Key features
- 01Build workflow guidance
- 02Test execution and failure analysis
- 03Developer experience improvements
- 04Task-specific reference files
- 05Diagnostics and outcome summaries
Use cases
- 01Running builds and diagnosing failures
- 02Executing tests and reviewing failures
- 03Improving onboarding and developer tooling

Overview
Unify build, test, and DX improvement workflows so they are repeatable and reliable. Focus on safe execution, clear diagnostics, and actionable follow-ups.
When to Use
- Running builds or resolving build failures
- Executing tests or analyzing test failures
- Improving onboarding, tooling, or developer workflows
Avoid when:
- The task is pure code implementation
- A full release process is required (use release-prep)
Quick Reference
| Task | Load reference |
|---|---|
| Build workflows | skills/dev-workflows/references/build.md |
| Test workflows | skills/dev-workflows/references/test.md |
| DX improvements | skills/dev-workflows/references/dx.md |
Workflow
- Select the workflow type: build, test, or DX.
- Load the matching reference file.
- Execute with monitoring and capture diagnostics.
- Apply fixes or improvements as needed.
- Verify outcomes and document next steps.
Output
- Execution summary (status, errors, next steps)
- Suggested follow-ups or improvements
Common Mistakes
- Skipping baseline environment checks
- Running tests without capturing failing output
- Changing DX workflows without documenting impact
