wazimmerman/zimster
A software development workflow for coding agents.
Turn an ambiguous or consequential software request into a compact mission contract before implementation.
Delegate only genuinely independent workstreams with explicit ownership, budgets, and integration contracts.
Finish or hand off work with complete change inspection, fresh evidence, explicit commit disposition, and a safe branch outcome.
Execute an approved plan with one persistent implementation owner, explicit Git disposition, bounded delegation, and risk-triggered review.
Evaluate review findings technically, fix valid defects in a batch, and preserve evidence when pushing back.
Classify risk deterministically, review complete working-tree changes at architectural seams, and converge with one recheck.
Reproduce failures, isolate root cause with evidence, and fix them through a regression test.
Develop behavior through verified, behavior-specific RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycles and falsifiable tests.
Apply deterministic branch and worktree isolation policy without disturbing unrelated user changes.
Select the smallest Zimster workflow and risk profile that materially improves a software-development task.
Discover canonical project gates and require fresh, correctly classified evidence before any completion claim.
Convert an approved mission into a concise vertical-slice plan with risk profile, Git policy, and proof obligations.
