Activation
This is the description your AI agent reads to decide when to run this skill — the better it matches your request, the more reliably it fires.
Master SDLC orchestrator that reads TASK.md and executes a complete development cycle: TDD test design, TDD implementation, refactoring, code quality, security, documentation, git commit, and pull request. Use this skill whenever TASK.md is updated or the user says "run the pipeline", "implement this task", "start the workflow", "SDLC", "implement from TASK.md", or any request to execute the full development lifecycle from a task description. Do NOT use for single RED/GREEN cycles - use tdd-workflow for focused TDD guidance.Key capabilities
- →Read `TASK.md` to understand task requirements, acceptance criteria, and constraints.
- →Orchestrate a complete development cycle including TDD test design and implementation.
- →Perform refactoring, code quality checks, and security analysis.
- →Generate documentation and manage Git commits.
- →Create pull requests.
- →Display a stage banner to track progress through the SDLC.
How it works
The skill reads a `TASK.md` file, then orchestrates a series of stages including TDD, refactoring, quality checks, security, documentation, committing, and creating a pull request, delegating to sub-skills.
Inputs & outputs
When to use sdlc-workflow
- →Implementing new features
- →Running full dev cycles
- →Securing code changes
- →Automating pull requests
About sdlc-workflow
Follows a strict development pipeline: designs tests, implements code, refactors, ensures security, and creates commits and PRs, all managed through a task description file.
>-
When not to use it
- →For single RED/GREEN cycles, use `tdd-workflow` for focused TDD guidance.
Limitations
- →No implementation code before a failing test exists.
- →No refactoring before GREEN is confirmed.
- →No commit before `just ci` exits 0.
How it compares
This skill automates and orchestrates the entire software development lifecycle based on a task description, providing a structured and rule-bound process compared to manual development.
