Run a requested full development workflow: branch, implement, check, review, PR, merge, and release.

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

# Dev Cycle: Start-to-Finish Workflow

Dev Cycle gets invoked once to start a task and again later to ship it, keeping git, testing, and review calls out of a single freeform session.

Orchestrates a unit of work from branch creation to merge and release. Runs in
two modes that typically span different sessions:

- **Start mode**: pull latest, size-detect, create feature branch, brainstorm
  spec for large work or hand off to coding for small work.
- **Finish mode**: verify green, sync docs/versions, review, push, open PR,
  watch CI, merge, cut release when conventions exist.

Each mode delegates to purpose-built skills (`git`, `testing`, `code-review`,
`update-docs`, brainstorming skills) rather than reimplementing them. This
skill is the glue, not the engine.

## When to use

- User signals the start of a unit of work: "start working on X", "let's add Y",
  "kick off the Z refactor", "new feature branch for ..."
- User signals the end of a unit of work: "wrap this up", "ship this", "ready
  to merge", "finish and release", "close out", "finalize"
- Branch is clearly a feature branch and the user is about to stop touching code

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add iuliandita/skills/dev-cycle@sha256:3d1c81a43c6743d7

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261012.7d77d20, 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.
