Our assessment of development-workflows
development-workflows scores 97/100 on our quality scale, 131st of 2,878 Automation skills we index (top 5%).
Its Claude Commands is 14 KB long, well organised into 15 sections with 5 code examples: a thorough specification that gives an agent plenty to work with.
With 67,207 GitHub stars, it is one of the more widely adopted skills in the catalogue.
Maintenance, license and trust
- The repository was last updated 6 days ago, so development-workflows is actively maintained.
- Our last check on 2026-09-30 found the source still online.
- It is released under the MIT license, a permissive license that allows use, modification and commercial use with attribution.
- Its trust signals score 100/100, with no cautions. These come from repository metadata, not a code audit — read the skill file before letting an agent act on it.
Safety scan
No issues foundOur scan of the whole file found no instruction hijacking, hidden characters, credential access, data exfiltration or destructive commands. An AI review of the same text found nothing harmful.

Workflow — Development Workflows
Update the DEVELOPMENT WORKFLOWS table in README.md by researching 11 repos in parallel. Launch agents, merge results, present changes, update table if approved.

Table Format
The README table has these columns:
| Name | ★ | Workflow | <img src="!/tags/a.svg" height="14"> | <img src="!/tags/c.svg" height="14"> | <img src="!/tags/s.svg" height="14"> |
- Name:
[Short Name](github-url)— use project name, not owner/repo - ★: Star count rounded to
k(e.g., 98k, 10k, 4.1k). Under 1000 show exact number - Workflow: The canonical end-to-end pipeline as a flat left-to-right sequence of shields.io badges joined by
→. Each step is the actual command/skill/agent name from the repo (e.g./speckit.plan,bmad-create-prd,subagent-driven-development). Flat only — no parentheticals, no English qualifiers ("loop", "per story", "parallel waves"), no+connectors. If a step has internal sub-steps that matter, list them as siblings in the main chain and color them yellow (fff3b0) to mark them as sub-loops; top-level steps stay light blue (ddf4ff). Trace the README's "how to use" / "workflow" section for the canonical happy path: idea → spec/plan → tasks → implement → review → ship. - Agent/Command/Skill counts: Just the number (e.g.,
25,0,108+)
Workflow badge encoding (shields.io)
Each step renders as an HTML <img> tag with align="middle" (not markdown image syntax) so the arrow stays vertically centered with the badges. Two background colors:
| Color | Hex | When to use |
|---|---|---|
| Light blue | ddf4ff | Top-level workflow steps |
| Soft yellow | fff3b0 | Sub-loop steps (repeat per task/story/until verified inside a parent step) |
Template:
<img src="https://img.shields.io/badge/<ENCODED>-ddf4ff" alt="<plain-label>" align="middle"> <!-- top-level -->
<img src="https://img.shields.io/badge/<ENCODED>-fff3b0" alt="<plain-label>" align="middle"> <!-- sub-loop -->
The align="middle" puts the badge's vertical center at the text baseline, so the → arrow ends up centered on each badge instead of sitting at badge-bottom. Without it the arrow visibly drops below the badges in GitHub's rendering.
After the table closes, always include this legend as a blockquote on its own line:
> *Note: yellow tags are sub-loops — steps that repeat inside a parent step (e.g. per task, per story, or until a verify condition passes).*
Encoding rules for the <ENCODED> portion of the URL:
| Input character | Encoded as |
|---|---|
| / (leading slash) | %2F |
| - (literal dash) | -- |
| _ (literal underscore) | __ |
| (space) | _ |
| + | %2B |
| . and : | unchanged |
Examples:
/grill-me→%2Fgrill--me/speckit.plan→%2Fspeckit.plan/opsx:propose→%2Fopsx:proposebmad-create-epics-and-stories→bmad--create--epics--and--stories
Join steps with the literal arrow → (space-arrow-space) between the closing > of one img tag and the opening < of the next.
Do not wrap sub-steps in parentheses or annotate them with English ("loop", "per story", "+", "parallel waves"). If a step has an internal loop, just list the inner step names as siblings in the flat chain.
Sort order: Sorted by stars descending (highest first).
Phase 0: Read Current State
Read these files:
README.md— the## ⚙️ DEVELOPMENT WORKFLOWStable (note current stars, workflow pipelines, counts)changelog/development-workflows/changelog.md— previous changelog entries
Phase 1: Launch 2 Research Agents
Immediately spawn both agents in a single message (parallel). Each uses subagent_type: "development-workflows-research-agent".
Agent 1 (4 repos)
Research these 4 Claude Code workflow repositories:
Repo 1: github/spec-kit (https://github.com/github/spec-kit) Repo 2: affaan-m/everything-claude-code (https://github.com/affaan-m/everything-claude-code) Repo 3: obra/superpowers (https://github.com/obra/superpowers) Repo 4: mattpocock/skills (https://github.com/mattpocock/skills)
For EACH repo, return:
- Stars — use GitHub API
https://api.github.com/repos/{owner}/{repo}, readstargazers_count. Round tok.- Agent count — count
.mdfiles inagents/or.claude/agents/. For obra, also count implicit sub-agents dispatched by skills. For mattpocock, count is 0 (skills-only repo).- Skill count — count folders in
skills/or.claude/skills/. For mattpocock, count folders inskills/at repo root.- Command count — count
.mdfiles incommands/or.claude/commands/. For spec-kit, count files intemplates/commands/. For mattpocock, count is 0 (skills serve as slash commands).- Workflow — the canonical end-to-end pipeline as a flat left-to-right sequence of step names joined by
→. Trace the README's "how to use" / "workflow" section for the happy path: idea → spec/plan → tasks → implement → review → ship. Use the actual command/skill/agent names from the repo. Flat only — no parentheses, no English qualifiers ("loop", "per story", "parallel waves"), no+connectors. If a step has internal sub-steps, list them as siblings in the main chain. Mark each step as eithertop(top-level) orsub(sub-loop, repeats inside a parent step) so the orchestrator can color it. Output as plain text — the orchestrator will encode each step into a shields.io HTML img badge.- Notable changes — any significant recent changes? New agents/skills/commands, major versions?
Return structured report per repo:

Phase 2: Compare & Report
Wait for both agents. Then compare findings against the current table and present:

Phase 2.5: Append to Changelog
MANDATORY — always execute before presenting to user.
Read changelog/development-workflows/changelog.md, then append a new entry. If the file doesn't exist, create it with a Status Legend then the first entry.

Always append, never overwrite.
Phase 2.6: Update Last Updated Badge
MANDATORY — execute after Phase 2.5.
Update the badge on line 4 of README.md. Get time via TZ=Asia/Karachi date "+%b %d, %Y %-I:%M %p PKT", URL-encode it, replace the date in the badge. Do NOT log this as an action item.
Phase 3: Execute
Ask user: (1) Execute all | (2) Execute specific | (3) Skip
When executing, edit the ## ⚙️ DEVELOPMENT WORKFLOWS table in README.md:
- Update stars, counts, and the Workflow column per row
- Maintain sort order: stars descending (highest first)
- Match existing format exactly (icons, badge URLs, link style)
- For the Workflow column, encode each plain-text step th
