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

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

## 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/**/EPIC.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.
