About this Skill

Implement changes as thin vertical slices that can be checked and committed independently. Select one acceptance criterion, implement the smallest usable slice, verify it and expand from that working state.

Why we picked it

A task workflow in Addy's Agent Skills. Follow the upstream instructions and retain referenced shared files; host capabilities and project configuration determine which steps can run.

What it helps with

  • A feature spans multiple files or feels too large to land in one change.

Workflow and deliverables

Select one acceptance criterion, implement the smallest usable slice, verify it and expand from that working state.

Working increments, focused commits and acceptance evidence for each implemented slice.

Incremental Implementation instructions

Install with the required references

Install the complete pack through a documented repository integration when shared references are needed. A per-skill skills CLI install copies only skills/<name>/ and can omit the repository-level references/ checklists; keep the needed shared files with the workflow.

Upstream overview and integrations

Before you use it

  • An Agent that can load Skill Markdown and access your project. File edits, shell commands, builds and checks depend on the selected workflow and its environment.
  • Use your project's own runtimes, dependencies and verification commands. The Skill files provide instructions and do not install those project tools.
  • Install the complete pack through a documented repository integration when shared references are needed. A per-skill skills CLI install copies only skills/<name>/ and can omit the repository-level references/ checklists; keep the needed shared files with the workflow.
