Dev Lifecycle

This is a full SDLC workflow packaged as a Claude skill. Eight phases from requirements through code review, with each step producing markdown docs in a `docs/ai/` structure. The early phase clarification contract is the standout piece: it forces you to surface every material question before writing code, one decision at a time, no silent assumptions. It integrates with a CLI (`ai-devkit`) for linting, memory search, and feature scaffolding, and it defaults to git worktrees for feature isolation. The phase detector script tells you where to resume work. If you've ever had a PR rejected because nobody agreed on what "done" meant, this gives you the scaffolding to avoid that.

Dev Lifecycle

Coordinate the phase-specific AI DevKit skills instead of running phase details directly.

Required phase skills:

dev-worktree for feature workspace setup and resume.
dev-requirements for phases 1-2: new requirement and requirements review.
dev-design for phase 3: design review.
dev-planning for phases 4 and 6: initial task planning and updates after implementation tasks.
dev-implementation for phases 5 and 7: execute plan and check implementation.
dev-testing for phase 8: write tests and verify coverage.
dev-review for phase 9: final code review.
