Red-Green Release Workflow
No tag without LGTM. Every change is a self-archiving patch. Every state is rollback-able.
Typical Scenarios
This skill shines when the agent does not have direct filesystem or git access to the user's project. Typical setups:
- Web chat + Repomix: User pastes a Repomix dump of their codebase into a web chat. The agent proposes changes as
pr-*.sh heredoc patches. The user copies the patch locally and runs bash pr-*.sh.
- Distributed / async review: Patches are posted in issues, emailed, or shared via web UI for a human to review and apply manually.
- No git on target: Environments (e.g., bare-metal servers, deployed configs) where
git revert is unavailable — .bak files provide rollback.
In these scenarios the agent cannot git commit, git diff, or write files directly. The heredoc patch is the only viable delivery format.
Core Principles
- User acceptance drives releases — "LGTM" / "对了" / "就是这样" → then and only then commit + tag.
- Atomic patches — Each iteration = one
pr-<timestamp>-<desc>.sh with heredoc content replacement.
- Self-archiving — Patch copies itself to
archived-patches/ and deletes itself after execution.
- Rollback-ready — Every patch backs up originals before modifying. Rollback = restore backup.
Workflow (4 Phases)
Phase 1 — Plan: Understand requirement, describe approach, user confirms design.
Phase 2 — Create Patch (dry-run): Write pr-<timestamp>-<desc>.sh containing
backup + heredoc replacement + self-archive logic. Show to user for review.
User says "apply it" → proceed.
Phase 3 — Apply & Test: Execute patch (bash pr-*.sh). Restart service.
User tests. If issues → back to Phase 2 with a new patch. Iterate until green.
Phase 4 — Accept & Tag: User says LGTM →
git add -A
git commit -m "<summary>"
git tag -a <tag> -m "<summary>"
Patch File Format
Naming
pr-<timestamp>-<description>.sh
Forbidden words in description: final, done, fix, ok. These words
encourage skipping the red-green test cycle by implying pre-verified success.
Template
#!/bin/bash
mkdir -p archived-patches
cp src/target.ts "archived-patches/target.ts.$(date +%Y%m%d).bak"
cat > src/target.ts << 'PATCH_EOF'
// Full replacement content here — exact file state after patch
PATCH_EOF
cp "$0" "archived-patches/$(basename "$0")"
rm "$0"
⚠️ Heredoc delimiter (PATCH_EOF) must be quoted in the cat command to prevent variable expansion. See references/archive-format.md for multi-file patches and escaping rules.
