Workflow Skills

The full 8-step workflow — intent, brain dump, PRD, phased plan, guardrails, TDD cycle, PRD update. Run this at the start of every task.

Capture clear intent before any planning begins. Two steps: write the intent statement, then brain-dump requirements.

Break work into 2–4 independently testable phases. Each phase has a single objective, concrete tasks, and a clear deliverable.

Pre-implementation checklist — PRD confirmed, conventions understood, test file created and failing before any code is written.

Stress-test a plan or design before committing. AI interviews you relentlessly, walking each branch of the decision tree with a recommended answer.

Language-agnostic rules for writing good tests — AAA pattern, test types, naming conventions, mocking guidelines, coverage goals.

Creating and maintaining the living PRD. Covers lifecycle, AI agent update instructions, and the PRD as shared memory across sessions.

The full TDD cycle: write test → RED → implement → GREEN → refactor → update PRD. Language-agnostic with multi-stack run commands.
