Feature Development Workflow

Complete workflow for developing new features from design to deployment.

Phases

1. Architecture Design

Define:

  • Component structure
  • Data models
  • API contracts
  • Integration points
  • Dependencies

Output: Architecture diagram, component list, API specs

Agent: architect-review for complex features

2. Implementation Planning

Break down into:

  • Discrete tasks (< 2 hours each)
  • Dependencies between tasks
  • Parallel workstreams

Output: Task list with estimates

3. Implementation

Guidelines:

  • Write tests alongside code (TDD optional but helpful)
  • Commit frequently (atomic commits)
  • Follow existing patterns in codebase
  • Document as you go

Run parallel workstreams:

  • Core implementation
  • Tests
  • Documentation

4. Code Review

Checklist:

  • [ ] Code follows project conventions
  • [ ] No obvious bugs or edge cases missed
  • [ ] Performance acceptable
  • [ ] Error handling complete
  • [ ] Tests meaningful (not just coverage)

Agent: code-reviewer

5. Security Review

Check:

  • Input validation
  • Auth/authz on new endpoints
  • Sensitive data handling
  • No secrets in code

Agent: security-auditor (if auth-related)

6. Testing

Required:

  • Unit tests (80%+ coverage on new code)
  • Integration tests for API endpoints
  • E2E tests for critical paths

Agent: test-automator or debugger

7. Performance Check

Verify:

  • Response times acceptable
  • No memory leaks
  • Bundle size impact (frontend)

Agent: performance-engineer (if perf-sensitive)

8. Documentation

Update:

  • API docs (OpenAPI/Swagger)
  • User guide (if user-facing)
  • Changelog entry
  • README if needed

9. Deployment Prep

Checklist:

  • [ ] Version bumped
  • [ ] Changelog updated
  • [ ] Migration scripts (if DB changes)
  • [ ] Rollback plan documented
  • [ ] Feature flags (if gradual rollout)

Success Criteria

  • [ ] All tests pass
  • [ ] Security review clean
  • [ ] Performance within limits
  • [ ] Documentation complete
  • [ ] Code reviewed and approved
