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
