Universal Development

Universal Development

Version: 1.0.0 Category: Universal Deployment Mode: flat (recommended)

Bundle Purpose

Language-agnostic development methodologies and best practices applicable to any programming project. Essential practices for quality, debugging, and professional development workflows across all technology stacks.

Included Skills

• test-driven-development (universal/testing/test-driven-development) - TDD methodology
• systematic-debugging (universal/debugging/systematic-debugging) - Root cause analysis
• verification-before-completion (universal/debugging/verification-before-completion) - Quality gates
• software-patterns (universal/architecture/software-patterns) - Design patterns and anti-patterns
• git-workflow (universal/collaboration/git-workflow) - Branch strategies and conventions
• writing-plans (universal/collaboration/writing-plans) - Technical planning documents

Use Cases

When to Deploy This Bundle:

• Starting any new software project (language-independent)
• Onboarding junior developers to best practices
• Establishing team development standards
• Projects requiring formal planning and documentation
• Teams struggling with technical debt or bugs

What You Get:

• Test-driven development red-green-refactor cycles
• Systematic debugging methodologies
• Pre-deployment verification checklists
• Common design patterns (Factory, Strategy, Observer, etc.)
• Git branching strategies (GitFlow, trunk-based)
• Technical planning templates

Deployment

# Recommended: Flat deployment to .claude/
./deploy.sh --flat ~/.claude/

# Validate before deploying
./deploy.sh --validate

Skill Compatibility Matrix

Bundle Synergies:

• TDD + systematic-debugging: Test failures guide debugging
• software-patterns + TDD: Design patterns emerge from refactoring
• git-workflow + writing-plans: Branch-per-plan workflow
• verification-before-completion + TDD: Quality gates before merge

Integration Example

# TDD + Git Workflow
git checkout -b feature/user-authentication

# Red: Write failing test
pytest tests/test_auth.py::test_login  # FAIL

# Green: Implement minimal code
# Edit src/auth.py
pytest tests/test_auth.py::test_login  # PASS

# Refactor: Apply software patterns
# Extract Strategy pattern for auth providers
pytest tests/test_auth.py  # All PASS

# Verification before completion
./scripts/verify.sh  # Run all checks

# Commit and push
git add .
git commit -m "feat: add user authentication"
git push origin feature/user-authentication

Workflow Integration

1. Planning Phase: Use writing-plans to document architecture
2. Development Phase: Apply test-driven-development for implementation
3. Debugging Phase: Use systematic-debugging for root cause analysis
4. Review Phase: Apply software-patterns to identify improvements
5. Pre-Merge: Use verification-before-completion checklist
6. Collaboration: Follow git-workflow for branching strategy
