What workflow-patterns does

The skill lays out how to work from plan.md: start with a failing test, follow RED-GREEN-REFACTOR, and complete phases in order. It also covers checks before marking a task complete, target test coverage, and running relevant tests during development.

After each task, update plan.md. Keep each commit to one logical change and leave the code in a working state. Document deviations from the original plan, and do not skip checkpoint verification or approval. Worked examples are in references/details.md.

Install it when your project follows Conductor and you need its workflow and commit guidance. Its instructions are likely unnecessary for tasks outside that process.

What it helps with

  • start a task with a failing test
  • follow development phases in order
  • update plan.md after completing a task
  • record deviations from the original plan
  • check quality gates before marking work complete

Example prompts for the agent

  • Implement the task in `plan.md` using Conductor's TDD workflow.
  • Check this phase checkpoint and list what must pass before proceeding.
  • Finish the task, update `plan.md`, and prepare a separate commit for the logical change.

# Workflow Patterns

Guide for implementing tasks using Conductor's TDD workflow, managing phase checkpoints, handling git commits, and executing the verification protocol that ensures quality throughout implementation.

## When to Use This Skill

- Implementing tasks from a track's plan.md
- Following TDD red-green-refactor cycle
- Completing phase checkpoints
- Managing git commits and notes
- Understanding quality assurance gates
- Handling verification protocols
- Recording progress in plan files

## Detailed patterns and worked examples

Detailed pattern documentation lives in `references/details.md`. Read that file when the navigation tier above is insufficient.

## Best Practices

1. **Never skip RED**: Always write failing tests first
2. **Small commits**: One logical change per commit
3. **Immediate updates**: Update plan.md right after task completion
4. **Wait for approval**: Never skip checkpoint verification
5. **Rich git notes**: Include context that helps future understanding
6. **Coverage discipline**: Don't accept coverage below target
7. **Quality gates**: Check all gates before marking complete
8. **Sequential phases**: Complete phases in order
9. **Document deviations**: Note any changes from original plan
10. **Clean state**: Each commit should leave code in working state
11. **Fast feedback**: Run relevant tests frequently during development
12. **Clear blockers**: Address blockers promptly, don't work around them
