Use for any multi-step task (3+ steps, or "do A then B then C"). Solves the biggest weakness of small/open-source models vs Claude — finishing ONE sub-task then stopping instead of driving the whole task to completion. Pairs with action-first (which kills narrate-and-stop) by adding the cross-step drive — finish a step then immediately start the next, repeat until ALL done. Uses TudouClaw's own plan_update / task_update / agent_todo tools.
Engineering workflow pack — combined planning, implementation, review, and shipping skills (vendored from obra/superpowers, merged 2026-05-04). Use this when working on any non-trivial dev task: brainstorm → plan → implement (TDD) → debug/verify/review → finish branch.
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 facing 2+ independent tasks that can be worked on without shared state or sequential dependencies
Use when you have a written implementation plan to execute in a separate session with review checkpoints
Use when implementation is complete, all tests pass, and you need to decide how to integrate the work - guides completion of development work by presenting structured options for merge, PR, or cleanup
Use when receiving code review feedback, before implementing suggestions, especially if feedback seems unclear or technically questionable - requires technical rigor and verification, not performative agreement or blind implementation
Use when completing tasks, implementing major features, or before merging to verify work meets requirements
