Staged Build Methodology

Drive software projects through a structured lifecycle that prevents the #1 AI coding failure: losing context on a big plan and missing pieces.

When NOT to use this skill

Task is a quick script, one-off fix, or single-file change → just build it directly
User wants to edit existing code, not plan a new project → edit directly
Scope is entirely clear and fits in one session without a plan → skip the methodology
User explicitly says "just do it" without wanting a plan → respect that
