Team Workflow Skill

Enforces a deterministic, phase-gated development workflow with Linear integration and quality enforcement.

Workflow Overview

/team:task ENG-123
    ↓
Phase 0: Setup (fetch issue, update status, create branch)
    ↓
Phase 1: Brainstorm (design thinking, post to Linear)
    ↓
Phase 2: Plan (task breakdown, post to Linear)
    ↓
Phase 3: Execute (TDD for every change)
    ↓
Phase 4: Quality Check (/team:quality-check)
    ↓
Phase 5: Ship (/team:ship → PR + Linear update)

Commands

/team:task $ISSUE_ID

Start work on a Linear issue. Enforces all workflow phases.

/team:quality-check

Run all quality gates. Blocks PR creation on failure.

Gates:

• npm test - ZERO failures
• npm run lint - ZERO errors
• npm run typecheck - ZERO errors
• /code-review - ZERO high-confidence (≥80%) issues

/team:ship

Create PR, update Linear to "In Review", post PR link.

Linear Integration

Uses Linear MCP server for:

• mcp__linear__get_issue - Fetch issue details
• mcp__linear__update_issue - Update status
• mcp__linear__create_comment - Post design/plan/PR links

TDD Requirements

Every change requires tests first:

1. Write failing test
2. Implement minimum code to pass
3. Refactor
4. Run tests

There is NO change too small for TDD.

Quality Gate Zero-Tolerance

All gates must pass with ZERO errors before shipping:

• Tests must all pass
• No lint errors (warnings OK)
• No type errors
• No high-confidence code review issues

Git Workflow

Branch naming: feat/$ISSUE_ID-slugified-title

Commit format:

feat(ENG-123): brief description

- Main change
- Secondary change

Closes ENG-123

Hooks

The plugin includes hooks that:

• Format files on save (Prettier)
• Run tests/lint before push
• Verify quality before stopping

Integration with Superpowers

Phases 1-3 integrate with the Superpowers plugin:

• Brainstorm phase uses Superpowers design thinking
• Plan phase uses Superpowers task breakdown
• Execute phase uses Superpowers TDD enforcement
