About workflow-patterns
A guide to Conductor's TDD workflow for implementing planned tasks, managing phase checkpoints, and verifying quality. It is intended for developers who need consistent progress tracking, commits, and quality gates during implementation.
Key features
- 01Follow the TDD red-green-refactor cycle
- 02Manage phase checkpoints and verification
- 03Record progress in plan files
- 04Organize focused git commits and notes
- 05Apply quality gates throughout implementation
Use cases
- 01Implement tasks listed in a track plan
- 02Verify work at phase checkpoints
- 03Track task completion in plan.md
- 04Maintain a clean working state across commits

Best Practices
- Never skip RED: Always write failing tests first
- Small commits: One logical change per commit
- Immediate updates: Update plan.md right after task completion
- Wait for approval: Never skip checkpoint verification
- Rich git notes: Include context that helps future understanding
- Coverage discipline: Don't accept coverage below target
- Quality gates: Check all gates before marking complete
- Sequential phases: Complete phases in order
- Document deviations: Note any changes from original plan
- Clean state: Each commit should leave code in working state
- Fast feedback: Run relevant tests frequently during development
- Clear blockers: Address blockers promptly, don't work around them
