Core development methodology for claude-flow. Enforces TDD (test-first), systematic debugging (4-phase), and verification gates. Use when starting any development task, fixing bugs, or completing features.
/plugin marketplace add Dutchthenomad/claude-flow/plugin install claude-flow@claude-flow-marketplaceThis skill inherits all available tools. When active, it can use any tool Claude has access to.
"NO production code without a failing test first"
RED → GREEN → REFACTOR
"Evidence before claims, always"
Before claiming ANY task complete:
"Root cause before fix attempts"
4-Phase Protocol:
"Plans executable with zero context"
Plans must include:
"Isolated workspace for each feature"
Use git worktrees:
git worktree add .worktrees/feature-name -b feature/feature-name
