What is the core principle of this skill?

The core principle is 'No work without an issue,' meaning every task must be tracked via a GitHub issue, ensuring complete traceability and documentation for every code change.

Does it support Test-Driven Development (TDD)?

Yes, Step 7 strictly enforces a RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle, requiring failing tests before implementation, along with strict typing and inline documentation.

How does this skill handle large or complex tasks?

The process includes a size check step (Step 3) that identifies if an issue has more than 5 criteria or touches too many areas, triggering an automatic decomposition into smaller sub-issues.

Can I use this skill to work directly on the main branch?

No, the skill enforces strict branch discipline. It requires creating feature or fix branches and will block progress if you attempt to work directly on the main branch.

What happens when the code is ready for review?

The skill performs a comprehensive review based on seven criteria including security, performance, and maintainability, then automatically implements all findings before raising a PR.
