Adds UX-specific tasks to the development plan. Runs AFTER the core plan
skill completes. Only activates in ARCHITECT mode — BUILD mode plans are
lightweight and don't need separate UX tasks.
Review the plan and add these UX tasks at appropriate points in the task sequence.
Add before the first implementation task:
Usability test the design (before code):
If real user testing isn't feasible, substitute:
Insert after every user-facing component is implemented:
Heuristic spot-check:
Add after the final implementation task, before merge:
Usability test the implementation (after code):
Accessibility audit:

Branch-per-initiative git discipline for all delivery workflows. Defines branch naming by workflow, the propose-confirm creation protocol, dirty-tree and detached-HEAD handling, the always user-gated merge protocol, worktree support for parallel sessions, and abandonment cleanup. Activates only in git repositories — silently inactive everywhere else. Use when starting /build, /fix, /architect, or /build-x at Standard+ scope, when resuming an initiative, when offering a merge at a completion checkpoint, or when the user wants a second concurrent initiative.
development
Drives task-by-task execution from an approved plan with quality gates between each task. Reads the plan, finds the next incomplete task, dispatches implementation, validates, updates progress, and continues. Use after a plan is approved and the user says "go", "start building", "execute the plan", or "implement the feature".
testing
Preserves and restores context across agent sessions using plan file checkboxes as source of truth. Use when starting a new session, resuming previous work, ending a session, or when the user says "continue from last time", "what was I doing", or "save progress".
tools
Captures agent mistakes, corrections, and discovered gotchas so they are not repeated. Use when: (1) a command or operation fails unexpectedly, (2) the user corrects the agent, (3) the agent discovers non-obvious behavior through debugging, (4) an API or tool behaves differently than expected, (5) a better approach is found for a recurring task. Also searches past learnings before starting tasks to avoid known pitfalls. Activate alongside the sage-memory skill — they share the same MCP backend but serve different purposes (sage-memory = codebase knowledge, sage-self-learning = agent mistakes and gotchas).
