multi-repo-workflow

What problem does it solve?

Coordinating feature work, contract changes, and deployments across multiple microservice repositories can lead to broken contracts, inconsistent branches, and deployment order failures; this Skill provides patterns and rules to synchronize cross-repo changes and deployments.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Shared contract coordination: Update and propagate proto files and event types from a centralized shared-contracts repo before implementing service changes.
• Dependency-ordered implementation: Follow a prescribed repo-by-repo order (shared-contracts → command → query → processor → gateway → controlpanel) to avoid runtime mismatches.
• Coordinated branches and PRs: Enforce consistent feature branch names across repos, generate idempotent feature briefs for secondary repos, and auto-commit briefs when safe.
• Deployment guidance & checks: Provide rollout order examples and repository readiness checks to reduce deployment-related regressions.

Quick Start

Use this skill to create a coordinated feature brief, branch plan, and deployment checklist to implement a new cross-repo feature that touches shared-contracts, command, query, and gateway repositories.
