Quetrex Development Workflow Skill
Purpose: Bootstrap new Claude Code sessions with complete Quetrex project context and enable efficient issue-driven development.
When to Use:
- At the start of any new Claude Code session working on Quetrex
- When you need to understand what work is pending
- When creating issues for AI agent automation
- When deciding what to work on next
Quick Reference
Key Commands
# Query pending issues
gh issue list --label "ai-feature" --state open
# Query recent completed work
gh pr list --state merged --limit 10
# Create issue for AI agent
gh issue create --template ai-feature.md --label ai-feature
# Trigger workflow manually
gh workflow run "Quetrex AI Agent Worker" -f issue_number=123

1. What is Quetrex?
Quetrex is a voice-first AI agent control center - a mission control dashboard for managing multiple AI-powered projects.
Core Capabilities
- Voice-driven requirements gathering (OpenAI Realtime API)
- Automatic spec generation (Claude AI)
- Spec approval workflow with versioning
- Automated agent spawning via GitHub Actions
- Real-time monitoring and analytics
- Cost tracking and controls
- Security-first architecture (3-phase model)
Tech Stack
- Frontend: Next.js 15.5, React 19, TypeScript (strict), TailwindCSS, ShadCN UI
- Backend: Next.js API Routes, Drizzle ORM, PostgreSQL
- AI/Voice: Claude Sonnet 4.5, OpenAI Realtime API, Whisper, TTS
- Infrastructure: Vercel Edge Runtime, Docker containers, GitHub Actions
2. How the Automation Works
Trigger Flow
1. Create GitHub Issue
└─> Use "AI Feature Request" template
└─> Add "ai-feature" label
2. GitHub Actions Triggers
└─> .github/workflows/ai-agent.yml activates
└─> Runs in secure Docker container
3. Agent Worker Executes
└─> Fetches issue details
└─> Loads project context from .quetrex/memory/
└─> Builds comprehensive prompt
└─> Executes via Claude Code CLI
4. Implementation Phase
└─> Agent uses specialized sub-agents:
- orchestrator (complex features)
- test-writer (TDD first)
- implementation (code)
- code-reviewer (quality)
5. Quality Gates
└─> PreToolUse: Blocks dangerous commands
└─> PostToolUse: Validates changes
└─> Stop: Unbypassable final gate
└─> Tests, coverage, linting, build
6. Pull Request Created
└─> Feature branch pushed
└─> PR with detailed description
└─> Ready for human review
Constraints Per Issue
- Max execution time: 45 minutes
- Max API calls: 150
- Max file changes: 75
- Tests required: Configurable (currently false)
3. Creating Effective Issues
Issue Template Location
.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/ai-feature.md
What Makes a Good AI-Agent Issue
DO:
- Be specific about what needs to be built
- List acceptance criteria as checkboxes
- Reference existing files/patterns to follow
- Specify testing requirements
- Include priority level
DON'T:
- Be vague ("make it better")
- Combine multiple unrelated tasks
- Skip acceptance criteria
- Forget to add
ai-featurelabel
Example Well-Structured Issue
## Summary
Add cost tracking display to project cards in dashboard
## Description
Each project card should show the current month's API costs
with a small trend indicator (up/down arrow).
## Acceptance Criteria
- [ ] Cost displayed in USD format ($X.XX)
- [ ] Trend arrow shows increase/decrease from last week
- [ ] Tooltip shows breakdown by provider (OpenAI/Anthropic)
- [ ] Updates every 5 minutes via React Query
## Technical Context
**Relevant Files:**
- `src/components/ProjectCard.tsx` - Add cost display
- `src/services/cost-tracker.ts` - Use existing service
- `src/hooks/useDashboard.ts` - Add cost query
**Patterns to Follow:**
- Use existing stats display pattern from dashboard header
- Follow cost formatting from SettingsPanel
## Testing Requirements
- [x] Unit tests required (cost formatting)
- [x] Integration tests required (API integration)
- [ ] E2E tests required
- [ ] Visual regression tests required
## Priority
- [x] P1 - High (needed soon)
4. Current Project Status
How to Query Live State
# Open issues ready for AI agent
gh issue list --label "ai-feature" --state open --json number,title,labels
# Recently completed work
gh pr list --state merged --limit 5 --json number,title,mergedAt
# Current branch status
git status
git log --oneline -5
Status File Location
.quetrex/status.yml - Maintained snapshot of:
- Current phase
- Active focus areas
- Completion percentages
- Recent milestones

5. Architecture Decisions
Key ADRs to Know
| ADR | Decision | Status | |-----|----------|--------| | ADR-001 | Browser native echo cancellation | Accepted | | ADR-002 | Drizzle ORM for Edge Runtime | Accepted | | ADR-006 | Claude Code CLI over Anthropic SDK | Active |
Security Architecture (3-Phase)
-
Phase 1 (Complete): Docker containerization
- Read-only filesystem, non-root user
- Resource limits, capability dropping
-
Phase 2 (In Production): Credential proxy
- No credentials in container environment
- Unix socket validation, audit logging
-
Phase 3 (Q1 2026): gVisor migration
- User-space kernel for maximum isolation
Agent Execution Architecture
We use Claude Code CLI, NOT direct Anthropic SDK.
Reasons:
- Built-in specialized agents (orchestrator, test-writer, code-reviewer)
- Quality hooks (PreToolUse, PostToolUse, Stop)
- Automatic updates from Anthropic
- No maintenance burden for tool execution
See: .claude/docs/ARCHITECTURE-AGENT-WORKER.md
6. Quality Enforcement
6-Layer Defense System
- PreToolUse Hook - Blocks dangerous commands
- PostToolUse Hook - Validates every file change
- Stop Hook - Unbypassable quality gate
- TypeScript Strict - No
any, no@ts-ignore - Test Coverage - 75%+ overall, 90%+ services
- CI/CD - Prevents merge if any check fails
Test Requirements
Overall: 75%+ (enforced)
src/services/: 90%+ (enforced)
src/utils/: 90%+ (enforced)
Components: 60%+ (enforced)
TDD Workflow (Mandatory)
- Write test describing behavior
- Verify test FAILS (red)
- Write minimal code to pass
- Verify test PASSES (green)
- Refactor while keeping green

8. Common Workflows
Starting a New Feature
# 1. Check what's pending
gh issue list --label "ai-feature" --state open
# 2. If nothing suitable, create new issue
gh issue create --template ai-feature.md
# 3. Add label to trigger automation
gh issue edit <number> --add-label "ai-feature"
# 4. Or work on it directly from here
# (for complex features or when you want more control)
Reviewing AI Agent Work
# Check recent PRs
gh pr list --author "github-actions[bot]" --state open
# Review specific PR
gh pr view <number>
gh pr diff <number>
# Merge if approved
gh pr merge <number> --squash
Debugging Failed Runs
# List recent workflow runs
gh run list --workflow="ai-agent.yml" --limit 5
# View specific run
gh run view <run-id>
# Download logs
gh run download <run-id> -n agent-logs-<issue-number>
