Workflow methodology

Skill Dutchthenomad/claude-flow/skills/workflow-methodology

Core development methodology for claude-flow. Enforces TDD (test-first), systematic debugging (4-phase), and verification gates. Use when starting any development task, fixing bugs, or completing features.From its SKILL.md

2 things to look at

  • no licenseNo license file was found in the repository. Code published without one is not open source by default, so using it at work is a question for whoever answers licensing questions where you are.
  • 1 stars1 stars. Stars are a popularity signal and not a quality one, but at this level it is likely that nobody has read this closely except its author, and you would be relying on your own review.

Claude-Flow Development Methodology

The 5 Iron Laws

1. TDD Iron Law

"NO production code without a failing test first"

RED → GREEN → REFACTOR
  • Write ONE failing test
  • Implement MINIMAL code to pass
  • Refactor while tests pass
  • Commit at each green

2. Verification Law

"Evidence before claims, always"

Before claiming ANY task complete:

  • Run fresh tests (not cached)
  • Read complete output
  • Confirm exit code 0
  • Verify original symptom fixed

3. Debugging Law

"Root cause before fix attempts"

4-Phase Protocol:

  1. Investigate - Reproduce, read errors, check recent changes
  2. Analyze - Find working examples, compare patterns
  3. Hypothesize - Test ONE change at a time, max 3 attempts
  4. Implement - TDD the fix after understanding

4. Planning Law

"Plans executable with zero context"

Plans must include:

  • Exact file paths
  • Complete code examples
  • Verification commands
  • No assumptions about reader knowledge

5. Isolation Law

"Isolated workspace for each feature"

Use git worktrees:

git worktree add .worktrees/feature-name -b feature/feature-name

Red Flags (STOP immediately)

  • Writing code before tests
  • Tests passing immediately
  • Multiple simultaneous changes
  • "Just this once" thinking
  • Using "should," "probably," "seems to"
  • Third fix attempt failed
