dev_skill

Overview

This skill orchestrates an extreme lightweight end-to-end development workflow that enforces early backend selection, targeted requirement clarification, parallel task execution, and mandatory ≥90% unit-test coverage. It coordinates multi-agent code work through a single codeagent-wrapper interface and deterministic backend routing per task type. The flow is seven steps long and is optimized for minimal overhead and fast, auditable results.

How this skill works

The orchestrator begins by asking which AI backends are allowed, then runs a short series of clarification questions and creates a Todo task list. A deep technical analysis is delegated to codeagent-wrapper in analysis mode to explore the codebase and break work into 2–5 parallelizable tasks. All code changes are executed through codeagent-wrapper --parallel with backend routing based on task type, and coverage is validated to meet the 90% requirement before finalizing.

When to use it

• Implementing small-to-medium features that benefit from parallelized task execution.
• Refactoring or adding features where test coverage is required to be ≥90%.
• When you want deterministic backend selection and enforced toolchain usage.
• Coordinating multi-agent contributions without manual code edits.
• Projects where fast iteration and clear audit trails are required.

Best practices

• Always respond to the initial backend-selection prompt; backend choices drive routing for all tasks.
• Keep clarification answers concise and precise to finish 2–3 Q/A rounds quickly.
• Design features so they can be split into 2–5 independent tasks with clear file scopes.
• Prefer codex for default work, gemini for UI, and claude for quick-fix tasks—respect allowed_backends.
• Ensure tests are written alongside code; aim for incremental coverage targets to reach ≥90%.

Example use cases

• Add a new API endpoint with accompanying unit tests and integration test harness.
• Refactor a service module into smaller components while keeping coverage high.
• Introduce a small frontend component and scss change routed to the UI backend.
• Apply quick configuration or CI fix using a fast backend for rapid turnaround.
