Code Dev Workflow

Use when the session is in code_dev mode.

Phases

  1. Explorecode_outline, grep, lsp_*, code_search (if enabled). Write scratchpad_write(key="phase", value="explore") and a file list to read.
  2. Readfile_read with start_line/end_line only. Summarize into scratchpad. Then phase=read.
  3. Authorfile_write skeleton first, then section-by-section updates. phase=author.

Rules

  • Never read entire large files without outline + line ranges.
  • Do not mirror document milestones into todo_write unless executing multi-step work.
