feature-dev

Systematic feature development integrates discovery, codebase exploration, architecture design, implementation, testing, and quality review. It resolves ambiguities through clarifying questions and tracks progress using todo management to ensure repeatable, traceable delivery.

Architecture design and implementation planning begin with deep codebase exploration and asking clarifying questions. This phase defines requirements for guardrails and validation, creating a todo-driven plan that aligns team members and reduces rework.

Code review and testing in an iterative workflow are managed through a phased approach validating implementation against designed guardrails. Todo-driven progress tracking ensures decisions are documented and quality review is repeatable.

Todo-driven progress tracking effectively manages complex codebase understanding by breaking exploration and implementation into traceable steps. It documents decisions and aligns team members across all feature development phases.

The best way to resolve ambiguities before architecture design is applying a structured workflow that prompts clarifying questions during codebase exploration. This risk-aware approach verifies details to reduce miscommunications and rework.

Feature development requires predefined guardrails and validation requirements to ensure robust architecture design and quality review. Establishing these early prevents errors during implementation and testing.
