EGC: Instructions file for Kiro

.kiro/steering/development-workflow.md

EGC development-workflow.md is an instructions file for Kiro from Fmarzochi/EGC. It costs 362 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A development workflow covering planning, test-first implementation, code review, and Git commits. TDD, or test-driven development, means writing a failing test before implementing the code that should make it pass.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan work, write tests first, implement and refactor, review the code, check coverage, and commit the result.
Why use it?
It gives non-trivial feature work an ordered process and adds checks before commands, file edits, and other guarded actions. This can reduce unplanned changes and catch problems before committing.

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

EGC development-workflow.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 23d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Development Workflow

This rule extends the git workflow rule with the full feature development process that happens before git operations.

The Feature Implementation Workflow describes the development pipeline: planning, TDD, code review, and then committing to git.

EGC Guardian Protocol — MANDATORY

These calls are automatic and non-negotiable. Never wait for the user to ask.

  • Start of every non-trivial task: call orchestrate_task({ prompt: "<task>" })
  • Before every shell/Bash command: call validate_command({ command: "<cmd>" })
  • Before every new file Write or Edit on a file not yet read: call validate_write({ filepath: "<path>", cwd: "<absolute working directory>" })

Skipping any of these breaks the EGC contract. There are no exceptions for "simple" tasks.

Feature Implementation Workflow

  1. Plan First

    • Use planner agent to create implementation plan
    • Identify dependencies and risks
    • Break down into phases
  2. TDD Approach

    • Use tdd-guide agent
    • Write tests first (RED)
    • Implement to pass tests (GREEN)
    • Refactor (IMPROVE)
    • Verify 80%+ coverage
  3. Code Review

    • Use code-reviewer agent immediately after writing code
    • Address CRITICAL and HIGH issues
    • Fix MEDIUM issues when possible
  4. Commit & Push

    • Detailed commit messages
    • Follow conventional commits format
    • See the git workflow rule for commit message format and PR process
Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
