Workflow

For New Projects

1. Idea: What problem does this solve?
2. Scope: Keep it focused and shippable
3. Build: Write the code
4. Test: Make sure it works
5. Document: Clear README
6. Ship: Push to GitHub
7. Share: Post about it

For Gists

1. Code: Working snippet
2. Context: Brief explanation
3. Create: Post to GitHub
4. Share: Include in posts

Project Standards

Every Repo Needs

• Clear README
• Working code
• License (MIT default)
• Installation instructions
• Example usage

Code Quality

• Clean and readable
• Well-commented where needed
• Follows language conventions
• No secrets or credentials

Build in Public

This skill supports the "build in public" approach:

• Share progress as you build
• Document decisions
• Show the messy parts
• Celebrate wins
• Learn from failures

Integration with Poster

After shipping, can auto-create posts:

Just shipped: [project name]
[What it does]
[Link to repo]
