Feature Development Skill

Trigger

• Keywords: develop feature, implement, write code, verify, precommit, refactor, simplify

When NOT to Use

• Just want to understand code (use Explore)
• Review code only (use codex-code-review)
• Review documents only (use doc-review)
• Pure test-only tasks without feature changes (use /codex-test-review directly)

Prohibited Actions

❌ git add | git commit | git push — per @rules/git-workflow.md

This skill implements features but does not commit. /precommit is a quality gate only. To commit, the user must invoke /smart-commit --execute separately.

Commands

| Phase | Command | Description | |-------|---------|-------------| | Design | /codex-architect | Get architecture advice | | Implement | /codex-implement | Codex writes code | | Test: Run | /verify | Run tests (lint → typecheck → unit → integration) | | Test: Review | /codex-test-review | Mandatory — review test sufficiency (5 dimensions) | | Test: Generate | /codex-test-gen | Generate unit tests for gaps | | Test: Integration | /post-dev-test | Write missing integration/e2e tests | | Review | /codex-review-fast | Code review (auto-loop) | | Precommit | /precommit | lint + build + test (auto-loop canonical path) | | Doc Sync | /update-docs | Sync docs with code | | Doc Sync | /create-request --update | Update request progress | | Refactor | /simplify | Final refactoring |

Test + Review Phase (Detail)

This is the core of feature-dev — ensuring sufficient test coverage before code review.

Step 1: Run existing tests

/verify → all tests pass?
  Yes → Step 2
  No → fix failures → re-run /verify

Step 2: Test adequacy review (mandatory for code changes)

/codex-test-review → ✅ Tests sufficient?
  Yes → Step 3
  No → close gaps (Step 2a) → /codex-test-review --continue

Step 2a: Gap closure

| Gap Type | Remediation Command | |----------|-------------------| | Unit test missing/insufficient | /codex-test-gen → write tests → /verify | | Integration/E2E missing | /post-dev-test → write tests → /verify |

Step 3: Code review (auto-loop)

/codex-review-fast → ✅ Ready?
  Yes → Precommit Gate
  No → fix issues → re-run /codex-review-fast (auto-loop)

Freshness rule

If code changes after the latest ✅ Tests sufficient gate (e.g., fixes from code review), rerun /verify then /codex-test-review --continue before proceeding to precommit gate.

Testing Requirements

Follow @rules/testing.md for conventions (AAA, naming, evidence model). Follow @rules/testing-project.md for project-specific overrides (directories, runner, adequacy mode).

| Change Type | Test Requirements | |-------------|-------------------| | New Service/Provider | Must have corresponding unit test | | Modify existing logic | Existing tests pass + new logic tested | | Bug fix | Must add regression test | | New API endpoint | Integration test required | | Cross-service change | E2E test required |

Test File Mapping

Use project convention from @rules/testing-project.md. If no override is defined, follow ecosystem defaults:

| Source Pattern | Test Pattern | |---------------|-------------| | src/<module>/ | test/unit/<module>/ or test/<module>/ | | scripts/<name>.sh | test/scripts/<name>.test.js | | skills/<name>/SKILL.md | test/skills/<name>.test.js |

Output

• Implemented feature code + tests
• Test adequacy gate: ✅ Tests sufficient
• Review gate: ✅ Ready
• Precommit results: ✅ All Pass

Verification Checklist

• [ ] All tests pass (/verify)
• [ ] Test adequacy reviewed (/codex-test-review)
• [ ] Code review passed (/codex-review-fast ✅ Ready)
• [ ] Precommit passed (/precommit ✅ All Pass)
• [ ] No git add/commit/push executed

Doc Sync (after precommit Pass)

⚠️ Auto-triggered by @rules/auto-loop.md — behavior-layer rule, not hook-enforced.

Only when change maps to a feature under docs/features/. Target detection uses 3-level fallback — see /update-docs for algorithm details.

precommit Pass
  → Locate feature docs (see /update-docs 3-level fallback)
  → /update-docs docs/features/<feature>/2-tech-spec.md
  → /create-request --update docs/features/<feature>/requests/<date>-<title>.md
  → /codex-review-doc (per updated file)
  → Safety valve: new code diff? → back to review loop (see /update-docs)

Review Loop

MUST re-review after fix until PASS (per @rules/auto-loop.md)

Review → Issues found → Fix → Re-review → ... → ✅ Pass → Next step

Examples

Input: Implement a fee calculation method
Action: /codex-architect → /codex-implement → /verify → /codex-test-review → /codex-review-fast → /precommit

Input: This code needs refactoring
Action: /simplify → /verify → /codex-test-review → /codex-review-fast → /precommit

Input: Feature dev, continue (resuming work)
Action: Check git status → identify remaining tasks → continue from current phase
