description	WHAT - Default development workflow, task lifecycle, DoR, DoD, validation, and evidence model when a project has no explicit override. Repository instructions still take precedence.

Development Workflow Fallback (WHAT)

Use this skill when a project has no documented workflow override and you need the default agentic-workstation expectations for delivery stages, validation, evidence, and traceability.

Priority order

1. Repository AGENTS.md, CONTRIBUTING, PR templates, CI, and project docs.
2. Engagement pack or ticket-specific workflow.
3. This default workflow fallback.

Default flow

Backlog -> Ready TODO/TODO -> In Progress -> Blocked (if needed) -> Ready for Review -> Ready for Acceptance -> Ready for QA -> Ready for Release -> Closed.

Validation model

• Definition of Ready before starting development.
• Definition of Done before completion.
• Code review and CI validation.
• Evidence-based validation: tests, screenshots/recordings when relevant, comments, linked PRs, linked work items.
• Traceability from PRD to Task to PR to Deployment.
