SKILL

workflows

The workflow for AI-assisted development: complexity detection (LOW/MEDIUM/HIGH), problem-type routing, branch strategy across repositories, and the create - analyze - implement - archive flow for a spec. Use when: starting work on a spec, deciding how much analysis a task needs, planning a change that spans several projects, checking which branch belongs where. Do NOT use for: the spec files' own layout (use the spec-structure skill), how to run tests (that is the testing rule).

Complexity detection LOW complexity (Quick Fix) MEDIUM complexity HIGH complexity Problem type routing (Quick Reference) Branch strategy The spec workflows See also -- Principle: Match the scope of the documentation to the complexity of the task. Grading: the grade is set once the code has been read, by the risk of the change. The criteria and two worked examples are in aide-analyze's complexity-and-analysis.md, section "Classification", and nowhere else. Each level below says what its grade means for the analysis and for the documents. Analysis scope: Read ONLY the mentioned file Documentation: Short and concise (< 200 lines total) Estimate: Minutes to hours (< 2 hours) -- Analysis scope: Find files related to the component/module Find related tests and usage sites, and stop there Documentation: Moderate detail (100-300 lines total) Estimate: Hours to days (2-16 hours) -- Analysis scope: Search the codebase broadly for patterns Categorize files by complexity Analyze API impact (frontend - backend) Identify edge cases and risks Documentation: Comprehensive analysis (300-800 lines total) Estimate: Days to weeks (1-10 days) -- Start every problem type from the project's OWN documenta
