local-development-workflow

A structured local development workflow organizes coding tasks into sequential stages from planning to verification. You need this end-to-end workflow when tackling local coding tasks and want a stable mainline that prevents skipping steps and reduces context switching.

To organize local coding tasks, follow a defined sequence: plan, search-first, TDD, implement, alignment, local review, verify, and finish. This enforces stage gates with lightweight criteria for review, verification evidence, and finish readiness.

Enforce stage gates by applying a defined sequence with lightweight criteria for local review, verification evidence, and finish readiness. This stable end-to-end workflow ensures each phase produces verifiable evidence before advancing to the next step.

Yes, this TDD workflow operates entirely locally without external dependencies. It enforces a defined sequence with stage gates covering planning, TDD, implementation, alignment, local review, verification, and finish phases for stable local execution.

Skipping the search-first phase disrupts the stable end-to-end mainline designed to reduce missed steps and context switching. The workflow enforces a defined sequence with stage gates, meaning each phase must satisfy lightweight criteria before advancing.

A defined development sequence provides a stable mainline connecting planning, TDD, implementation, and verification with stage gates. Unlike ad-hoc local coding, it ensures alignment, produces verifiable evidence at each phase, and prevents stage confusion.
