Development Workflow Bundle

Overview

Consolidated workflow for end-to-end software development covering web, mobile, and backend development. This bundle orchestrates skills for building production-ready applications from scaffolding to deployment.

When to Use This Workflow

Use this workflow when:

• Building new web or mobile applications
• Adding features to existing applications
• Refactoring or modernizing legacy code
• Setting up new projects with best practices
• Full-stack feature development
• Cross-platform application development

Scope and completion

Select only phases needed for the user’s request. Skill names are references, not installed tools or delegation authority; read selected current skills before use. This workflow does not authorize paid services, production deployment, external messaging or destructive changes. Tie completion to observed checks and preserve existing project version constraints rather than adopting historical stack examples.
