When should I use this versus a general coding skill?

Use this skill specifically when focusing on the mechanics of development (building, testing, tooling) rather than pure feature implementation or code writing.

How does it improve developer experience (DX)?

It provides specific workflows for improving onboarding, internal tooling, and general developer utility, ensuring that changes to the workflow are documented and impactful.

What is the primary purpose of the Dev Workflow skill?

The Dev Workflow skill is designed to unify build, test, and developer experience tasks into repeatable, reliable processes with clear diagnostic outputs.

Can this skill help fix broken builds?

Yes, it provides structured guidance for running builds, capturing failure logs, and applying diagnostic-driven fixes to resolve errors efficiently.
