End-to-end feature development — grill the user into an approved spec, fan out research into an implementation plan, then implement in parallel dependency waves with review and integration.

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

# Feature workflow

Three phases with a hard human gate before implementation. All artifacts live
in `docs/features/<name>.md` (`<name>` is kebab-case) inside the project, so
they survive compaction and can be committed. A program built from
scratch keeps its program spec there and one file per milestone beside it,
and a tree with nothing to build or test takes the greenfield path below
before any research. The two workflow scripts
ship in this skill directory; run each with `workflow_run({"skill":
"feature-workflow", "path": "<script>.js", "input": "<JSON>"})` and the host
reads the file. Never pass a script's text as `source` — a retyped copy
differs from the file — and never spawn agents to execute one.

## Phase 1 — Brainstorm and grill (interactive, you and the user)

This phase is a conversation, not a form. One topic per message; follow up on
vague answers instead of moving on. Cover, in roughly this order:

- **Problem**: what hurts today, who feels it, what breaks if we do nothing.
- **Scope**: goals and explicit non-goals. Push for non-goals — "everything
  else" is not an answer.
- **Design**: proposed shape, alternatives considered and rejected (and why),
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add alexschlessinger/polly/feature-workflow@sha256:d537f048a474abf5

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261103.9ebecff, 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.
