Phase Workflow Runner

This skill executes a deterministic, repeatable phase workflow.

Core Principles

• Never overwrite existing working code
• Never redo completed tasks
• Always audit before action
• Tests define correctness
• Phase completion requires verification

Workflow Steps (MANDATORY)

1. Phase Audit

• Inspect project structure
• Read relevant spec and tasks files
• Identify:
  • Completed items
  • Missing files
  • Failing or absent tests
  • Partial implementations

Produce a concise audit report before proceeding.

2. Gap Filling

Only after audit:

• Create missing source files
• Create missing test files (RED)
• Implement minimal code to pass tests (GREEN)
• Refactor if required

Rules:

• Do not modify completed, passing code
• Do not remove existing functionality

3. Execution & Verification

• Run full test suite
• Perform manual smoke checks if CLI/project requires
• Verify acceptance criteria from spec.md

4. Documentation Update

• Update tasks.md checkboxes
• Mark checkpoints complete
• Add short completion summary

5. Completion Gate

If all criteria pass:

• Declare phase COMPLETE
• Ask user: “Phase X complete. Proceed to Phase X+1?”

If not:

• Report blockers and stop

Safety Rules

• Never hallucinate missing work
• Never assume tests exist
• Never skip audit
• Never continue if tests fail

Output Format

Always output:

1. Audit Summary
2. Actions Taken
3. Test Results
4. Acceptance Criteria Status
5. Next Step Recommendation
