This skill provides the standard development workflow for all non-trivial code changes in amplihack. It auto-activates when detecting multi-file implementations, complex integrations, or significant refactoring work.
The workflow defines the canonical execution process: from requirements clarification through design, implementation, testing, review, and merge. It ensures consistent quality by orchestrating specialized agents at each step and enforcing philosophy compliance throughout.
This is a thin wrapper that references the complete workflow definition stored in a single canonical location, ensuring no duplication or drift between the skill interface and the workflow specification.
This skill is a thin wrapper that references the canonical workflow:
Source: .claude/workflow/DEFAULT_WORKFLOW.md (471+ lines)
The canonical workflow contains the complete development process with all details, agent specifications, and execution guidance.
When this skill is activated, you MUST:
Read the canonical workflow immediately:
Read(file_path=".claude/workflow/DEFAULT_WORKFLOW.md")
Note: Path is relative to project root. Claude Code resolves this automatically.
Follow all steps exactly as specified in the canonical workflow
