Best Practices
- Never skip RED: Always write failing tests first
- Small commits: One logical change per commit
- Immediate updates: Update plan.md right after task completion
- Wait for approval: Never skip checkpoint verification
- Rich git notes: Include context that helps future understanding
- Coverage discipline: Don't accept coverage below target
- Quality gates: Check all gates before marking complete
- Sequential phases: Complete phases in order
- Document deviations: Note any changes from original plan
- Clean state: Each commit should leave code in working state
- Fast feedback: Run relevant tests frequently during development
- Clear blockers: Address blockers promptly, don't work around them
