ways-of-working skillA

ways-of-working is agent-read markdown (skill) from devantler-tech/agent-skills: 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..

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 against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns 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.
