How do I track progress across different milestones?

The skill manages a PROJECT_STATE.md file and uses specific naming conventions for docs/[milestone]-[task] files to provide a clear overview of project health and progress.

What are the three stages of the dev workflow?

The workflow consists of Stage 1: Design (problem analysis and solution design), Stage 2: Planning (step-by-step task breakdown), and Stage 3: Execution (implementation and testing).

Why is Stage 1 a 'no-code zone'?

Stage 1 focuses on high-level architecture, conceptual patterns, and signatures to ensure the solution is fundamentally sound before implementation details are introduced.

Does this skill support multi-agent collaboration?

Yes, it includes spawn commands to delegate specific stages to background agents, such as /spawn-dev-designer for Stage 1 or /spawn-dev-executor for Stage 3.

How does the skill handle failed tests during execution?

The execution stage includes a mandatory 'loop until tests pass' rule, ensuring the agent fixes and re-tests code until it meets the predefined acceptance criteria.

Productividad y Flujo de Trabajo

Implements a rigorous three-stage software development lifecycle—Design, Planning, and Execution—to ensure production-grade code quality and documentation.

The dev skill transforms Claude into a disciplined software architect and engineer by enforcing a structured 3-stage workflow for every task. By separating work into Design (analysis), Planning (step-by-step breakdown), and Execution (implementation with mandatory tests), it ensures that technical decisions are validated before code is written. This skill is particularly effective for complex feature development, refactoring, and bug fixes where maintaining a clear audit trail and high architectural standards is essential. It includes built-in support for project state tracking, milestone management, and background subagent spawning for parallelized development tasks.

Características Principales

013-Stage Lifecycle: Enforces a strict Design-Plan-Execute workflow for every development task.

02No-Code Design Phase: Prevents premature implementation by focusing on conceptual patterns and signatures first.

03Test-Driven Execution: Requires passing tests for every implementation step before moving to the next phase.

04Project State Tracking: Maintains a centralized PROJECT_STATE.md to track milestone progress and system health.

05Background Subagents: Supports spawning dedicated agents for specialized design, planning, and execution tasks.
