Dev Workflows
Overview
Unify build, test, and DX improvement workflows so they are repeatable and reliable. Focus on safe execution, clear diagnostics, and actionable follow-ups.
When to Use
- Running builds or resolving build failures
- Executing tests or analyzing test failures
- Improving onboarding, tooling, or developer workflows
Avoid when:
- The task is pure code implementation
- A full release process is required (use release-prep)
Quick Reference
| Task | Load reference |
|---|---|
| Build workflows | skills/dev-workflows/references/build.md |
| Test workflows | skills/dev-workflows/references/test.md |
| DX improvements | skills/dev-workflows/references/dx.md |
Workflow
- Select the workflow type: build, test, or DX.
- Load the matching reference file.
- Execute with monitoring and capture diagnostics.
- Apply fixes or improvements as needed.
- Verify outcomes and document next steps.
Output
- Execution summary (status, errors, next steps)
- Suggested follow-ups or improvements
Common Mistakes
- Skipping baseline environment checks
- Running tests without capturing failing output
- Changing DX workflows without documenting impact
Recommended Agent Skills
Expand your agent's capabilities with these related and highly-rated skills.
claude-consult
Consult Claude specialist agents during implementation for codebase understanding, pattern checking, security review, debugging help, and more. Use this skill whenever you're unsure about conventions, stuck on a failure, or need expert input before writing code. Does not replace the formal review gates in agent-loops — this is for mid-implementation consultation.
doc-quality-review
Assess documentation quality across readability, consistency, audience fit, and prose clarity. Produces a scored review with actionable findings. This skill should be used before releases, during doc reviews, or when documentation feels unclear or inconsistent.
event-driven-architecture
Event-driven architecture patterns with event sourcing, CQRS, and message-driven communication. Use when designing distributed systems, microservices communication, or systems requiring eventual consistency and scalability.
prompt-engineering
Optimize prompts for LLMs and AI systems with structured techniques, evaluation patterns, and synthetic test data generation. Use when building AI features, improving agent performance, or crafting system prompts.
compliance-audit
Regulatory compliance auditing across GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, SOC 2, and ISO frameworks with automated evidence collection and gap analysis. Use when conducting compliance assessments, preparing for certifications, or implementing regulatory controls.
react-performance-optimization
React performance optimization patterns using memoization, code splitting, and efficient rendering strategies. Use when optimizing slow React applications, reducing bundle size, or improving user experience with large datasets.
