Feature Development Loop

Goal: ship one new user-facing feature per iteration, fully behind the quality gate. Cadence: per feature.

Phase 0 · IDEA

• Ground in reality with /graphify "..." to check coupling.
• Score the bet with /quantic "...".
• verify: hypothesis defined and quantic recommended proceed.

Phase 1 · PLAN (SDD)

• Refine prompt and generate EXEC-MAP.
• Grill with docs.
• Draft design across specialists.
• Write the spec → docs/features/<feature>/PLAN.md.
• verify: every task has verify steps; success criteria are testable.

Phase 2 · IMPLEMENT

• Generate types, validation, migrations, repository, actions, and components.
• Make surgical, atomic commits with /git-save.
• verify: code runs; diff is surgical.

Phase 3 · TEST

• Build eval harness.
• Apply TDD for generation logic.
• Run rtk vitest.
• verify: tests green; eval cases pass.

Phase 4 · QUALITY GATE

• rtk npm run version:validate — MUST exit 0.
• Perform code review / security review.
• Check guardrails.
• verify: version:validate exit 0, review passed.

Phase 5 · SHIP

• /git-save and /git-pr-create.
• Verify PR checks in CI.
• verify: all CI checks green.

Phase 6 · REFLECT

• Append to ITERATION_LOG.md.
• Update knowledge graph with /graphify . --update.
• Queue next idea.
• verify: log updated, next idea queued.
