| 1 | # Workflow Patterns |
| 2 | |
| 3 | Guide for implementing tasks using Conductor's TDD workflow, managing phase checkpoints, handling git commits, and executing the verification protocol that ensures quality throughout implementation. |
| 4 | |
| 5 | ## When to Use This Skill |
| 6 | |
| 7 | - Implementing tasks from a track's plan.md |
| 8 | - Following TDD red-green-refactor cycle |
| 9 | - Completing phase checkpoints |
| 10 | - Managing git commits and notes |
| 11 | - Understanding quality assurance gates |
| 12 | - Handling verification protocols |
| 13 | - Recording progress in plan files |

| 19 | ## Best Practices |
| 20 | |
| 21 | 1. **Never skip RED**: Always write failing tests first |
| 22 | 2. **Small commits**: One logical change per commit |
| 23 | 3. **Immediate updates**: Update plan.md right after task completion |
| 24 | 4. **Wait for approval**: Never skip checkpoint verification |
| 25 | 5. **Rich git notes**: Include context that helps future understanding |
| 26 | 6. **Coverage discipline**: Don't accept coverage below target |
| 27 | 7. **Quality gates**: Check all gates before marking complete |
| 28 | 8. **Sequential phases**: Complete phases in order |
| 29 | 9. **Document deviations**: Note any changes from original plan |
| 30 | 10. **Clean state**: Each commit should leave code in working state |
| 31 | 11. **Fast feedback**: Run relevant tests frequently during development |
| 32 | 12. **Clear blockers**: Address blockers promptly, don't work around them |
