4 sections, as written by the authorWorkflow Patterns
Guide for implementing tasks using Conductor's TDD workflow, managing phase checkpoints, handling git commits, and executing the verification protocol that ensures quality throughout implementation.
When to Use This Skill
- Implementing tasks from a track's plan.md
- Following TDD red-green-refactor cycle
- Completing phase checkpoints
- Managing git commits and notes
- Understanding quality assurance gates
- Handling verification protocols
- Recording progress in plan files
Detailed patterns and worked examples
Detailed pattern documentation lives in references/details.md. Read that file when the navigation tier above is insufficient.
Best Practices
- Never skip RED: Always write failing tests first
- Small commits: One logical change per commit
- Immediate updates: Update plan.md right after task completion
- Wait for approval: Never skip checkpoint verification
- Rich git notes: Include context that helps future understanding
- Coverage discipline: Don't accept coverage below target
- Quality gates: Check all gates before marking complete
- Sequential phases: Complete phases in order
- Document deviations: Note any changes from original plan
10. Clean state: Each commit should leave code in working state
11. Fast feedback: Run relevant tests frequently during development
12. Clear blockers: Address blockers promptly, don't work around them
