Developer Coding
Use this skill when the user asks Developer Studio to add, fix, refactor, or test code in a repository.
Work in this order:
- Confirm the active workspace, branch, approval mode, and dirty state.
- Create or update a concise todo plan for anything beyond a tiny edit.
- Read the smallest set of files that explains the behavior.
- Make surgical edits with Developer-native write or patch tools so the Inspector can track them.
- Respect execution mode. In Docker Sandbox mode, edits and commands create pending sandbox changes; import them into the real repo only after the user approves.
- Run focused tests first. Broaden test scope when the change touches shared behavior.
- Review the final diff and explain what changed, what passed, and what remains unverified.
Keep progress visible. Before a long inspection, edit, or test cluster, write a short sentence telling the user what you are doing.
