workflow-patterns
🎯SkillA guide for carrying out tasks step by step in Conductor's test-first workflow. It covers writing tests before code, pausing at checkpoints for approval, making small git commits, and recording progress in the plan file.

What this skill does
Overview
This skill explains how to work through tasks using Conductor's workflow. It is built on TDD, which means you write a failing test first and then write code to make it pass. It also covers checkpoints, git commits and quality checks.
Key Features
- Follow the red, green, refactor cycle: failing test, passing code, then cleanup.
- Work through tasks listed in a track's plan.md file.
- Stop at each phase checkpoint and wait for approval before moving on.
- Make small commits and add helpful git notes for later readers.
- Check test coverage and other quality gates before marking a task done.
Who is this for?
This is for developers who use Conductor to plan and run their coding work. It suits people who want steady, reviewable progress instead of large jumps. Teams that care about tests and clean history will find it most useful.

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
- Never skip RED: Always write failing tests first
- Small commits: One logical change per commit
- Immediate updates: Update plan.md right after task completion
- Wait for approval: Never skip checkpoint verification
- Rich git notes: Include context that helps future understanding
- Coverage discipline: Don't accept coverage below target
- Quality gates: Check all gates before marking complete
- Sequential phases: Complete phases in order
- Document deviations: Note any changes from original plan
- Clean state: Each commit should leave code in working state
- Fast feedback: Run relevant tests frequently during development
- Clear blockers: Address blockers promptly, don't work around them
