Workflow.
Level-based rigor scaling. Workflow commands. YAML status persistence. Sprint planning. Self-verification protocols.
Phase-Gated Project Lifecycle.
Different projects need different rigor. A weekend prototype should not have the same gates as a production payment system. This skill defines four rigor LEVELS (1=spike, 2=internal, 3=production, 4=safety-critical) and scales the gates appropriately. Plus: YAML-based status files that survive context resets, and the conductor protocol for multi-session feature work.
Four recipes.
Four rigor levels
L1 spike: code only, no tests. L2 internal: code + smoke tests + manual review. L3 production: full TDD + multi-perspective review + perf check. L4 safety-critical: + formal verification + threat model.
Phase gates
Brief, Spec, Plan, Implement, Verify, Ship. Each gate has explicit go/no-go criteria. No skipping. Document the override if you do.
YAML status persistence
Project state in .claude/status.yml: current phase, blockers, last decisions. Survives compaction. Any session can pick up where the previous left off.
Conductor protocol
Context-Driven Development: context, spec, plan, implement. Prevents jumping to code. Maintains decision log. Multi-session continuity.
It composes.
Skills compose into workflows. Workflow is rarely the only skill you will use — it pairs naturally with these others in the library.
One command.
Installs only stryx-workflow (skip the other 19) into ~/.claude/skills/stryx-workflow/.
