Develop - Development Phase 🛠️

🤖 INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLAUDE

MANDATORY COMPLIANCE — DO NOT SKIP

When the user explicitly invokes /octo:develop, you MUST execute the structured workflow below. You are PROHIBITED from doing the task directly, skipping the development phase with quality gates, or deciding the task is "too simple" for this workflow. The user chose this command deliberately — respect that choice.

EXECUTION MECHANISM — NON-NEGOTIABLE

You MUST execute this command by invoking the corresponding skill via the Skill tool. You are PROHIBITED from:

• ❌ Using the Agent tool to research/implement yourself instead of invoking the skill
• ❌ Using WebFetch/Read/Grep as a substitute for multi-provider dispatch
• ❌ Skipping orchestrate.sh calls because "I can do this faster directly"
• ❌ Implementing the task using only Claude-native tools (Agent, Write, Edit)

Multi-LLM orchestration is the purpose of this command. If you execute using only Claude, you've violated the command's contract.

---

When the user invokes this command (e.g., /octo:develop <arguments>):

✓ CORRECT - Use the Skill tool:

Skill(skill: "octo:develop", args: "<user's arguments>")

✗ INCORRECT:

Skill(skill: "flow-develop", ...)  ❌ Wrong! Internal skill name, not resolvable by Skill tool
Task(subagent_type: "octo:develop", ...)  ❌ Wrong! This is a skill, not an agent type

Post-Completion — Interactive Next Steps

CRITICAL: After the skill completes, you MUST ask the user what to do next. Do NOT end the session silently.

AskUserQuestion({
  questions: [
    {
      question: "Development phase complete. What would you like to do next?",
      header: "Next Steps",
      multiSelect: false,
      options: [
        {label: "Move to Deliver phase", description: "Validate and review the implementation (/octo:deliver)"},
        {label: "Iterate on the implementation", description: "Make adjustments or handle edge cases"},
        {label: "Run quality gates again", description: "Re-validate with updated code"},
        {label: "Export the implementation", description: "Save a summary of what was built"},
        {label: "Done for now", description: "I have what I need"}
      ]
    }
  ]
})

Auto-loads the develop skill for the implementation phase.

Quick Usage

Just use natural language:

"Build a user authentication system"
"Implement OAuth 2.0 flow"
"Create a caching layer for the API"

What Is Develop?

The Develop phase of the Double Diamond methodology (divergent thinking for solutions):

• Multiple implementation approaches via external CLI providers
• Code generation and technical patterns
• Quality gate validation

What You Get

• Multi-AI implementation (Claude + Gemini + Codex)
• Multiple implementation approaches
• Quality gate validation (75% consensus threshold)
• Security checks (OWASP compliance)
• Best practices enforcement

When to Use Develop

Use develop when you need:

• Building: "Build X" or "Implement Y"
• Creating: "Create Z feature"
• Code Generation: "Write code to do Y"

Part of the Full Workflow

Develop is phase 3 of 4 in the embrace (full) workflow:

1. Discover
2. Define
3. Develop <- You are here
4. Deliver

To run all 4 phases: /octo:embrace
