# Developer Workflow
## Overview
Developers (be-dev-1, be-dev-2, fe-dev-1, fe-dev-2, ux-dev) execute implementation tasks.
```
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ DEVELOPER WORKFLOW │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
1. CHECK NOTIFICATIONS
│ roboco_notify_list()
│ roboco_notify_ack(notification_id)
2. SCAN FOR WORK
│ roboco_task_scan(team="backend")
│ Look for:
│ ├── Tasks in "pending" assigned to ME
│ ├── Tasks in "pending" unassigned (can claim)
│ └── My paused tasks (should resume)
3. CLAIM TASK
│ roboco_task_claim(task_id)
│ ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ │ BEFORE: │
│ │ status: pending │
│ │ assigned_to: null OR my_id (if PM pre-assigned) │
│ │ │
│ │ AFTER: │
│ │ status: claimed │
│ │ assigned_to: my_id │
│ │ claimed_at: now │
│ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
4. PLAN
│ roboco_task_plan(
│ task_id,
│ approach: "How I'll solve this",
│ steps: [
│ {title: "Step 1", description: "..."},
│ {title: "Step 2", description: "..."}
│ ],
│ risks: ["Potential issue X"],
│ open_questions: ["Need to clarify Y"]
│ )
│ If questions → roboco_message_send() to PM
5. START WORK
│ roboco_task_start(task_id)
│ STATUS: claimed → in_progress
6. EXECUTE (loop)
│ ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ │ While working: │
│ │ │
│ │ roboco_task_progress(task_id, "Completed X", 25) │
│ │ roboco_task_progress(task_id, "Working on Y", 50) │
│ │ roboco_task_progress(task_id, "Almost done", 75) │
│ │ │
│ │ roboco_journal_entry({ │
│ │ type: "work_log", │
│ │ content: "What I did and learned" │
│ │ }) │
│ │ │
│ │ If BLOCKED: │
│ │ roboco_task_block(task_id, blocker_task_id) ← blocked by │
│ │ OR another task │
│ │ roboco_task_escalate(task_id, reason) ← need PM help │
│ │ │
│ │ If need to PAUSE: │
│ │ roboco_task_pause(task_id, reason, checkpoint, remaining) │
│ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
7. SELF-VERIFY
│ roboco_task_submit_verification(task_id)
│ STATUS: in_progress → verifying
│ ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ │ Self-check: │
│ │ ├── Does it meet acceptance criteria? │
│ │ ├── Did I run tests? │
│ │ ├── Is the code clean? │
│ │ └── Are my notes complete? │
│ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
8. SUBMIT FOR QA
│ roboco_task_submit_qa(task_id, {
│ notes: "What I built and how to test it",
│ test_instructions: "Steps to verify"
│ })
│ STATUS: verifying → awaiting_qa
DONE (for developer) → QA takes over
```
## If QA Fails
```
QA FAILS:
awaiting_qa ──qa_fail──► needs_revision
DEVELOPER SEES IT:
roboco_task_scan() shows "needs_revision" task
DEVELOPER CLAIMS AGAIN:
roboco_task_claim(task_id)
STATUS: needs_revision → claimed
DEVELOPER FIXES:
roboco_task_start(task_id)
... fix issues ...
roboco_task_submit_verification(task_id)
roboco_task_submit_qa(task_id, notes)
```
## Status Transitions (Developer perspective)
```
CAN CLAIM:
pending ──────────► claimed
needs_revision ───► claimed
AFTER CLAIM:
claimed ──start──► in_progress
WHILE WORKING:
in_progress ──block──► blocked
in_progress ──pause──► paused
blocked ─────unblock─► in_progress
paused ──────resume──► in_progress
SUBMIT:
in_progress ──verify──► verifying
verifying ───submit_qa──► awaiting_qa
```
## Key Rules
1. **CLAIM before anything** - Must claim to own the task
2. **PLAN before START** - roboco_task_plan() required before start()
3. **PROGRESS updates** - Keep PM informed with percentage
4. **JOURNAL your work** - Document decisions, learnings, struggles
5. **SELF-VERIFY first** - Check your own work before QA
6. **Cannot COMPLETE** - Only PM completes tasks after full workflow
7. **One task at a time** - Can't claim new task while one is in_progress
