Codifies devantler-tech engineering practices: agent-first development workflow, TDD, CI/CD pipelines, GitHub Flow, code quality gates, and Kubernetes workflows with ksail. Use when filing issues, planning work, setting up projects, configuring CI/CD, writing tests, debugging, or making architectural decisions.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Ways of Working ## Development Workflow Development is agent-first — every change starts as a structured issue and flows through issue → plan → implement → test → review: 1. **Create an issue** using the [devantler-tech/.github issue templates](https://github.com/devantler-tech/.github/tree/main/.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE): - **Feature** — user story with acceptance criteria. - **Bug** — expected vs actual behavior with reproduction steps. - **Chore** — user story with acceptance criteria for general tasks. - **Kata** — Improvement Kata for continuous improvement (problem → definition of awesome → target condition → actions). 2. **Plan** — create a structured implementation plan from the issue before writing code. 3. **Implement** — execute the plan following the practices in this skill (TDD, quality gates, GitHub Flow, CI/CD). 4. **Manual test** — validate behavior hands-on before merging. Focus on UX: output must be well-presented and every piece of feedback (errors, warnings, prompts) must be actionable. 5. **Code review** (optional) — CI's strict linting, scanning, and quality gates are the primary feedback loop, so manual review is not always required. …

How to install
mdr add devantler-tech/agent-plugins/ways-of-working@sha256:95f15998711a49cfThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261101.7205f84, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
