| description | Overlay for day-to-day feature work and bug fixes in repo-owned code. Provides a validation checklist for build, test, format, and analysis. Use alongside the repo's principle skill. |
Project Core Dev
Read AGENTS.md first. This is a composable overlay, not a standalone workflow.
Use alongside the repo's principle skill (e.g. coding-guidance-cpp) for
normal feature work and bug fixes in repo-owned code.
When to use
The task is a feature, bug fix, or refactor in repo-owned code that needs a
standard build-test-format-analyze validation pass.
Not for
Vendored dependency changes (use project-vendor-boundary), release/packaging
work (use project-release-maintainer), config/test-focused work (use
project-config-and-tests), or environment diagnosis (use
project-platform-diagnose).
Validation Checklist
Run the repo's equivalents of these steps before committing:
- build with the development preset or debug configuration
- run the test suite with output on failure for covered changes
- run the formatter or format-check target
- run a lightweight smoke test (e.g.
--help or --version on the main binary)
- add analyzer, sanitizer, or memory-checking validation when the change surface
justifies it
- run static analysis targets when available
