werkstatt

You MUST use this before any creative work - creating features, building components, adding functionality, or modifying behavior. Explores user intent, requirements and design before implementation.

Use when you have a written implementation plan to execute in a separate session with review checkpoints

Use when completing tasks, implementing major features, or before merging to verify work meets requirements

Use when executing implementation plans with independent tasks in the current session

Use when encountering any bug, test failure, or unexpected behavior, before proposing fixes

Use when starting feature work that needs isolation from current workspace or before executing implementation plans - creates isolated git worktrees with smart directory selection and safety verification

Use when starting any conversation - establishes how to find and use skills, requiring Skill tool invocation before ANY response including clarifying questions

Use when about to claim work is complete, fixed, passing, visually correct, or ready to commit/PR; especially after frontend/UI changes - evidence before assertions always

Use when you have a spec or requirements for a multi-step task, before touching code

Use when creating new skills, editing existing skills, or verifying skills work before deployment
