Mint mint

Structured development workflow that auto-routes coding tasks to the right execution mode — quick fixes, multi-step plans, research, shipping, or verification. Enforces quality gates (lint, types, tests), multi-stage code review, and atomic commits. Use when starting a feature, fixing a bug, refactoring code, planning implementation, shipping a release, or running quality checks.

mint

Disciplined agentic development — fresh context per task, zero slop. Routes every coding task to the right execution mode, enforces quality gates, and manages multi-stage review pipelines.

Quick Start

Invoke

mint

via the Skill tool with a task description. mint auto-detects the right mode:

Mode	When	What it does
quick	Task touches ≤3 files, scope obvious	Direct implementation with quality gates
plan	Multi-file changes, ambiguous scope	Decomposes into specs, implements in phases
ship	Multiple features, "build all"	Parallel spec execution with coordinated review
research	"How to", "compare", investigation	Structured research with documented findings
verify	"Check gates", "audit"	Runs lint, types, tests and reports status

Routing Logic

The full orchestrator at

skills/mint/SKILL.md

evaluates signals in order — first match wins. Override with "just quick-fix it" or "plan this out" to force a mode.

What mint Enforces

Quality gates — lint + types + tests before every commit
Multi-stage review — spec review, then parallel audit (quality, security, conventions, tests)
Atomic commits — one commit per logical change, never push (human reviews and pushes)
Context protection — heavy work delegated to subagents, main context stays clean
