SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Structured discipline for CoBuilder workers by bundling four complementary development powers into a single, reusable workflow, reducing defects and speeding delivery.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Test-Driven Development (RED-GREEN-REFACTOR): ensures tests guide implementation and prevents feature drift.
  • Systematic Debugging: a structured seven-step protocol to diagnose and fix failures efficiently.
  • Verification Before Completion: mandatory checks that all tests pass, scope is respected, and artifacts are ready for review.
  • Brainstorming: structured evaluation of approaches to select simple, robust solutions.

Use cases include guiding end-to-end task execution, triage when tests fail in CI, and enforcing evidence-backed completion criteria.

Quick Start

Load this skill at the start of any worker task using Skill("worker-superpowers").

FAQPage Schema
How do I enforce test-driven development and verification before completion in CoBuilder pipelines?

You can enforce test-driven development and verification in CoBuilder pipelines by loading a skill that bundles RED-GREEN-REFACTOR testing protocols and mandatory completion checks. This ensures tests guide implementation, scope is respected, and all artifacts are ready for review before a task finishes.

What is the best way to systematically debug failures and perform root-cause analysis during software construction?

Systematic debugging for root-cause analysis is best handled through a structured seven-step protocol that diagnoses and fixes failures efficiently. This approach prevents superficial patches by enforcing evidence-backed completion criteria and structured guidance throughout complex worker workflows.

Can I use structured brainstorming to evaluate approaches and select robust solutions for complex worker tasks?

Yes, you can use structured brainstorming to evaluate multiple approaches and select simple, robust solutions for complex worker tasks. It provides a framework for thoughtful planning that complements test-driven development and systematic debugging within CoBuilder pipelines.

Does worker-superpowers work without external dependencies for triage when tests fail in CI?

Worker-superpowers operates without external dependencies, making it immediately available for CI test failure triage. It applies systematic debugging and verification protocols directly to any worker task to diagnose root causes and confirm all tests pass before completion.

How do I start applying these four development powers to an end-to-end task execution workflow?

To start applying the four development powers to end-to-end task execution, load the skill at the beginning of any worker task. This activates structured guidance, checklists, and evidence-backed completion criteria to ensure high-quality outcomes across the entire workflow.
