Execute each applicable call when its prerequisites are met.</p>\n<p>Execute Skill: llm-friendly-context before writing Agent prompts, handoffs, or generated artifacts.\nExecute Skill: subagents-orchestration-guide before making workflow decisions, invoking agents, or resolving findings.</p>\n<p><strong>Context</strong>: Test addition workflow for existing implementations (backend, frontend, or fullstack)</p>\n<h2>Orchestrator Definition</h2>\n<p><strong>Core Identity</strong>: \"I am an orchestrator.\"</p>\n<p><strong>Local authority gate</strong>: Make this recipe's workflow decisions and validate each returned result directly; delegate semantic deliverable production to the named specialist.</p>\n<p><strong>Review Resolution Gate [MANDATORY]</strong>: Resolve every actionable deliverable-review finding through subagents-orchestration-guide <code>Review Resolution</code> before correction or progression.\nBefore the first finding disposition, read <code>references/review-resolution.md</code> from the loaded subagents-orchestration-guide skill.</p>\n<p><strong>Execution Gate</strong>: Complete Steps 1-7 in order for each generated layer. Advance only through the current step's stated output or response gate; skip work only when its stated condition is false. Report completion after every layer has completed its review, quality, commit, and retained-limitation retry.</p>\n<p><strong>Why Delegate</strong>: Orchestrator's context is shared across all steps. Direct implementation consumes context needed for review and quality check phases. Subagents work in isolated context.</p>\n<p><strong>Execution Method</strong>:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Skeleton generation → delegate to acceptance-test-generator</li>\n<li>Test implementation → delegate to task-executor</li>\n<li>Test review → delegate to integration-test-reviewer</li>\n<li>Quality checks → delegate to quality-fixer</li>\n</ul>\n<p>At each Agent invocation below, build the prompt as a mechanical extraction: copy the named source values into the exact fields, apply only the declared serialization, then invoke immediately.</p>\n<p>Document paths: $ARGUMENTS</p>\n<h2>Prerequisites</h2>\n<ul>\n<li>At least one Design Doc must exist (created manually or via reverse-engineer)</li>\n<li>Existing implementation to test</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Execution Flow</h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Discover and Validate Documents</h3>\n<p>Confirm <code>$ARGUMENTS</code> names at least one existing document path; report and end when it is empty or every path is unresolvable. Then discover the remaining Design Docs, UI Specs, and PRDs under <code>docs/design/</code>, <code>docs/ui-spec/</code>, and <code>docs/prd/</code>.</p>\n<p>Classify discovered documents by filename:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Filename contains <code>backend</code> → <strong>Design Doc (backend)</strong></li>\n<li>Filename contains <code>frontend</code> → <strong>Design Doc (frontend)</strong></li>\n<li>Located in <code>docs/ui-spec/</code> → <strong>UI Spec</strong> (optional)</li>\n<li>Located in <code>docs/prd/</code> → <strong>approved PRD / confirmed requirement context</strong> (optional; prefer the path named by the Design Doc)</li>\n<li>None of the above → treat as single-layer Design Doc</li>\n</ul>\n<h3>Step 2: Skeleton Generation</h3>\n<p>Invoke acceptance-test-generator using Agent tool:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><code>subagent_type</code>: \"dev-workflows:acceptance-test-generator\"</li>\n<li><code>description</code>: \"Generate test skeletons\"</li>\n<li><code>design_docs</code>: Existing backend, frontend, or single-layer Design Doc paths from Step 1</li>\n<li><code>ui_spec</code>: Existing UI Spec path when present</li>\n<li><code>confirmed_requirement_context</code>: Approved PRD path or unchanged Design Doc Requirement Convergence record</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Follow subagents-orchestration-guide HC-06 for <code>value_input_required</code> and its unknown-value continuation before Step 3.</p>\n<p><strong>Expected output</strong>: <code>generatedFiles</code> containing integration and e2e paths</p>\n<h3>Step 3: Test Implementation</h3>\n<p>For each layer with generated skeletons, record the current HEAD as <code>diffBase</code>, then invoke the layer's task-executor:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Backend or single-layer → <code>subagent_type</code>: \"dev-workflows:task-executor\"</li>\n<li>Frontend → <code>subagent_type</code>: \"dev-workflows-frontend:task-executor-frontend\"</li>\n<li><code>description</code>: \"Implement integration tests\"</li>\n<li><code>direct_scope</code>: Implement every test defined by the layer-specific generated skeletons</li>\n<li><code>governing_sources</code>: Layer-specific Design Doc, applicable UI Spec, and generated skeleton paths</li>\n<li><code>target_paths</code>: Generated test paths plus the existing setup or fixture paths explicitly identified before invocation</li>\n<li><code>observable_verification</code>: Execute the implemented tests and verify every skeleton claim at its declared boundary</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Execute one layer at a time through Steps 3→4→5→6→7 before starting the next.</p>\n<p><strong>Expected output</strong>: <code>status</code>, <code>testsAdded</code>, <code>mutationEvidence</code></p>\n<p>Apply this response gate after every task-executor invocation in Steps 3 and 5:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>At least one changed integration/E2E test file and its implementation evidence are confirmed from the response and repository state → Proceed to Step 4</li>\n<li>Required implementation remains incomplete → Apply Specialist Result Acceptance and continue Step 3 while repository evidence supplies an advancing action</li>\n<li>A changed product outcome, major approved design change, user-held authority, or irreversible action is identified → Present that decision to the user</li>\n<li>Other result variations → Apply subagents-orchestration-guide Specialist Result Acceptance</li>\n</ul>\n<h3>Step 4: Test Review</h3>\n<p>Invoke integration-test-reviewer using Agent tool:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><code>subagent_type</code>: \"dev-workflows:integration-test-reviewer\"</li>\n<li><code>description</code>: \"Review test quality\"</li>\n<li><code>prompt</code>: \"Review test quality. changedTestFiles: [confirmed changed integration/E2E test paths]. diffBase: [revision recorded before Step 3]. skeletonFiles: [layer-specific paths from Step 2 generatedFiles]. mutationEvidence: [Step 3 mutationEvidence].\"</li>\n</ul>\n<p><strong>Expected output</strong>: <code>status</code> (approved/needs_revision/blocked), <code>testFiles</code>, <code>reviewBasis</code>, <code>qualityIssues</code>; correction re-review also returns <code>prior_feedback_reconciliation</code></p>\n<h3>Step 5: Apply Review Fixes</h3>\n<p>Check Step 4 result:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><code>status: approved</code> → Mark complete, proceed to Step 6</li>\n<li><code>status: blocked</code> → Apply Specialist Result Acceptance</li>\n<li><code>status: needs_revision</code> → Pass Step 4 <code>qualityIssues</code> unchanged into the Review Resolution Gate; invoke task-executor for rerouted corrections, return to Step 4, and derive convergence from <code>prior_feedback_reconciliation</code></li>\n</ul>\n<p>Invoke the same layer's task-executor:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><code>description</code>: \"Fix review findings\"</li>\n<li>Reuse Step 3 <code>direct_scope</code>, <code>governing_sources</code>, <code>target_paths</code>, and <code>observable_verification</code></li>\n<li><code>correction_findings</code>: Complete reviewer finding objects verbatim, with only their orchestrator dispositions added</li>\n</ul>\n<h3>Step 6: Quality Check</h3>\n<p>Invoke quality-fixer for the current layer:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Backend or single-layer → <code>subagent_type</code>: \"dev-workflows:quality-fixer\"</li>\n<li>Frontend → <code>subagent_type</code>: \"dev-workflows-frontend:quality-fixer-frontend\"</li>\n<li><code>description</code>: \"Final quality assurance\"</li>\n<li>Pass the latest executor's <code>mutationEvidence</code>.</li>\n<li><code>prompt</code>: \"Run the repository-configured quality checks applicable to the test files added in this workflow and verify their intended observable behavior.\"</li>\n</ul>\n<p><strong>Expected output</strong>: <code>status</code> (<code>approved</code>, <code>stub_detected</code>, <code>verification_incomplete</code>, or <code>blocked</code>)</p>\n<p>Check quality-fixer response:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><code>stub_detected</code> → Return to Step 3 with the quality-fixer's <code>incompleteImplementations</code> array unchanged as the canonical <code>incompleteImplementations</code> field, then re-execute Steps 3→4→5→6</li>\n<li><code>blocked</code> → Apply Specialist Result Acceptance</li>\n<li><code>verification_incomplete</code> → Retain the complete result for one final retry and proceed to Step 7</li>\n<li><code>approved</code> → Proceed to Step 7</li>\n</ul>\n<h3>Step 7: Commit</h3>\n<p>On <code>approved</code> or <code>verification_incomplete</code> from quality-fixer:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Apply subagents-orchestration-guide Commit Boundary Check, then commit test files using Bash with message format: \"test: add [layer] integration tests for [feature name]\". Append its verification trailers for <code>verification_incomplete</code>.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>After every layer has a clean commit boundary, retry each retained verification limitation once with the same layer quality-fixer inputs. Clear an <code>approved</code> result, route newly discovered incomplete implementation through Steps 3→6, and retain a repeated limitation for the completion report while continuing the workflow.</p>\n<p>In the completion report, list each repeated verification limitation and each declined actionable finding with its ID, governing reason, and evidence when any occurred.</p>\n","files":[{"path":"SKILL.md","sizeBytes":8249,"isText":true}],"reviewScore":null,"reviewSummary":null,"trust":{"provenance":"trusted-source-unreviewed","notice":"Community-authored content, reproduced verbatim and not vetted as instructions.
