Metapowers

Development Domain Overview

A process-oriented software development workflow for structured planning, building, testing, and shipping.

The Development plugin provides a structured workflow for software development. Each skill guides you through a specific phase of the development lifecycle, from planning through shipping.

All skills are tech-stack-agnostic — they work with any language, framework, or toolchain by following process-oriented patterns and using the project's native tooling.

Workflow Skills

SkillCommandPurpose
Plan/development:planBreak a feature into bite-sized implementation tasks
Build/development:buildExecute the plan task-by-task with TDD discipline
Test/development:testWrite tests and validate coverage

Utility Skills

SkillCommandPurpose
Debug/development:debugSystematic root cause investigation
Review/development:reviewPre-merge code review
Ship/development:shipFinish branch — merge, PR, or cleanup

Artifact Flow

Workflow skills produce sequential artifacts in .metapowers/development/<feature>/:

.metapowers/development/auth-system/
  01-plan.md      ← Implementation plan with tasks
  02-build.md     ← Execution log with commits
  03-test.md      ← Test coverage report
  04-review.md    ← Review findings

Utility skills (debug, ship) run anytime and don't produce sequential artifacts.
