name	project-core-dev
description	Overlay for day-to-day feature work and bug fixes in repo-owned code. Provides a validation checklist for build, test, format, and analysis. Use alongside the repo's principle skill.

Project Core Dev

Read AGENTS.md first. This is a composable overlay, not a standalone workflow. Use alongside the repo's principle skill (e.g. coding-guidance-cpp) for normal feature work and bug fixes in repo-owned code.

When to use

The task is a feature, bug fix, or refactor in repo-owned code that needs a standard build-test-format-analyze validation pass.

Not for

Vendored dependency changes (use project-vendor-boundary), release/packaging work (use project-release-maintainer), config/test-focused work (use project-config-and-tests), or environment diagnosis (use project-platform-diagnose).

Validation Checklist

Run the repo's equivalents of these steps before committing:

• build with the development preset or debug configuration
• run the test suite with output on failure for covered changes
• run the formatter or format-check target
• run a lightweight smoke test (e.g. --help or --version on the main binary)
• add analyzer, sanitizer, or memory-checking validation when the change surface justifies it
• run static analysis targets when available
