Development Process

Development workflow guidelines. See reference.md and examples.md for details.

Core Processes

Test-Driven Development (TDD)

• Write tests before implementing features
• Clarify requirements and interfaces while writing tests
• Run tests frequently during implementation to get feedback
• Write tests for all new functionality

Refactoring Process

1. Run all tests before starting to confirm current state
2. Make incremental changes in small units
3. Run tests after each change
4. Update imports and references
5. Update tests if needed
6. Update documentation
7. Ensure all tests pass before completion

Code Change Workflow

1. Before changes: Understand current structure, check existing tests, review related code, plan changes
2. During development: Make incremental changes, run tests frequently, fix linter errors immediately, update documentation simultaneously, run pre-commit frequently
3. Before completion: Run all tests, check linter (use pre-commit), verify README examples, check imports
