Automated summary
This skill describes a complete software development lifecycle (SDLC) workflow using MCP tools like Linear, Notion, Memory, GitHub, and Context7, with phases from intake to continuous improvement.
Strengths
- Clear and comprehensive end-to-end software lifecycle structure
- Task automation via MCP tools (ticket creation, branches, PRs)
- Integration of knowledge management (Memory) and exploration best practices
Limitations
- Requires prior configuration of all MCP tools (Linear, Notion, etc.)
- Workflow is very specific to environments using these tools, not generic
- Can be heavy for simple changes (typo, config) despite the triage
Use this workflow for structured development tasks requiring end-to-end tracking with Linear tickets, Notion documentation, and code reviews.
Avoid this workflow for quick, minor changes (e.g., typo fixes) where a lighter flow would be more efficient.
Security analysis
SafeThe skill describes a standard SDLC workflow using MCP tools for issue tracking, code search, documentation, and testing. Bash usage is limited to running test commands like `make test`, `npm test`, etc., which are common development tasks and not destructive or exfiltrating. No malicious instructions are present.

How this analysis is madeExamples
start work on feature X: add a search bar to the homepage, reference Linear issue ABC-123, and explore similar implementations in the codebase.work on bug fix for issue DEF-456: login fails on Safari, follow the full SDLC workflow including Notion context, branch creation, tests, and PR.implement a breaking change to the authentication system, using the OpenSpec proposal path with /openspec:proposal and creating subtasks in Linear.name: dev-workflow description: SDLC workflow with MCP tools. Triggers on "start", "implement", "work on", or unclear workflow.
SDLC: Intake → Triage → Explore → Plan → Code → Test → Review → Commit → Deploy → Improve
MCP Tools by Phase
| Phase | Tools |
|-------|-------|
| Intake | mcp__linear__get_issue, mcp__notion__notion-search |
| Explore | mcp__memory__search_nodes, mcp__github__search_code, mcp__context7__query-docs |
| Plan | mcp__linear__create_issue (subtasks), mcp__notion__notion-create-pages, mcp__github__create_branch |
| Code | mcp__context7__query-docs, Read, Write, Edit |
| Test | Bash (make test, npm test), /quick-test |
| Deploy | mcp__github__create_pull_request, /smoke-test |
| Improve | mcp__memory__create_entities, mcp__linear__create_issue |
Triage Decision
| Change Type | Path |
|-------------|------|
| New feature, breaking change, architecture | OpenSpec → /openspec:proposal |
| Bug fix, config, tests, typo | Quick → TodoWrite |
Phase Actions
Intake: Fetch Linear issue, search Notion for context
Explore: Search Memory for learnings, explore codebase, check related PRs
Plan: OpenSpec proposal OR TodoWrite, create branch
Code: Follow tasks, use platform rules, mark todos complete
Test: /quick-test, add tests for new logic
Review: /code-review, /security-scan if auth/data
Commit: /commit with type: description
Deploy: Create PR, run smoke tests after merge
Improve: Store learnings in Memory, create improvement tasks if needed
Quick Reference
# Backend
cd backend && make test
cd backend && make build
# Web
cd web && npm test
cd web && npm run build
# iOS
cd mobile/ios && make test
# Android
cd mobile/android && ./gradlew test
Anti-Patterns
- Coding without exploring → miss patterns
- Skipping Linear context → untracked work
- No Memory capture → repeat learnings
- Big commits → hard to review
From the file to a first result
The download contains exactly the content displayed on this page. This copy may differ from the latest version in the source repository.
View the source and supporting filesThis download contains SKILL.md only. Any scripts, references, templates and dependencies are not included. Get the required files from the source, preserving their directory structure, before continuing.
1. Download the file
Download SKILL.mdFrom the root of a test project, save the file as .skill-downloads/sdlc-workflow-with-mcp-tools-mmbiziqo/SKILL.md, or use the command below. This folder is for inspecting the skill before installation.
Command for macOS/Linux or WSL: requires a POSIX shell and curl. On Windows without WSL, use the download button and create the folder manually.
mkdir -p '.skill-downloads/sdlc-workflow-with-mcp-tools-mmbiziqo' && curl --fail --show-error --location 'https://skills-guides.com/api/skills/sdlc-workflow-with-mcp-tools-mmbiziqo/download' --output '.skill-downloads/sdlc-workflow-with-mcp-tools-mmbiziqo/SKILL.md.part' && mv '.skill-downloads/sdlc-workflow-with-mcp-tools-mmbiziqo/SKILL.md.part' '.skill-downloads/sdlc-workflow-with-mcp-tools-mmbiziqo/SKILL.md'2. Check prerequisites
Read SKILL.md before using it. If it references scripts or external services, inspect them and prepare the required access in your test environment.

The platforms on this page are catalog indications. The paths below follow tool documentation; they do not prove this skill has been run in those tools. No minimum tool version is confirmed for this listing.
3. Load the skill
After inspection, copy the complete folder into your project using one of the commands below, then open a new tool session. The command stops if a folder with the same name already exists: compare the files before replacing it.

OpenSkills must already be installed. The local install/read procedure is checked with OpenSkills 1.5.0, which requires Node.js ≥ 20.6.0. Catalog slugs are not resolved automatically.

For an agent that reads AGENTS.md, then sync the index. This command changes AGENTS.md: review the diff before using it.
openskills syncManual method or another tool: attach SKILL.md to a conversation, or open it in an agent that can read files. Include any required supporting resources. No universal folder is recognized by every tool.
4. Try a first task
Use a short, synthetic input: an API endpoint, a small document or an interface brief. In a new conversation, attach the file or give the agent its path, then adapt this request:
Read .skill-downloads/sdlc-workflow-with-mcp-tools-mmbiziqo/SKILL.md and apply its instructions to this example: [describe a test input]. Identify any missing files, dependencies or access. Produce the result requested by the skill without inventing data or running unreviewed scripts.Expected result: output matching the skill instructions, or a precise list of missing prerequisites. A read confirmation alone does not validate a first use. If an external resource is unavailable, that path remains untested.
React Hook Form Best Practices
Development
Master React Hook Form: avoid anti-patterns, manage subscriptions, and handle reset, dirty state, and controlled inputs correctly.
Emotion to Mantine Migration
Development
Migrate Emotion styled-components to Mantine components with style props and CSS modules. Use when converting .styled.tsx files or removing @emotion imports.
Scope Creep Detector
Development
Analyzes git diffs against a stated intent to detect scope creep, unrelated files, broad PRs, and oversized changes, then suggests keep, split, or justify actions.
