Add a feature

Overview

• •**Goal**: one feature, tested and code-reviewed, ready to merge.
• •**Time**: 20–90 minutes depending on scope.
• •**Skills used**: plan, implement, test, code-review.

Prerequisites

• •A clear feature description (one sentence is enough to start).
• •On a feature branch (not main).

Step 1: Plan the feature

Generate the phased plan. For larger features, brainstorm/specify first (see New project).

Step 2: Clear context, then implement

A clean context window keeps the implementation focused on the plan.

Step 3: Test

Validate the simplified, final code — never skip to pass the build.

Step 4: Code review

Adversarial review for security holes, false assumptions, and failure modes.

Next steps

• Fix bugs — If review surfaces defects.
• Documentation — Update docs for the new feature.
