Can I manually choose a workflow stage?

Yes, you can use the --stage flag (a, b, or c) to override the auto-detection and force a specific workflow path.

Does this skill perform research on its own?

Yes, it automatically scans your codebase for existing specs, architecture, and relevant code patterns unless the --skip-research flag is provided.

What is the difference between Stage A, B, and C?

Stage A is for complex architectural design and new systems, Stage B is for standard feature development using TDD, and Stage C is for quick, simple fixes and updates.

What happens if my requirement is ambiguous?

The skill will analyze the ambiguity, provide a recommendation (e.g., Stage B), and ask you to select the most appropriate path before proceeding.

How does it track the progress of a workflow?

It creates a state file in .claude/workflow/current.json to monitor the current phase, task list, and timestamps throughout the development lifecycle.

Productivity & Workflow

Orchestrates end-to-end development lifecycles by automatically detecting task complexity and routing to specialized specification, development, or execution stages.

The Development Workflow Orchestrator is a sophisticated meta-skill for Claude Code designed to streamline the software development process. It intelligently analyzes user requirements to determine the appropriate depth of planning needed—ranging from high-level architectural design (Stage A) and TDD-driven feature implementation (Stage B) to rapid bug fixes and minor updates (Stage C). By automating the initial research phase, maintaining state tracking via JSON files, and integrating with testing and task-management plugins, it ensures that every coding task follows a consistent, optimized path from conception to completion without over-engineering simple fixes or under-planning complex systems.
