What it contains

Complete coding-agent methodology using automatically triggered skills for brainstorming, worktrees, detailed plans, subagent development, TDD, review, and branch completion.

Typical uses

Make a coding agent automatically follow design→plan→TDD→review discipline across many supported harnesses.

Why people choose it

Inference: selected when automatic process enforcement is desired and one methodology may own the development flow.
