+# Phase 31-01: Workflow Proposal Infrastructure Summary
+
+**WorkflowProposal types, buildProposalPrompt function, and /api/quickstart/propose endpoint for reviewable workflow structure before JSON generation**
+
+## Performance
+
+- **Duration:** 12 min
+- **Started:** 2026-01-26T15:00:00Z
+- **Completed:** 2026-01-26T15:12:00Z
+- **Tasks:** 3
+- **Files modified:** 3
+
+## Accomplishments
+- WorkflowProposal types enable reviewable structure with purpose descriptions
+- buildProposalPrompt generates LLM prompt focused on human-readable descriptions
+- /api/quickstart/propose endpoint returns structured proposals for user review
+
+## Task Commits
+
+Each task was committed atomically:
+
+1. **Task 1: Define WorkflowProposal types** - `602130a` (feat)
+2. **Task 2: Create proposal generation prompt** - `0e42a7d` (feat)
+3. **Task 3: Create /api/quickstart/propose endpoint** - `c9b887b` (feat)
+
+**Plan metadata:** TBD (docs: complete plan)
+
+## Files Created/Modified
+- `src/types/quickstart.ts` - Added ProposedNode, ProposedConnection, ProposedGroup, WorkflowProposal types
+- `src/lib/quickstart/proposalPrompt.ts` - buildProposalPrompt function for proposal generation
+- `src/app/api/quickstart/propose/route.ts` - POST endpoint for generating workflow proposals
+
+## Decisions Made
+- **Proposal types focus on purpose**: Unlike full workflow JSON, proposals emphasize human-readable descriptions for each node and connection. No positions, no internal state.
+- **Reuse validation utilities**: parseJSONFromResponse already handles markdown extraction and error recovery.
+- **Shape validation before return**: The endpoint validates that LLM output matches expected structure to fail fast on malformed responses.
+
+## Deviations from Plan
+
+None - plan executed exactly as written
+
+## Issues Encountered
+None
+
+## Next Phase Readiness
+- Proposal endpoint is ready for ProposalReviewView UI integration (Plan 02)
+- Types are exported and can be imported by components
+- Endpoint tested via build verification
