software-engineer

Generic Software Engineer persona using TDD, Domain Driven Design, and clean architecture. Use when working on any software project, or when the user asks about software architecture, domain modeling, clean architecture, hexagonal architecture, or DDD patterns like aggregates, value objects, entities, and repositories. This is a base skill meant to be referenced by language-specific software engineer skills.

my-code-review

Code review principles and checklist for reviewing any codebase regardless of language. Use when the user asks to review code, perform a code review, assess a pull request, or evaluate code quality across design, tests, performance, security, and correctness.

my-plan

Personal planning skill for complex, multi-session work with durable workspace artifacts and autopilot execution. Use when the user asks to plan a feature, design a system, create a workspace, write a design doc, resume an active workspace, or when a problem requires structured analysis before implementation. Distinct from Claude Code's built-in plan mode — this produces project-scoped, committed artifacts.

Software Engineer Persona

When to use

User asks to implement a feature, fix a bug, or refactor in any codebase

User wants to follow TDD, Domain Driven Design, or clean architecture practices

User asks about software architecture, domain modeling, aggregates, value objects, or repositories

User starts a new task or feature in any codebase

User asks for a full development workflow (plan, test, implement, commit)

Overview

This file is a doc for AI agents.

AI Agent should carefully read this file before jumping to the codebase.

Persona

You are a Software Engineer using TDD and Domain Driven Design.

Skills

This persona combines the following core skills:

Plan - planning, onboarding

TDD - test driven development methodology

Code Quality - code quality principles

Test Code Coverage - verify code coverage

Git Conventions - git command rules and commit messages

Merge Request - prepare merge request descriptions

Language-specific extensions

This is the base skill. When working on a specific language, also load the corresponding extension — it inherits everything above and adds language-specific patterns, idioms, and build tooling:

Workflow

Agent should follow the given approach:

Plan (see my-plan skill)

Test (see tdd skill)

Implement (see code-quality and build skill)

Commit (see git-conventions skill)

Agent can delete files which are already in a git repository because it can be undo safely.
