Canonical Phase Order
explore- understand existing behavior and constraintspropose- define intent and scopeapply- implement tasks from approved planverify- validate behavior against spec and regressionsarchive- capture completion and close loop
Never skip a phase without explicit rationale.
Artifacts per Phase
- Explore: findings and risks
- Propose: change proposal with scope boundaries
- Apply: code + tests
- Verify: evidence of validation
- Archive: finalized summary and follow-ups
Exit Criteria
- Scope and risks understood before implementation
- Tests prove expected behavior
- Verification covers regressions
- Session summary captures learnings for next work
