SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents rushed or ambiguous software delivery by forcing clarification, planning, approval, disciplined implementation, and review before code is merged.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Clarification First: Ask questions about requirements, architecture, constraints, and user flow before implementation begins.
  • Approval-Gated Planning: Break work into small tasks, present a plan, and wait for explicit approval before starting.
  • TDD Implementation: Write tests first, implement to pass them, then refactor while preserving quality.
  • PR and Review Workflow: Use feature branches, open pull requests to main, track work in Trello or similar boards, and respond to reviewer feedback until approval.
  • Use Case: A software team can use this Skill to manage a new feature from vague request to tested code, review sign-off, and merge-ready completion.

Quick Start

Use the task-development-workflow skill to clarify the request, propose a small approved plan, and then guide implementation with TDD, branch-based review, and merge-safe task tracking.

FAQPage Schema
How do I structure a test-driven development workflow for a new feature request?

A test-driven development workflow structures software delivery by forcing requirement clarification, small task planning, and TDD red-green-refactor cycles before opening a pull request. This prevents rushed or ambiguous code by enforcing approval gates and reviewer notifications before merging to main.

What is the best way to enforce code review and branching rules in a software project?

Enforcing code review and branching rules requires a workflow that prohibits direct commits to main and mandates feature branches. This process ensures code is tested via TDD, submitted as a pull request, and only merged after explicit reviewer approval.

Can I use a Trello-style board to track TDD implementation tasks?

Yes, you can use a Trello-style board to track TDD implementation. The workflow supports breaking work into small tasks, tracking them on a board, and updating their status through the feature-branch, pull-request, and merge-safe delivery stages.

How does an approval-gated planning process work for software development?

An approval-gated planning process works by asking clarifying questions about architecture and constraints, breaking the work into a small task plan, and waiting for explicit approval before any test-driven implementation begins.

Why should I clarify requirements before starting TDD implementation?

Clarifying requirements before starting TDD implementation prevents ambiguous software delivery. By asking questions about user flow and constraints upfront, you ensure the test-driven development cycle directly targets approved, well-understood features.

Does the task-development-workflow skill support merge-safe delivery without direct commits to main?

Yes, the task-development-workflow skill supports merge-safe delivery by enforcing no-direct-to-main branching. It requires opening pull requests, responding to reviewer feedback, and passing TDD checks before any code is merged.
