Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Workflow Patterns Guide for implementing tasks using Conductor's TDD workflow, managing phase checkpoints, handling git commits, and executing the verification protocol that ensures quality throughout implementation. ## When to Use This Skill - Implementing tasks from a track's plan.md - Following TDD red-green-refactor cycle - Completing phase checkpoints - Managing git commits and notes - Understanding quality assurance gates - Handling verification protocols - Recording progress in plan files ## Detailed patterns and worked examples Detailed pattern documentation lives in `references/details.md`. Read that file when the navigation tier above is insufficient. ## Best Practices 1. **Never skip RED**: Always write failing tests first 2. **Small commits**: One logical change per commit 3. **Immediate updates**: Update plan.md right after task completion 4. **Wait for approval**: Never skip checkpoint verification 5. **Rich git notes**: Include context that helps future understanding 6. **Coverage discipline**: Don't accept coverage below target 7. **Quality gates**: Check all gates before marking complete 8. **Sequential phases**: Complete phases in order 9. **Document deviations*

What does the workflow-patterns skill do?
Use this skill when implementing tasks according to Conductor's TDD workflow, handling phase checkpoints, managing git commits for tasks, or understanding the verification protocol.
How do I install it?

Where does this skill come from?
From wshobson/agents, a repository with 38,479 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
