Skill Metadata

Name
mcaf-devex
Description
"Fix local setup, run, debug, test, or onboarding friction using reproducible repository commands. Use when contributor workflows are missing, inconsistent, or slow."

MCAF: Developer Experience

Read root/local AGENTS.md, current onboarding, scripts, service wiring, and the concrete setup failure.

Workflow

  1. Trace prerequisites through first build, real service startup, debug, tests, and cleanup. Identify the fragile step before adding tooling.
  2. Prefer the existing supported command path and real services, containers, or sandboxes. Use cross-platform or containerized setup only where it solves the observed problem.
  3. Teach MCAF-ARCH-001 with the repository map and one real canonical slice across all applicable surfaces.
  4. Teach MCAF-REQ-001 by linking that slice's requirements, acceptance, ADR decision, tasks, tests, and evidence.
  5. Complete the requested script/config/doc changes, self-review the entire path, then verify the affected setup or command in one planned phase.
  6. Explain required credentials and common failures without embedding secrets. Get approval before changing architecture, dependencies, or production topology.

Deliver a reproducible workflow and concise onboarding instructions grounded in actual commands and observed results.
