DevFlow File Standards

Purpose

Consolidate file naming, directory structure, and format conventions that are shared across multiple agents and commands. This skill does NOT duplicate agent-specific standards.

Requirement IDs

Format

REQ-\d{3}    # e.g., REQ-001, REQ-042, REQ-123

Usage

• Flow commands: All /flow-* commands accept REQ-ID as argument
• Git branches: feature/REQ-XXX-{slug-title}
• Directory paths: devflow/requirements/REQ-XXX/
• Status tracking: orchestration_status.json contains reqId field

Source

• Enforced by: All 13 agents
• Validated by: .claude/scripts/check-prerequisites.sh

Task IDs

Format

T\d{3}    # e.g., T001, T042, T123

Usage in TASKS.md

- [ ] **T001** [P] Task description
- [ ] **T010** [US1] User story 1 task

Labels

• [P]: Parallel execution possible
• [US#]: User story number (e.g., [US1], [US2])

Source

• Generated by: planner agent
• Format defined in: .claude/docs/templates/TASKS_TEMPLATE.md

File Naming Patterns

Markdown Documents

UPPERCASE_WITH_UNDERSCORES.md    # Primary documents (PRD.md, EPIC.md, TASKS.md)
lowercase-with-dashes.md         # Supporting documents (data-model.md, quickstart.md)

Scripts

kebab-case.sh                    # All bash scripts (check-prerequisites.sh)
kebab-case.ts                    # All TypeScript scripts (skill-activation-prompt.ts)

Directories

lowercase                        # Top-level (devflow/, research/, contracts/)
kebab-case                       # Multi-word (codebase-tech-analysis/)

Source

• Implicitly enforced by: All agents and scripts
• No explicit validator

Contract Files

Format

api-{resource}.yaml              # OpenAPI 3.0 format
graphql-{schema}.graphql         # GraphQL schema

Example

contracts/
├── api-users.yaml               # User management API
├── api-auth.yaml                # Authentication API
└── graphql-schema.graphql       # GraphQL schema (if used)

Source

• Generated by: tech-architect agent via export-contracts.sh
• Referenced by: planner agent in TASKS.md (Phase 2 contract tests)

Special Files

.gitignore Patterns (for devflow/)

# ✅ Should be committed
devflow/requirements/**/PRD.md
devflow/requirements/**/EPIC.md
devflow/requirements/**/TASKS.md
devflow/requirements/**/orchestration_status.json

# ❌ Should NOT be committed

Agent-Specific Standards (NOT in this skill)

This skill does NOT contain agent-specific content standards:

• prd-writer: INVEST principles, Anti-Expansion mandate, Given-When-Then → See prd-writer agent
• tech-architect: Architecture patterns, tech stack justification, Phase -1 Gates → See tech-architect agent
• ui-designer: 80+ design masters, responsive design rules, NO PLACEHOLDER → See ui-designer agent
• planner: Task breakdown methodology, TDD sequence, Phase -1 Gates enforcement → See planner agent
• qa-tester: Test strategy, coverage requirements, performance benchmarks → See qa-tester agent

Rationale: Those are agent execution standards (how to generate content), not file format standards (how to name/structure files).

Usage Examples

Query 1: "What's the format of REQ-ID?"

Answer: REQ-\d{3} (e.g., REQ-001, REQ-042, REQ-123)

Query 2: "Where does PRD.md go?"

Answer: devflow/requirements/REQ-XXX/PRD.md

Query 3: "What fields are in orchestration_status.json?"

Answer: reqId, title, status, phase, phase0_complete, phase1_complete, completedSteps, createdAt, updatedAt

Query 4: "How do I name a contract file?"

Answer: api-{resource}.yaml (e.g., api-users.yaml, api-auth.yaml)

Query 5: "What's the YAML frontmatter for TASKS.md?"

Answer: reqId, totalTasks, completedTasks, version, createdAt, updatedAt, author

Design Principle

This skill does NOT contain:

• ❌ Agent execution standards (PRD content rules, tech design methodology, etc.)
• ❌ Detailed Phase Gate logic (that's in flow command files)
• ❌ Complete template contents (that's in .claude/docs/templates/)

This skill ONLY contains:

• ✅ File naming conventions (shared across all agents)
• ✅ Directory structure (created by scripts, used by all agents)
• ✅ YAML frontmatter format (enforced by multiple agents)
• ✅ orchestration_status.json schema (updated by all flow commands)
• ✅ Cross-cutting file format standards

Rationale: Avoid duplication ("不重不漏" principle). Agents own content standards, this skill owns format standards.
