What is the Iron Law of Delegation?

The Iron Law of Delegation is a non-negotiable rule within this skill stating that the main chat must never write code directly. Instead, it must spawn a Task agent to handle all file edits and implementations.

How does Dev Delegate ensure code quality?

It utilizes a two-stage review process: first, a Spec Reviewer verifies the implementation matches requirements; second, a Quality Reviewer checks for logic errors, style, and regressions.

Does this skill require Test-Driven Development?

Yes, Dev Delegate mandates the TDD protocol. Subagents are required to write a failing test (RED) before writing any functional code (GREEN) to pass that test.

Can I use Dev Delegate for simple bug fixes?

Yes, even small changes must go through the delegation loop to ensure that tests are run and the fix doesn't introduce regressions, maintaining high project integrity.

Productivity & Workflow

Orchestrates complex software implementations by managing specialized subagents with mandatory TDD enforcement and multi-stage review cycles.

Dev Delegate is a robust workflow management skill designed for the Claude Code environment that enforces a rigorous 'Iron Law of Delegation.' It prevents the main chat session from writing code directly, instead acting as a central command that dispatches implementation subagents to handle tasks. By integrating Test-Driven Development (TDD) protocols and a mandatory two-stage review process—covering both specification compliance and code quality—it ensures that every code change is verified, tested, and high-quality while maintaining a clean context for the developer.
