Workflow Patterns

Multiple Skills can be chained into efficient workflows. Here are proven combination patterns.

Pattern 1: Full-Stack Feature Development

grill-me → prototype → to-prd → to-issues → tdd → review → simplify

Phase	Skill	Output
Clarify	grill-me	Clear requirement boundaries
Validate	prototype	Runnable prototype
Document	to-prd	PRD document
Break down	to-issues	Issue list
Develop	tdd	Test-covered code
Review	review	Review feedback
Clean up	simplify	Simplified code

Pattern 2: Bug Lifecycle

triage → diagnose → tdd → review → handoff(optional)

Phase	Skill	Output
Assess	triage	Priority and category
Locate	diagnose	Root cause analysis
Fix	tdd	Fix + regression test
Review	review	Review confirmation

Pattern 3: Architecture Evolution

improve-codebase-architecture → grill-with-docs → prototype → tdd → review

Phase	Skill	Output
Analyze	improve-codebase-architecture	Problem module identification
Align	grill-with-docs	ADR alignment
Validate	prototype	New architecture prototype
Implement	tdd	Incremental refactoring
Review	review	Change confirmation

Pattern 4: New Developer Onboarding

init → understand-anything:understand-onboard → grill-with-docs

Phase	Skill	Output
Initialize	init	CLAUDE.md
Learn	understand-onboard	Knowledge graph + learning path
Deepen	grill-with-docs	Domain model alignment

Pattern 5: CI Guardian

loop → diagnose → tdd → review → handoff

Phase	Skill	Output
Monitor	loop	Periodic CI checks
Locate	diagnose	Failure analysis
Fix	tdd	Fix + tests
Review	review	Change review
Handoff	handoff	If someone else takes over

Combination Principles

1. One-way flow — Left to right, each step has clear output
2. Interruptible — Any phase can pause; outputs are independently usable
3. Progressive investment — Later steps cost more; early steps are cheap
4. Adapt and trim — Skip to-prd and to-issues for small tasks
