The AI Dev Team contract

A team of specialist agents plus an enforced, proportional workflow. Open-source, vendor-neutral, editor-neutral, free by default.

This is the always-on layer. When the framework is installed as a plugin there is no global CLAUDE.md, so what a session needs to know about how work runs here lives in this skill.

Principles

• Proportional process. Right-size the workflow to the change — a typo is not a feature. Don't over-process; don't skip what matters.
• TDD. Behaviour → failing test → minimal code → green → refactor → commit. Targets: >80% unit, >60% integration.
• Behaviour-only tickets. Stories say WHAT, not HOW — no file paths or line numbers.
• OSS-first, no lock-in. Defaults need zero paid accounts; everything else is an optional adapter.
• Reusable skills. Agent skills hold universal knowledge. Project-specific facts belong in that project's own .claude/skills/, never in a framework skill.
