feature-cycle skillA

feature-cycle is agent-read markdown (skill) from clickety-clacks/tightbeam: The loop that takes a feature from intent to a user-verified result — spec, adversarial spec review, decompose, implement, review, spirit review for substantial changes, integrate, real run, user verification, teardown. Use when you own a feature or bug and are driving it end to end..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified before it reaches your agent: the main file against the SHA-256 recorded here, the others against the git hashes of its source commit. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Feature cycle

One work-item is the durable thread for the whole feature:
`tightbeam work-item-create --title "<feature>"`. When a spec already exists at a
canonical path, bind it to the work-item by content, not by memory:
`--spec-ref <name> --spec-sha256 <hex>` records the exact spec version the work
serves, so every coder, reviewer-code, and reviewer-spec session reads the same one. Every assignment below threads
to the work-item (`--work-item <id>`). `tightbeam dispatch --to <holder> --subject "…"
--brief "…" --work-item <id>` opens a plain card and wakes its holder in one atomic step;
a card that declares files (`--files`) or links a review (`--reviews`) opens with `assign`
and is then woken, because those flags live on `assign` — so the steps below that need
them keep that two-step form.

Keep only a handful of goals truly in-flight at once (see the kernel); this loop is
per-feature, but your attention across features is the scarce resource.

0. **Posture.** Before anything is staffed, rule the slice heavy or light (the
   orchestrator kernel defines both) and file it as a verdict on your slice card on
…

How to install

Latest version
mdr add clickety-clacks/tightbeam/feature-cycle@git:20260905.dbe46a8
Exact content
mdr add clickety-clacks/tightbeam/feature-cycle@sha256:7cf595afaf73658c

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 for exact bytes. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install fetches those bytes again and checks them, so it installs them exactly or fails.
