When to Use

Use this skill when:

• Starting non-trivial changes
• Coordinating spec, design, implementation, and validation
• Running command-based SDD flow

---

Canonical Phase Order

1. explore - understand existing behavior and constraints
2. propose - define intent and scope
3. apply - implement tasks from approved plan
4. verify - validate behavior against spec and regressions
5. archive - capture completion and close loop

Never skip a phase without explicit rationale.

---

Artifacts per Phase

• Explore: findings and risks
• Propose: change proposal with scope boundaries
• Apply: code + tests
• Verify: evidence of validation
• Archive: finalized summary and follow-ups

---

Exit Criteria

• Scope and risks understood before implementation
• Tests prove expected behavior
• Verification covers regressions
• Session summary captures learnings for next work
