Extreme Programming (XP) Skill

This skill enforces the XP values and principles to ensure high development velocity and software quality.

1. YAGNI (You Aren't Gonna Need It)

• Principle: Do not build generic, over-engineered solutions for future "what-if" scenarios.
• Action: Implement only the functionality required for the current task.
• Benefit: Reduces complexity and allows for faster pivots when requirements change.

2. Simplicity

• Build the simplest thing that could possibly work.
• Favor clear, explicit logic over clever, "magical" abstractions.

3. Continuous Integration

• Integrate changes frequently (multiple times a day).
• Every integration must be verified by automated tests to detect regressions early.

4. Pair Programming Mindset (Agent-User)

• As an agent, your "pair" is the user.
• Communicate intent clearly.
• Ask for feedback on complex design decisions before implementing.
