dev-workflow-full

name	dev-workflow-full
description	Run the full ticket lifecycle end-to-end without manually triggering each step. Chains initialize, start-work, prepare-commit, create-pr, and review-pr in sequence. Supports autopilot (no prompts) or pair (interactive) mode. Use when the user says "full workflow", "end to end", "run the whole thing", or wants to go from ticket to reviewed PR in one go.

Full Dev Workflow

Run the complete ticket lifecycle back-to-back: create branch, implement, commit, open PR, and review.

Pipeline

Step 0: Choose Mode and Collect Info

ALWAYS use the AskQuestion tool:

• Title: "Workflow Mode"
• Questions:
  • id: "mode", prompt: "How would you like to run the workflow?", options:
    • id: "autopilot", label: "Autopilot - collect info upfront, then run everything without prompting"
    • id: "pair", label: "Pair - walk through each step together, I'll confirm at each decision point"

If Autopilot: Collect Everything Upfront

Gather all required inputs in a single AskQuestion call before doing any work:

• id: "ticket", prompt: "Which Jira ticket?", options:
  • id: "specify", label: "I'll provide a ticket number"
  • id: "unticketed", label: "Unticketed work (use RETIRE-1908)"

If "specify", ask conversationally for the ticket number.

Autopilot defaults (applied automatically, no prompts):

Decision Point	Default
Branch name	Auto-generated from ticket title
Branch/worktree conflict	Create with numeric suffix
Commit strategy	Atomic commits
Unstaged changes	Stage all changes
Minor code issues	Fix automatically
Lint errors	Fix automatically (--fix)
Test failures	STOP -- always stop on test failures regardless of mode
Commit message	Auto-generated conventional commit
Push after commit	Yes
Critical issues (secrets, etc.)	STOP -- always stop on critical issues regardless of mode

If Pair: Proceed Normally

Each sub-skill runs with its full interactive prompts. The user confirms at every decision point. This is the standard behavior of each individual skill.

Step 1: Initialize

Use the dev-workflow-initialize skill to create the branch and worktree.

• Autopilot: Use the ticket number collected in Step 0. Skip the "Which Ticket?" prompt. Auto-generate branch name. Always open worktree in Cursor (no prompt). Skip "Start Implementation?" (always yes).
• Pair: All prompts go to the user as normal.

Step 2: Start Work

Use the dev-workflow-start-work skill to implement the ticket.

• Autopilot: Present the implementation plan for review (always show the plan -- this is the one pause in autopilot). After user confirms, use atomic commit strategy automatically. Skip the commit strategy prompt. During implementation, use the dev-workflow-prepare-commit skill after each logical unit with all defaults (stage all, auto-fix minor issues, auto-fix lint, auto-generate message, auto-push).
• Pair: All prompts go to the user as normal (plan confirmation, commit strategy, per-commit decisions).

Step 2.5: Final Commit (single-commit strategy only, pair mode)

Only applies in pair mode when the user chose "single commit at end". Use the dev-workflow-prepare-commit skill to review, lint, test, and commit. Auto-push when done.

This step never runs in autopilot (autopilot always uses atomic commits).

Step 3: Create PR

Use the dev-workflow-create-pr skill to push and open the pull request.

• Autopilot: Push if needed. Generate PR description and create the PR. Skip "Start PR Review?" (always yes). Proceed directly to Step 4.
• Pair: All prompts go to the user as normal.

Step 4: Validate Change (Optional)

Offer to visually validate the changes on a live device using the dev-workflow-validate-change skill.

ALWAYS use the AskQuestion tool:

• Title: "Visual Validation"
• Question: "Would you like to validate your changes visually on a device? This will analyze the diff, navigate to affected screens via Maestro, and take screenshots."
• Options:
  • id: "validate", label: "Yes, take screenshots of affected screens"
  • id: "skip", label: "Skip validation"

Based on the response:

• "validate" → Use the dev-workflow-validate-change skill. It analyzes the diff, identifies affected screens, and delegates to the maestro-take-screenshots / maestro-explore skills.

• "skip" → Proceed to Step 5.

• Autopilot: Skip this step (default: skip).

• Pair: Always prompt.

Step 5: Review PR

Use the dev-workflow-review-pr skill to review the pull request.

• Autopilot: Review the current branch's PR automatically. Skip the "Which PR?" prompt.
• Pair: All prompts go to the user as normal.

Step 6: Done

Report the final status:

Full workflow complete!

Mode: [Autopilot / Pair]
Ticket: [TICKET-ID]
Branch: [BRANCH-NAME]
Worktree: [PATH]
Commits: [N] atomic commits
PR: [PR-URL]
Review: Posted inline comments

Skipping Steps

If the user is partway through the workflow (e.g., already on a branch with work in progress), detect the current state and skip completed steps:

• Already on a feature branch with a worktree: Skip Step 1, start at Step 2
• Implementation done, changes uncommitted: Start at Step 2.5
• Changes committed and pushed: Start at Step 3
• PR already exists: Start at Step 4

Use git status, git log, and gh pr view to detect the current state.

Hard Stops (Both Modes)

These always halt the pipeline regardless of mode:

• Test failures: Stop and report. Never skip failing tests.
• Critical security issues: Hardcoded secrets, API keys, credentials. Stop and report.
• Git/gh errors: Push failures, auth issues. Stop and report.

The user can re-run the workflow after fixing the issue and it will pick up from where it left off (see "Skipping Steps").
