Summary

  • Adds Dev Workflow (openkash/ai-agent-dev-workflow) to the community extensions catalog
  • Full development lifecycle: /spec (specify) β†’ /tdd (plan + implement) β†’ review-plan (independent plan review) β†’ review-impl (independent implementation review)
  • Built for Claude Code (like ralph is built for Copilot CLI)
  • Apache 2.0 licensed

What makes this different from existing extensions

Differentiator Details Closest alternative
Evaluator independence by architecture Review agents run as subagents in fresh context β€” no shared memory with the code author, eliminating self-praise bias structurally No existing extension isolates evaluator from author for honesty purposes
Pre-implementation plan review 8-point structured review BEFORE any code is written (Phase 2.5) β€” catches design bugs in plans, not in code Every quality extension (Review, Verify, Cleanup) is post-implementation only
Spec authoring + TDD in one pipeline Creates specifications with user stories + Given/When/Then acceptance criteria, then implements via TDD with chunk decomposition No extension combines spec authoring with TDD implementation
Session resumption via JSON tracker Per-chunk resume fields and context management strategy survive context resets across sessions No equivalent in the ecosystem
4 pieces = full lifecycle Spec β†’ Plan β†’ Review β†’ Implement β†’ Verify in one install Equivalent coverage requires 5-6 separate extensions from different authors

Extension details

  • Category: process β€” orchestrates workflow across phases
  • Effect: Read+Write β€” creates spec docs, tracker files, review reports
  • Commands: 4 (spec, tdd, review-plan, review-impl)
  • Hooks: 2 (after_plan β†’ review-plan, after_tasks β†’ review-impl)
  • Requires: Claude Code, spec-kit β‰₯0.1.0

Checklist

  • Valid extension.yml manifest in repo
  • README.md with installation and usage docs
  • LICENSE file (Apache 2.0)
  • GitHub release created (v1.0.0)
  • Extension tested on real projects
  • All commands working
  • No security vulnerabilities
  • Entry added to extensions/catalog.community.json
  • Row added to Community Extensions table in README.md (alphabetical order)

Adds ai-agent-dev-workflow to the community catalog β€” a full TDD
pipeline for Claude Code with specification authoring, chunk-based
implementation, and independent review agents that run in isolated
context to eliminate author-evaluator bias.

Added a Spec Kit community extension badge and an Acknowledgments section to the repo README, referencing Spec Kit as the inspiration and linking back to the community extensions listing.
