To stop coding agents from skipping workflow best practices, enforce mandatory skill invocation before any action. This ensures agents follow defined development workflows like TDD and planning, eliminating ad-hoc execution and inconsistent task results.

Yes, this workflow enforcement works with Claude Code, Codex, Copilot CLI, and Gemini CLI. It provides platform-specific tool mappings to ensure skills function correctly and consistently across all supported coding agent environments.

Resolve instruction priority conflicts by applying explicit precedence rules between user instructions, workflow skills, and default system prompts. This eliminates conflicts and ensures user control over the coding agent's execution behavior.

The best way to ensure test-driven development is to require pre-action skill validation for all coding tasks. This mandates invoking the TDD skill before writing code, following a strict design, plan, execute, and verify workflow.

You need workflow governance for coding agent tasks whenever you want to prevent skipped quality checks and ad-hoc work. It applies to every interaction across development, debugging, planning, and review work to ensure consistent best practices.

Coding agents ignore planning steps because they lack mandatory skill enforcement. By requiring applicable skill invocation before taking action, agents are forced to follow the proven design, plan, execute, and verify workflow instead of ad-hoc execution.
