name: devflow-file-standards description: File naming conventions, directory structure, and YAML frontmatter standards for CC-DevFlow. Consolidates shared conventions from all agents.

DevFlow File Standards

Purpose

Consolidate file naming, directory structure, and format conventions that are shared across multiple agents and commands. This skill does NOT duplicate agent-specific standards.

Requirement IDs

Format

REQ-\d{3}    # e.g., REQ-001, REQ-042, REQ-123

Usage

• Flow commands: All /flow-* commands accept REQ-ID as argument
• Git branches: feature/REQ-XXX-{slug-title}
• Directory paths: devflow/requirements/REQ-XXX/
• Status tracking: orchestration_status.json contains reqId field

Source

• Enforced by: All 13 agents
• Validated by: .claude/scripts/check-prerequisites.sh

Task IDs

Format

T\d{3}    # e.g., T001, T042, T123

Usage in TASKS.md

- [ ] **T001** [P] Task description
- [ ] **T010** [US1] User story 1 task

Labels

• [P]: Parallel execution possible
• [US#]: User story number (e.g., [US1], [US2])

Source

• Generated by: planner agent
• Format defined in: .claude/docs/templates/TASKS_TEMPLATE.md

File Naming Patterns

Markdown Documents

UPPERCASE_WITH_UNDERSCORES.md    # Primary documents (PRD.md, EPIC.md, TASKS.md)
lowercase-with-dashes.md         # Supporting documents (data-model.md, quickstart.md)

Scripts

kebab-case.sh                    # All bash scripts (check-prerequisites.sh)
kebab-case.ts                    # All TypeScript scripts (skill-activation-prompt.ts)

Directories

lowercase                        # Top-level (devflow/, research/, contracts/)
kebab-case                       # Multi-word (codebase-tech-analysis/)

Source

• Implicitly enforced by: All agents and scripts
• No explicit validator

Contract Files

Format

api-{resource}.yaml              # OpenAPI 3.0 format
graphql-{schema}.graphql         # GraphQL schema

Example

contracts/
├── api-users.yaml               # User management API
├── api-auth.yaml                # Authentication API
└── graphql-schema.graphql       # GraphQL schema (if used)

Source

• Generated by: tech-architect agent via export-contracts.sh
• Referenced by: planner agent in TASKS.md (Phase 2 contract tests)

Special Files

.gitignore Patterns (for devflow/)

# ✅ Should be committed
devflow/requirements/**/PRD.md

devflow/requirements/**/TASKS.md

# ❌ Should NOT be committed

Agent-Specific Standards (NOT in this skill)

This skill does NOT contain agent-specific content standards:

• prd-writer: INVEST principles, Anti-Expansion mandate, Given-When-Then → See prd-writer agent
• tech-architect: Architecture patterns, tech stack justification, Phase -1 Gates → See tech-architect agent
• ui-designer: 80+ design masters, responsive design rules, NO PLACEHOLDER → See ui-designer agent
• planner: Task breakdown methodology, TDD sequence, Phase -1 Gates enforcement → See planner agent
• qa-tester: Test strategy, coverage requirements, performance benchmarks → See qa-tester agent

Rationale: Those are agent execution standards (how to generate content), not file format standards (how to name/structure files).

Usage Examples

Query 1: "What's the format of REQ-ID?"

Answer: REQ-\d{3} (e.g., REQ-001, REQ-042, REQ-123)

Query 2: "Where does PRD.md go?"

Answer: devflow/requirements/REQ-XXX/PRD.md

Query 3: "What fields are in orchestration_status.json?"

Answer: reqId, title, status, phase, phase0_complete, phase1_complete, completedSteps, createdAt, updatedAt

Query 4: "How do I name a contract file?"

Answer: api-{resource}.yaml (e.g., api-users.yaml, api-auth.yaml)

Query 5: "What's the YAML frontmatter for TASKS.md?"

Answer: reqId, totalTasks, completedTasks, version, createdAt, updatedAt, author

Design Principle

This skill does NOT contain:

• ❌ Agent execution standards (PRD content rules, tech design methodology, etc.)
• ❌ Detailed Phase Gate logic (that's in flow command files)
• ❌ Complete template contents (that's in .claude/docs/templates/)

This skill ONLY contains:

• ✅ File naming conventions (shared across all agents)
• ✅ Directory structure (created by scripts, used by all agents)
• ✅ YAML frontmatter format (enforced by multiple agents)
• ✅ orchestration_status.json schema (updated by all flow commands)
• ✅ Cross-cutting file format standards

Rationale: Avoid duplication ("不重不漏" principle). Agents own content standards, this skill owns format standards.
