug: 'payment-webhook',
-  inputs: [/* Manual webhookPath field + lots of boilerplate */]
-}
-
-// NEW WAY  
-import { webhookTrigger } from '@xtr-dev/payload-automation/helpers'
-
-const paymentWebhook = webhookTrigger('payment-webhook')
-  .parameter('minimumAmount', { 
-    type: 'number', 
-    min: 0 
-  })
-  .build()
-```
-
-## Benefits of Migration
-
-- **90% less code** - Eliminate virtual field boilerplate
-- **No field name conflicts** - Built-in parameters isolated
-- **Better TypeScript support** - Full type inference
-- **Preset patterns** - Common trigger types ready-to-use
-- **Composable API** - Easy to extend and customize
-
-## Compatibility
-
-- ✅ **Existing triggers** continue to work unchanged
-- ✅ **Mix old and new** trigger styles in same config
-- ✅ **No database changes** required
-- ✅ **PayloadCMS field compatibility** maintained
-

+# Migration Guide: v0.0.36 to v0.0.37
+
+## Overview
+
+Version 0.0.37 introduces significant refactoring and cleanup changes focused on simplifying the plugin architecture and removing unused features. This version removes several deprecated components and consolidates trigger handling.
+
+## Breaking Changes
+
+### 1. Removed Components and Files
+
+The following components and modules have been completely removed:
+
+#### Components
+- `TriggerWorkflowButton` - Manual workflow triggering component
+- `WorkflowExecutionStatus` - Workflow execution status display component
+
+#### Plugin Modules  
+- `init-global-hooks.ts` - Global hook initialization (functionality moved to main plugin)
+- `init-step-tasks.ts` - Step task initialization (functionality integrated elsewhere)  
+- `init-webhook.ts` - Webhook initialization (functionality removed)
+- `init-workflow-hooks.ts` - Workflow hook initialization (functionality moved to main plugin)
+
+#### Triggers
+- `webhook-trigger.ts` - Webhook trigger support has been removed
+- `cron-trigger.ts` - Cron/scheduled trigger support has been removed
+- `cron-scheduler.ts` - Cron scheduling system has been removed
+
+#### Tests
+- `webhook-triggers.spec.ts` - Webhook trigger integration tests
+
+### 2. Cron/Scheduled Workflows Removal
+
+Cron trigger functionality has been completely removed from the plugin. If you were using cron triggers in your workflows:
+
+**Migration Path:**
+- Use external scheduling services like GitHub Actions or Vercel Cron
+- Trigger workflows via webhook endpoints from external schedulers
+- Implement custom scheduling in your application using libraries like `node-cron`
+
+**Example with GitHub Actions:**
+```yaml
+name: Trigger Workflow
+on:
+  schedule:
+    - cron: '0 9 * * *' # Daily at 9 AM
+jobs:
+  trigger:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    steps:
+      - name: Trigger Workflow
+        run: |
+          curl -X POST https://your-app.com/api/workflows/trigger/your-workflow-id
+```
+
+### 3. Webhook Trigger Removal
+
+Webhook triggers have been removed. If you were using webhook triggers:
+
+**Migration Path:**
+- Implement custom webhook endpoints in your PayloadCMS application
+- Use collection or global hooks to trigger workflows based on document changes
+- Create manual trigger endpoints using the workflow executor directly
+
+### 4. Architecture Changes
+
+#### ExecutorRegistry Removal
+The `executorRegistry` singleton pattern has been removed. WorkflowExecutor instances are now created on-demand for each execution.
+
+**What this means:**
+- No shared state between workflow executions
+- Each execution is completely independent
+- Better memory management and isolation
+
+#### Hook Registration Consolidation
+Hook registration logic has been consolidated into the main plugin file:
+- Collection hooks are now registered directly in `plugin/index.ts`
+- Global hooks are handled through the new `plugin/global-hook.ts` module
+- Simplified hook management with better TypeScript typing
+
+## Non-Breaking Changes
+
+### 1. Trigger Module Refactoring
+
+Triggers have been reorganized into a dedicated `triggers/` directory with improved modularity:
+
+- `triggers/collection-trigger.ts` - Collection-based triggers
+- `triggers/global-trigger.ts` - Global document triggers  
+- `triggers/index.ts` - Trigger exports
+- `triggers/types.ts` - Trigger type definitions
+
+### 2. Field Helper Improvements
+
+New `triggerField` helper function standardizes virtual field creation across all trigger modules:
+
+```typescript
+// Before (manual virtual field creation)
+{
+  name: '__builtin_collection',
+  type: 'text',
+  admin: { hidden: true },
+  virtual: true,
+  access: { read: () => false, update: () => false }
+}
+
+// After (using helper)
+triggerField('collection', {
+  type: 'text',
+  // helper handles virtual field setup automatically
+})
+```
+
+### 3. TypeScript Improvements
+
+- Replaced 'any' types with proper TypeScript types
+- Added `CollectionAfterChangeHook` and `PayloadRequest` type usage
+- Improved type safety throughout the codebase
+
+### 4. Code Organization
+
+#### New File Structure
+```
+src/
+├── plugin/
+│   ├── collection-hook.ts    # Collection hook logic
+│   ├── global-hook.ts        # Global hook logic (new)
+│   └── index.ts             # Main plugin (consolidated)
+├── triggers/                 # Trigger modules (new directory)
+├── fields/
+│   └── parameter.ts         # Moved from triggers/helpers.ts
+```
+
+#### ESLint Configuration
+- Disabled `perfectionist/sort-object-types` and `perfectionist/sort-objects` rules
+- Allows natural object property ordering without enforced alphabetical sorting
+
+## Migration Steps
+
+### 1. Update Imports
+
+If you were importing removed components or modules, remove these imports:
+
+```typescript
+// Remove these imports - no longer available
+import { TriggerWorkflowButton } from '@xtr-dev/payload-automation/client'
+import { WorkflowExecutionStatus } from '@xtr-dev/payload-automation/client'
+```
+
+### 2. Update Workflow Configurations
+
+If your workflows used cron or webhook triggers, you'll need to modify them:
+
+**Before:**
+```javascript
+{
+  trigger: {
+    type: 'cron',
+    schedule: '0 9 * * *'
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**After:**
+```javascript
+{
+  trigger: {
+    type: 'collection', // Use collection or global triggers instead
+    collection: 'your-collection',
+    operation: 'create'
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Replace Webhook Functionality
+
+If you were using webhook triggers, implement custom webhook handling:
+
+```typescript
+// In your PayloadCMS config
+export default buildConfig({
+  endpoints: [
+    {
+      path: '/trigger-workflow/:workflowId',
+      method: 'post',
+      handler: async (req) => {
+        const { workflowId } = req.params
+        // Implement your workflow triggering logic here
+        // Use the WorkflowExecutor directly if needed
+      }
+    }
+  ]
+})
+```
+
+### 4. Update Custom Components
+
+If you built custom components using the removed ones as reference, update them to work with the new architecture.
+
+## Benefits of This Release
+
+1. **Simplified Architecture**: Consolidated plugin initialization reduces complexity
+2. **Better Memory Management**: On-demand executor creation eliminates shared state issues  
+3. **Improved Type Safety**: Proper TypeScript typing throughout
+4. **Reduced Bundle Size**: Removal of unused code reduces package size
+5. **Better Maintainability**: Cleaner code organization and module structure
+6. **More Reliable**: External scheduling is more robust than in-process cron jobs
+
+## Testing Your Migration
+
+After migrating:
+
+1. **Test Existing Workflows**: Ensure collection and global triggers still work as expected
+2. **Verify External Triggers**: Test any external webhook or scheduling implementations
+3. **Check Custom Components**: Validate any custom UI components that interact with workflows
+4. **Run Integration Tests**: Execute your test suite to catch any breaking changes
+
+## Support
+
+If you encounter issues migrating from v0.0.36 to v0.0.37:
+
+1. Check that you're not using any of the removed components or features
+2. Verify your workflow trigger types are supported (collection, global, manual)
+3. Update any custom integrations that relied on removed modules
+4. Consider the external scheduling alternatives for cron functionality
+
+For additional support, please refer to the plugin documentation or open an issue in the project repository.

-# Steps and Triggers Not Implementing
-
-This document lists workflow steps and triggers that are intentionally **not** being implemented in the core plugin. These are either better suited as custom user implementations or fall outside the plugin's scope.
-
-## Steps Not Implementing
-
-### Workflow Orchestration
-- **Stop Workflow** - Can be achieved through conditional logic
-- **Run Workflow** - Adds complexity to execution tracking and circular dependency management
-- **Parallel Fork/Join** - Current dependency system already enables parallel execution
-
-### External Service Integrations
-- **GraphQL Query** - Better as custom HTTP request step
-- **S3/Cloud Storage** - Too provider-specific
-- **Message Queue** (Kafka, RabbitMQ, SQS) - Infrastructure-specific
-- **SMS** (Twilio, etc.) - Requires external accounts
-- **Push Notifications** - Platform-specific implementation
-- **Slack/Discord/Teams** - Better as custom HTTP webhooks
-- **Calendar Integration** - Too many providers to support
-
-### AI/ML Operations
-- **AI Prompt** (OpenAI, Claude, etc.) - Requires API keys, better as custom implementation
-- **Text Analysis** - Too many variations and providers
-- **Image Processing** - Better handled by dedicated services
-
-### Specialized Data Operations
-- **Database Query** (Direct SQL/NoSQL) - Security concerns, bypasses Payload
-- **File Operations** - Complex permission and security implications
-- **Hash/Encrypt** - Security-sensitive, needs careful implementation
-- **RSS/Feed Processing** - Too specific for core plugin
-
-## Triggers Not Implementing
-
-### Workflow Events
-- **Workflow Complete/Failed** - Adds circular dependency complexity
-- **Step Failed** - Complicates error handling flow
-
-### System Events
-- **File Upload** - Can use collection hooks on media collections
-- **User Authentication** (Login/Logout) - Security implications
-- **Server Start/Stop** - Lifecycle management complexity
-- **Cache Clear** - Too implementation-specific
-- **Migration/Backup Events** - Infrastructure-specific
-
-### External Monitoring
-- **Email Received** (IMAP/POP3) - Requires mail server setup
-- **Git Webhooks** - Better as standard webhook triggers
-- **Performance Alerts** - Requires monitoring infrastructure
-- **Error Events** - Better handled by dedicated error tracking
-
-### Advanced Time-Based
-- **Recurring Patterns** (e.g., "every 2nd Tuesday") - Complex parsing and timezone handling
-- **Date Range Triggers** - Can be achieved with conditional logic in workflows
-
-## Why These Aren't Core Features
-
-1. **Maintainability**: Each external integration requires ongoing maintenance as APIs change
-2. **Security**: Many features have security implications that are better handled by users who understand their specific requirements
-3. **Flexibility**: Users can implement these as custom steps/triggers tailored to their needs
-4. **Scope**: The plugin focuses on being a solid workflow engine, not an everything-integration platform
-5. **Dependencies**: Avoiding external service dependencies keeps the plugin lightweight
-
-## What Users Can Do Instead
-
-- Implement custom steps using the plugin's TaskConfig interface
-- Use HTTP Request step for most external integrations  
-- Create custom triggers through Payload hooks
-- Build specialized workflow packages on top of this plugin

+## Environment Variables
+
+Control plugin logging with these environment variables:
+
+### `PAYLOAD_AUTOMATION_LOG_LEVEL`
+Controls both configuration-time and runtime logging. 
+- **Values**: `silent`, `error`, `warn`, `info`, `debug`, `trace`
+- **Default**: `warn`
+- **Example**: `PAYLOAD_AUTOMATION_LOG_LEVEL=debug`
+
+### `PAYLOAD_AUTOMATION_CONFIG_LOG_LEVEL` (optional)
+Override log level specifically for configuration-time logs (plugin setup).
+- **Values**: Same as above
+- **Default**: Falls back to `PAYLOAD_AUTOMATION_LOG_LEVEL` or `warn`
+- **Example**: `PAYLOAD_AUTOMATION_CONFIG_LOG_LEVEL=silent`
+
+### Production Usage
+For production, keep the default (`warn`) or use `error` or `silent`:
+```bash
+PAYLOAD_AUTOMATION_LOG_LEVEL=error npm start
+```
+
+### Development Usage
+For debugging, use `debug` or `info`:
+```bash
+PAYLOAD_AUTOMATION_LOG_LEVEL=debug npm run dev
+```
+
+## Scheduled Workflows
+
+For scheduled workflows, use **webhook triggers** with external cron services instead of built-in cron triggers:
+
+### GitHub Actions (Free)
+```yaml
+# .github/workflows/daily-report.yml
+on:
+  schedule:
+    - cron: '0 9 * * *'  # Daily at 9 AM UTC
+jobs:
+  trigger-workflow:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    steps:
+      - run: curl -X POST https://your-app.com/api/workflows-webhook/daily-report
+```
+
+### Vercel Cron (Serverless)
+```js
+// api/cron/daily.js
+export default async function handler(req, res) {
+  await fetch('https://your-app.com/api/workflows-webhook/daily-report', {
+    method: 'POST',
+    headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
+    body: JSON.stringify({ source: 'vercel-cron' })
+  });
+  res.status(200).json({ success: true });
+}
+```
+
+**Benefits**: Better reliability, proper process isolation, easier debugging, and leverages existing infrastructure.

-# Trigger Builder Examples
-
-The new trigger builder API dramatically reduces boilerplate when creating custom triggers.
-
-## Before vs After
-
-### Before (Manual Approach)
-```typescript
-const customTrigger = {
-  slug: 'order-webhook',
-  inputs: [
-    {
-      name: 'webhookSecret',
-      type: 'text',
-      required: true,
-      virtual: true,
-      admin: {
-        condition: (_, siblingData) => siblingData?.type === 'order-webhook',
-        description: 'Secret for webhook validation'
-      },
-      hooks: {
-        afterRead: [({ siblingData }) => siblingData?.parameters?.webhookSecret],
-        beforeChange: [({ value, siblingData }) => {
-          if (!siblingData.parameters) siblingData.parameters = {}
-          siblingData.parameters.webhookSecret = value
-          return undefined
-        }]
-      }
-    },
-    {
-      name: 'orderStatuses',
-      type: 'select',
-      hasMany: true,
-      options: ['pending', 'processing', 'completed'],
-      defaultValue: ['completed'],
-      virtual: true,
-      admin: {
-        condition: (_, siblingData) => siblingData?.type === 'order-webhook',
-        description: 'Order statuses that trigger the workflow'
-      },
-      hooks: {
-        afterRead: [({ siblingData }) => siblingData?.parameters?.orderStatuses || ['completed']],
-        beforeChange: [({ value, siblingData }) => {
-          if (!siblingData.parameters) siblingData.parameters = {}
-          siblingData.parameters.orderStatuses = value
-          return undefined
-        }]
-      }
-    }
-    // ... imagine more fields with similar boilerplate
-  ]
-}
-```
-
-### After (Builder Approach)
-```typescript
-import { createTrigger } from '@xtr-dev/payload-automation/helpers'
-
-const orderWebhook = createTrigger('order-webhook').parameters({
-  webhookSecret: {
-    type: 'text',
-    required: true,
-    admin: {
-      description: 'Secret for webhook validation'
-    }
-  },
-  orderStatuses: {
-    type: 'select',
-    hasMany: true,
-    options: ['pending', 'processing', 'completed'],
-    defaultValue: ['completed'],
-    admin: {
-      description: 'Order statuses that trigger the workflow'
-    }
-  }
-})
-```
-
-## Built-in Trigger Presets
-
-### Webhook Trigger
-```typescript
-import { webhookTrigger } from '@xtr-dev/payload-automation/helpers'
-
-const paymentWebhook = webhookTrigger('payment-webhook')
-  .parameter('currency', {
-    type: 'select',
-    options: ['USD', 'EUR', 'GBP'],
-    defaultValue: 'USD'
-  })
-  .build()
-```
-
-### Scheduled/Cron Trigger
-```typescript
-import { cronTrigger } from '@xtr-dev/payload-automation/helpers'
-
-const dailyReport = cronTrigger('daily-report')
-  .parameter('reportFormat', {
-    type: 'select',
-    options: ['pdf', 'csv', 'json'],
-    defaultValue: 'pdf'
-  })
-  .build()
-```
-
-### Manual Trigger (No Parameters)
-```typescript
-import { manualTrigger } from '@xtr-dev/payload-automation/helpers'
-
-const backupTrigger = manualTrigger('manual-backup')
-```
-
-## Advanced Usage
-
-### Extending Common Parameters
-```typescript
-import { createAdvancedTrigger, webhookParameters } from '@xtr-dev/payload-automation/helpers'
-
-const advancedWebhook = createAdvancedTrigger('advanced-webhook')
-  .extend(webhookParameters) // Includes path, secret, headers
-  .parameter('retryAttempts', {
-    type: 'number',
-    min: 0,
-    max: 5,
-    defaultValue: 3
-  })
-  .parameter('timeout', {
-    type: 'number',
-    min: 1000,
-    max: 30000,
-    defaultValue: 5000,
-    admin: {
-      description: 'Timeout in milliseconds'
-    }
-  })
-  .build()
-```
-
-### Custom Validation
-```typescript
-const validatedTrigger = createTrigger('validated-trigger').parameters({
-  email: {
-    type: 'email',
-    required: true,
-    validate: (value) => {
-      if (value?.endsWith('@spam.com')) {
-        return 'Spam domains not allowed'
-      }
-      return true
-    }
-  },
-  webhookUrl: {
-    type: 'text',

-    validate: (value) => {
-      try {

-## Usage in Plugin Configuration
-
-```typescript
-import { workflowsPlugin } from '@xtr-dev/payload-automation'
-import { 
-  createTrigger, 
-  webhookTrigger, 
-  cronTrigger 
-} from '@xtr-dev/payload-automation/helpers'
-
-export default buildConfig({
-  plugins: [
-    workflowsPlugin({
-      triggers: [
-        // Mix different trigger types
-        createTrigger('user-signup').parameters({
-          source: {
-            type: 'select',
-            options: ['web', 'mobile', 'api'],
-            required: true
-          }
-        }),
-        
-        webhookTrigger('payment-received')
-          .parameter('minimumAmount', { type: 'number', min: 0 })
-          .build(),
-          
-        cronTrigger('weekly-cleanup')
-          .parameter('deleteOlderThan', {
-            type: 'number',
-            defaultValue: 30,
-            admin: { description: 'Delete records older than N days' }
-          })
-          .build()
-      ]
-    })
-  ]
-})
-```
-
-## Benefits
-
-- **90% less boilerplate** - No manual hooks, conditions, or virtual field setup
-- **Type safety** - Full TypeScript support
-- **Reusable patterns** - Common trigger types as presets  
-- **Composable** - Mix builders with manual fields

-# PayloadCMS Workflows Plugin Examples
-
-This directory contains example code demonstrating how to use the PayloadCMS Workflows plugin.
-
-## Manual Trigger Example
-
-The `manual-trigger-example.ts` file shows how to:
-- Create a workflow with a manual trigger button in the admin UI
-- Trigger workflows programmatically using custom triggers
-- Access trigger data in workflow steps using JSONPath
-
-### Setting up a Manual Trigger Workflow
-
-1. Configure the plugin with a custom trigger:
-```typescript
-workflowsPlugin({
-  triggers: [
-    {
-      slug: 'manual-trigger',
-      inputs: []  // No inputs needed for simple manual triggers
-    }
-  ],
-  // ... other config
-})
-```
-
-2. Create a workflow with the manual trigger:
-```typescript
-await payload.create({
-  collection: 'workflows',
-  data: {
-    name: 'My Manual Workflow',
-    triggers: [
-      {
-        type: 'manual-trigger'
-      }
-    ],
-    steps: [
-      // Your workflow steps here
-    ]
-  }
-})
-```
-
-3. The workflow will now have a "Trigger Workflow" button in the admin UI
-
-### Triggering Workflows Programmatically
-
-```typescript
-import { triggerCustomWorkflow } from '@xtr-dev/payload-automation'
-
-// Trigger all workflows with 'manual-trigger'
-const results = await triggerCustomWorkflow(payload, {
-  slug: 'manual-trigger',
-  data: {
-    // Custom data to pass to the workflow
-    source: 'api',
-    timestamp: new Date().toISOString()
-  }
-})
-```
-
-### Accessing Trigger Data in Steps
-
-Use JSONPath expressions to access trigger data in your workflow steps:
-- `$.trigger.data.source` - Access custom data fields
-- `$.trigger.type` - The trigger type
-- `$.trigger.triggeredAt` - When the trigger was activated
