Dev Workflows

Overview

Unify build, test, and DX improvement workflows so they are repeatable and reliable. Focus on safe execution, clear diagnostics, and actionable follow-ups.

When to Use

  • Running builds or resolving build failures
  • Executing tests or analyzing test failures
  • Improving onboarding, tooling, or developer workflows

Avoid when:

  • The task is pure code implementation
  • A full release process is required (use release-prep)

Quick Reference

Task Load reference
Build workflows skills/dev-workflows/references/build.md
Test workflows skills/dev-workflows/references/test.md
DX improvements skills/dev-workflows/references/dx.md

Workflow

  1. Select the workflow type: build, test, or DX.
  2. Load the matching reference file.
  3. Execute with monitoring and capture diagnostics.
  4. Apply fixes or improvements as needed.
  5. Verify outcomes and document next steps.

Output

  • Execution summary (status, errors, next steps)
  • Suggested follow-ups or improvements

Common Mistakes

  • Skipping baseline environment checks
  • Running tests without capturing failing output
  • Changing DX workflows without documenting impact

claude-consult

Consult Claude specialist agents during implementation for codebase understanding, pattern checking, security review, debugging help, and more. Use this skill whenever you're unsure about conventions, stuck on a failure, or need expert input before writing code. Does not replace the formal review gates in agent-loops — this is for mid-implementation consultation.
