## Description

AI DevKit · Orchestrator for structured SDLC phase skills. Use when the user wants to run the full lifecycle or choose the next phase across requirements, design, planning, implementation, testing, and review.

# Dev Lifecycle

Coordinate the phase-specific AI DevKit skills instead of running phase details directly.

Required phase skills:

- `dev-worktree` for feature workspace setup and resume.
- `dev-requirements` for phases 1-2: new requirement and requirements review.
- `dev-design` for phase 3: design review.
- `dev-planning` for phases 4 and 6: initial task planning and updates after implementation tasks.
- `dev-implementation` for phases 5 and 7: execute plan and check implementation.
- `dev-testing` for phase 8: write tests and verify coverage.
- `dev-review` for phase 9: final code review.

Supporting skills:

- `memory` for reusable project knowledge during clarification.
- `tdd` for implementation tasks.
- `verify` before completing implementation, implementation checks, testing claims, and review readiness.
- `dev-smoke` after Write Tests and before Code Review for user-facing changes.
- `dev-retro` after Code Review or PR: offer it, and run only if the user agrees.
- `task` for optional progress tracing when the task command is usable.
