The Full Lifecycle

These workflows follow the natural order of feature development:

  1. Brainstorming — Explore an idea, gather requirements, produce a design document.
  2. Specification — Turn the design into a formal spec with acceptance criteria.
  3. Architecture — Review system design, check ADR compliance, validate patterns.
  4. Planning — Break the spec into a step-by-step implementation plan.
  5. Implementing — Execute the plan with TDD and code review checkpoints.
  6. Code Review — Review code quality from multiple angles.
  7. PR Workflow — Commit, prepare a PR, and get it merged.
  8. Debugging — When something goes wrong, debug systematically.

You do not need to follow every step for every feature. Small bug fixes might jump straight to debugging and PR workflow. Large features benefit from the full pipeline.
