recursive-mode

Audited, file-backed software development workflow with durable memory

Turns coding tasks into staged, auditable runs with requirements, planning, TDD implementation, review, and closeout recorded as repository files. Eliminates lost chat context, vague completion claims, and unverified delegated work through enforced audit and lock gates. Feeds validated lessons back into durable memory so future runs start with better context.

Available:

Tells the agent to treat RECURSIVE.md as the single workflow source of truth, recognize short run commands, and enforce the draft-audit-repair-lock cycle with verified delegation.

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQPage Schema
How to install recursive-mode?▼

Run `npx skills add try-works/recursive-mode --all -g -y` in your terminal to install the full skill package globally.

What problem does recursive-mode solve?▼

It replaces fragile chat-based coding sessions with a file-backed workflow where requirements, plans, tests, reviews, and decisions are recorded and locked in the repository. This makes agent work auditable, resumable, and verifiable.

How does recursive-mode handle testing and code review?▼

It enforces strict RED-GREEN-REFACTOR test-driven development with recorded evidence and supports delegated code review through canonical review bundles. Every audited phase must pass a draft-audit-repair-re-audit loop before locking.

Does recursive-mode work with Claude Code and Codex?▼

Yes. It follows the universal SKILL.md standard and includes bridge files for Codex and other agent hosts, so it runs in Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and similar environments.

Can I use recursive-mode without workflow experience?▼

Yes. Simple prompts like 'Implement the plan' or 'Start a recursive run' trigger the workflow, and the agent bootstraps the required scaffold automatically.
