SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the entire software development lifecycle, from initial design and coding to testing, review, and merging, eliminating manual intervention for feature development and bug fixes.

Core Features & Use Cases

Test-Driven Development (TDD): Enforces writing tests before implementation.
Git Worktree Isolation: Develops features in isolated branches to maintain a clean main workspace.
Automated Code Review & CI: Integrates with bots for code review and waits for all CI checks to pass.
Use Case: A user can submit a GitHub issue with a feature request, and this Skill will autonomously handle the design, coding, testing, and pull request process, delivering a ready-to-merge change.

Quick Start

Use the autonomous-dev skill to implement the feature described in the current GitHub issue.

FAQPage Schema

How do I automate GitHub issue implementation from start to finish?▼

Automating GitHub issue implementation requires a tool that handles design, coding, testing, and pull requests. This Skill executes the full lifecycle autonomously, managing everything from test case creation to CI verification and bot review interaction.

What is test-driven development automation in a CI/CD workflow?▼

Test-driven development automation enforces writing tests before implementation within a CI/CD workflow. This Skill mandates TDD practices, creating test cases first and then writing the code to pass them before local verification and PR creation.

Can I use git worktree isolation for automated feature development?▼

Git worktree isolation for automated feature development is fully supported. This Skill develops features in isolated git worktrees to maintain a clean main workspace, automatically cleaning up the worktree after CI checks and E2E testing pass.

Does automated code review integrate with CI checks and bot interactions?▼

Automated code review integrates directly with CI checks and bot interactions. This Skill handles pull request creation, interacts with review bots, and waits for all CI checks to pass before finalizing the development workflow.

What is the best way to run an autonomous development workflow for GitHub issues?▼

The best way to run an autonomous development workflow is using a tool that supports interactive and autonomous modes. This Skill manages the design canvas, writes code, verifies locally, simplifies, commits, and creates PRs automatically based on the GitHub issue.

Are there limitations to automating the software development lifecycle end to end?▼

Automating the software development lifecycle end to end depends on successful CI verification and bot review interactions. Limitations arise if local verification fails or if CI checks do not pass, which halts the autonomous workflow before worktree cleanup.
