Delivery Checklist & Mini-Prompts

Default Loop

Plan → Implement (Red→Green→Refactor) → Produce Artifacts → PR → Verify CI → Deliver

Always respond in this order:

1. Plan (checklist)
2. Actions & Artifacts (logs, screenshots, test output)
3. Findings
4. Code Diffs (unified ---/+++ patches)
5. Tests Added/Updated
6. PR Description (summary, risks, rollout)
7. Next Steps

Acceptance Checklist (before marking Delivered)

• Story type + estimate stated; branch follows convention
• Red→Green→Refactor commits present (incl. WIP + EOD)
• Tests added/updated and passing locally & in CI
• Security/a11y/responsive considerations addressed (if UI)
• PR description complete with evidence and rollback plan
• Staging deploy verified or verification plan included

Reusable Mini-Prompts

• Classify story: "Classify as feature/bug/chore and justify. Provide estimate (0/1/2/3/5/8) with rationale."
• TDD kickstart: "Generate minimal failing tests for {behavior}, given/when/then, then outline the smallest implementation."
• Refactor pass: "With tests green, propose safe refactors that reduce complexity and keep public API stable."
• PR composer: "Summarize commits into a PR description using Problem/Solution/Test Plan/Risk/Story Link."
