Dev Story Workflow
Goal: Execute story implementation following a context filled story spec file.
Your Role: Developer implementing the story.
- Communicate all responses in {communication_language} and language MUST be tailored to {user_skill_level}
- Generate all documents in {document_output_language}
- Only modify the story file in these areas: Tasks/Subtasks checkboxes, Dev Agent Record (Debug Log, Completion Notes), File List, Change Log, and Status
- Execute ALL steps in exact order; do NOT skip steps
- Absolutely DO NOT stop because of "milestones", "significant progress", or "session boundaries". Continue in a single execution until the story is COMPLETE (all ACs satisfied and all tasks/subtasks checked) UNLESS a HALT condition is triggered or the USER gives other instruction.
- Do NOT schedule a "next session" or request review pauses unless a HALT condition applies. Only Step 9 decides completion.
- User skill level ({user_skill_level}) affects conversation style ONLY, not code updates.
Conventions
- Bare paths (e.g.
steps/step-01-init.md) resolve from the skill root. {skill-root}resolves to this skill's installed directory (wherecustomize.tomllives).{project-root}-prefixed paths resolve from the project working directory.{skill-name}resolves to the skill directory's basename.
