What problem does it solve? Code changes made without structure lead to skipped tests, unreviewed plans, and untracked decisions. This Skill routes every code modification through a disciplined pipeline — understand, plan, test, implement, quality check, verify, commit — so nothing ships without evidence. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Phased TDD Pipeline: Runs an 8-phase workflow (understand → plan → test → implement → quality → verify → commit → bridge) with hard gates between phases and mandatory user plan approval. - Adaptive Rigor Scaling: Auto-detects task complexity via a risk-scored rigor assessment, selecting nano, fast, bugfix, refactor, feature, security, or hotfix workflow chains. - Quality Gates & Recovery: Coordinates staged preflight, security, review, and completion-gate checks with remediation cycle caps, loop detection, and an approach-pivot escalation chain. - Use Case: Ask the agent to add a payment retry feature; it scouts the codebase, drafts an approved plan, writes a failing test, implements the minimal fix, runs security and review gates, then commits with a semantic message. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to implement a new feature or fix a bug, and it will route the request through the full cook pipeline starting with codebase understanding and an approval-gated plan.
