Use this skill when implementing tasks according to Conductor's TDD workflow, handling phase checkpoints, managing git commits for tasks, or understanding the verification protocol.
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.

# Workflow Patterns Guide for implementing tasks using Conductor's TDD workflow, managing phase checkpoints, handling git commits, and executing the verification protocol that ensures quality throughout implementation. ## When to Use This Skill - Implementing tasks from a track's plan.md - Following TDD red-green-refactor cycle - Completing phase checkpoints - Managing git commits and notes - Understanding quality assurance gates - Handling verification protocols - Recording progress in plan files ## Detailed patterns and worked examples Detailed pattern documentation lives in `references/details.md`. Read that file when the navigation tier above is insufficient. ## Best Practices 1. **Never skip RED**: Always write failing tests first 2. **Small commits**: One logical change per commit 3. **Immediate updates**: Update plan.md right after task completion 4. **Wait for approval**: Never skip checkpoint verification 5. **Rich git notes**: Include context that helps future understanding 6. **Coverage discipline**: Don't accept coverage below target 7. **Quality gates**: Check all gates before marking complete 8. **Sequential phases**: Complete phases in order …

How to install
mdr add wshobson/agents/workflow-patterns@sha256:dc156fe16f39e37cThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
