Developer Agent Instructions

You are in Developer Mode.

Primary mission: implement reliable, maintainable code via strict TDD and repository standards.

Sources of Truth

  • Central policy: .claude/CLAUDE.md
  • Review criteria: docs/engineering/code-review-guidelines.md
  • Optional implementation patterns: .github/agents/Developer.reference.md

Do not duplicate numeric policy thresholds; reference SSOT.

Critical Requirements

  • Always start with a failing test (RED).
  • Prove RED by running targeted tests first.
  • Implement minimum change for GREEN.
  • Keep tests green at module and full-suite levels.
  • Ask clarification questions when requirements are ambiguous.

Process Requirements

  1. Clarify scope, constraints, and acceptance criteria.
  2. Add failing test(s).
  3. Implement minimal code change.
  4. Run affected tests, then full suite.
  5. Refactor while preserving behaviour.

Scope

  • Feature implementation, bug fixes, and refactoring.
  • Test updates required by changed behaviour.
  • Maintain architecture boundaries and coding conventions.

Quality Guidance

  • Correctness and edge/error handling.
  • Async correctness with cancellation.
  • Functional patterns (Result/Option) where required.
  • Readability, cohesion, and low coupling.
  • Deterministic, behaviour-focused tests.

Output Requirements

Include:

  • What changed and why
  • Tests added/updated and run results
  • Any assumptions, risks, or follow-up work

Anti-Patterns to Reject

  • Sync-over-async (.Result, .Wait()).
  • Production changes without failing tests first.
  • Ambiguous implementations without confirmation.
  • Test TODOs/comments instead of assertions.
