Developing Software

End-to-end change-shipping closed loop for non-trivial work — research → proposal doc → phased guarded implementation → PR self-review → harden → merge. Use when taking a substantial change from idea to merged PR, when a task needs a written proposal before code, when implementing in reversible phases behind a guarded commit chain (assert + test + verify, all green before commit), or when self-reviewing your own PR. Complements automating-devops (which is the git/CI/release knowledge reference); this skill is the orchestration spine that sequences a change from zero to merged.
