examples of proper usage.

## Trigger Types
Agent menu triggers use two different invocation types. Knowing which type a trigger uses helps you provide the right input.
### Workflow triggers (no arguments needed)
Most triggers load a structured workflow file. Type the trigger code and the agent starts the workflow, prompting you for input at each step.
Examples: `CP` (Create PRD), `DS` (Dev Story), `CA` (Create Architecture), `QS` (Quick Spec)
### Conversational triggers (arguments required)
Some triggers start a free-form conversation instead of a structured workflow. These expect you to describe what you need alongside the trigger code.
| Agent | Trigger | What to provide |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Technical Writer (Paige) | `WD` | Description of the document to write |
| Technical Writer (Paige) | `US` | Preferences or conventions to add to standards |
| Technical Writer (Paige) | `MG` | Diagram description and type (sequence, flowchart, etc.) |
| Technical Writer (Paige) | `VD` | Document to validate and focus areas |
| Technical Writer (Paige) | `EC` | Concept name to explain |
**Example:**
```text
WD Write a deployment guide for our Docker setup
MG Create a sequence diagram showing the auth flow
EC Explain how the module system works
```
