What are the core principles of the ref-development-standards skill?

The skill focuses on five key areas: asking the user when uncertain, researching best practices before coding, using specific tools for file operations, avoiding document proliferation, and requiring approval for new dependencies.

When should I activate this skill in my workflow?

You should activate it at the start of any development task, including feature implementation, architectural changes, tool selection, or when creating new documentation.

Does this skill work with other agents?

Yes, it is designed to delegate tasks like deep web research to the 'research-best-practices' agent while maintaining the overall development workflow and standards.

How does this skill improve AI coding results?

By providing a strict framework of rules and tool-usage patterns, it reduces 'creative' hallucinations and prevents the AI from making unauthorized or non-standard changes to a codebase.

Enforces consistent development principles, tool usage patterns, and decision-making workflows to ensure predictable AI-driven coding outputs.

This skill serves as the foundational governance layer for the Plan-Marshall ecosystem, providing a set of standardized rules that ensure Claude follows best practices throughout the software development lifecycle. It guides the AI on critical decision-making points—such as when to consult the user versus proceeding independently—mandates research via specialized agents before implementation, and enforces the use of specific file-manipulation tools over generic bash commands. By centering development around these core standards, the skill minimizes architectural drift, prevents unauthorized dependency bloat, and maintains a high level of project integrity and reliability.
