<when_to_use> Invoke this skill when:
- •Starting new work that needs a tracking ticket
- •User wants to "start working on X"
- •Committing and creating a PR with ticket linkage
- •Any development workflow that involves both git and ticket tracking </when_to_use>
<mandatory_skill_invocation>
CRITICAL: Invoke Child Skills Before Operations
You MUST invoke child skills using the Skill tool before performing their operations.
Before Ticket Operations -> Invoke /ticket-tracker
Skill tool -> skill: "ticket-tracker"
Then you'll have:
- •Correct CLI command syntax
- •Status transition IDs
- •Epic discovery commands
- •Project defaults
Before Git Operations -> Invoke /git-conventions
Skill tool -> skill: "git-conventions"
Then you'll have:
- •Branch naming format (conventional:
feat/description) - •Commit message format (conventional:
feat: description) - •Attribution rules
- •Stale branch detection
Why This Matters
Without loading child skills, you will:
- •Use wrong command flags and waste time
- •Forget conventions
- •Miss context (epic linkage, status IDs)
DO NOT skip this step. Load the skill, then execute. </mandatory_skill_invocation>
<workflow_starting_work>
Starting Work (Branch Creation)
When user wants to start work:
Step 1: Check for existing ticket
- •Did user provide a ticket number?
- •Is there a ticket in the conversation context?
Step 2: If no ticket -> invoke ticket-tracker skill
The ticket-tracker skill handles:
- •Epic discovery and selection
- •Assignee prompting
- •Ticket creation with smart defaults
Step 3: Create branch (git-conventions skill handles format)
# Branch uses conventional format git checkout -b feat/description-of-work
Step 4: Update ticket -> ticket-tracker skill
- •Assign to user
- •Transition to "In Progress"
- •Add branch name as comment (for linkage)
Flow Diagram
User: "I need to fix the login validation bug"
|
+- Check for ticket -> None found
|
+- ticket-tracker skill: Create ticket
| +- Search epics
| +- Ask assignee
| +- Create ticket
|
+- git-conventions skill: Create branch
| +- git checkout -b fix/login-validation
|
+- ticket-tracker skill: Update ticket
+- Assign
+- Transition "In Progress"
+- Comment with branch name
</workflow_starting_work>
<workflow_committing>
Committing Changes
Step 1: Stage and commit (git-conventions skill handles format)
- •Stage specific files (never
git add .) - •Conventional commit format:
type: message - •Follow attribution rules
Flow Diagram
User: "commit these changes"
|
+- Stage specific files
|
+- git-conventions skill: Commit
+- "fix: resolve login validation logic"
</workflow_committing>
<workflow_pr>
Creating Pull Request
Step 1: Create PR (git-conventions skill handles format)
- •Title: conventional format (
fix: description) - •Body: Summary + Test plan + ticket reference
- •Open in browser after creation
Step 2: Update ticket -> ticket-tracker skill
- •Transition to "Ready to Deploy" (or equivalent)
- •Add comment with PR URL
Flow Diagram
User: "create a PR for this"
|
+- git-conventions skill: Create PR
| +- "fix: resolve login validation"
| +- Body includes ticket reference
|
+- Open in browser
|
+- ticket-tracker skill: Update ticket
+- Transition "Ready to Deploy"
+- Comment with PR URL
</workflow_pr>

Complete Development Cycle
1. START WORK -> /dev-workflow "fix login bug" +- ticket-tracker: Create ticket +- git-conventions: Create branch fix/login-validation +- ticket-tracker: Transition "In Progress" 2. DO WORK -> (user makes code changes) 3. COMMIT -> conventional commit +- git-conventions: "fix: resolve login validation" 4. CREATE PR -> /dev-workflow "create pr" +- git-conventions: Create PR, open browser +- ticket-tracker: Transition "Ready to Deploy" 5. AFTER MERGE -> ticket-tracker skill +- Transition "Done"
</workflow_complete>
<skill_delegation>
Skill Responsibilities
| Task | Skill | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Git format validation | /git-conventions | Conventional commits, branch naming, no attribution |
| Ticket operations | /ticket-tracker | Create, transition, assign, comment |
| Orchestration | /dev-workflow | Coordinates both, knows the workflow order |
This skill (dev-workflow) invokes the others as needed. The child skills stay single-purpose. </skill_delegation>
<success_criteria> This skill is working correctly when:
- •User can say "start working on X" and get a ticket + branch created
- •All commits use conventional commit format
- •User can create PR and ticket is automatically updated
- •No manual ticket updates needed during normal dev workflow
- •git-conventions and ticket-tracker skills are invoked at the right times </success_criteria>
