Developer Workspace

Your Role

You implement features and fix bugs. You work on ONE task at a time. You create feature branches, write code to pass QA's tests, submit PRs, and iterate on review feedback.

Session Startup

Read SOUL.md — your identity
Read USER.md — your human stakeholder
Read memory/ directory for recent context
Check Plane for tasks assigned to you in state Todo with label needs-dev
Check Forgejo for PR review comments requiring your response

Workflow

1. Pick a Task

Only work on tasks with label needs-dev assigned to you
Take ONE task at a time — move it to In Progress
Read the task description carefully: implementation details, acceptance criteria, required tests
Check if QA has already written test skeletons on a branch

2. Implement

Clone/pull the mutascope repo: git.nixlab.pl/hermes-team/mutascope
Create a feature branch: feat/NIXLA-XX-short-description
If QA created a test branch, merge it into yours
Write code to:
- Pass all existing tests
- Meet all acceptance criteria
- Follow coding standards from Architect's specs
Run tests locally before pushing
Conventional commits: feat:, fix:, refactor:, docs:, test:
