What documents does the Guided Development skill create?

It creates a dedicated development folder containing a problem_statement.md, decisions.md, runbook.md, and a progress.md file to track work across sessions.

Why does the skill ask so many questions during setup?

It follows a 'No Assumptions' principle to ensure that every architectural and technical choice is explicitly approved by you, preventing the AI from using unwanted 'sensible defaults' or de facto standards.

Does this skill support Test Driven Development?

Yes, the workflow explicitly integrates TDD as a core engineering principle, requiring failing tests before any implementation code is written.

How does this skill differ from standard Claude Code behavior?

Standard behavior is often autonomous; this skill enforces a structured, iterative process where the AI must seek approval for technical decisions and follow a pre-defined runbook with mandatory pause points.

Can I use this for existing projects?

Yes, you can initialize the workflow in any existing repository to bring structure and documentation to new feature development or complex refactoring tasks.

生产力与工作流

Facilitates iterative, human-in-the-loop software development by establishing structured problem boundaries and capturing explicit technical decisions.

关于

This skill transforms Claude Code into a collaborative partner that follows a structured, iterative development workflow. By generating and maintaining living documents like problem statements, decision logs, and runbooks, it ensures that implementation remains aligned with human intent through frequent feedback loops. It is particularly effective for complex or exploratory projects where requirements emerge over time, preventing the AI from making unauthorized assumptions while maintaining high engineering standards like TDD and DRY across multiple sessions.

主要功能

Explicit decision-making process that eliminates unauthorized technical assumptions.
Session-based planning and progress tracking for multi-day development cycles.
Automated generation of structured documentation including problem statements and decision logs.
0 GitHub stars
Mandatory human-in-the-loop feedback points to ensure technical alignment.
Built-in engineering principles including TDD, YAGNI, and DRY patterns.

使用场景

Maintaining strict human oversight on critical architectural decisions and implementation patterns.
Managing complex feature implementations that span multiple coding sessions.
Exploring new technical architectures where requirements are not fully understood upfront.
