Step 2/4 in full workflow

Full commit workflow: review, test, lint, and commit

Reviews code, runs tests, lints, and commits changes. Use when ready to commit work with quality checks.

Prerequisites (Verify First)

Before proceeding, confirm these steps are complete:

• /commit.review

Instructions

Goal: Pulls latest code and runs tests until all pass. Use after code review passes to verify changes work correctly.

Run Tests

Objective

Run the project's test suite and fix any failing tests until all tests pass.

Task

Execute the test suite for the project and iteratively fix any failures until all tests pass.

Process

1. Pull latest code from the branch

   • Run

     git pull

     to fetch and merge any changes from the remote
   • If there are merge conflicts, resolve them before proceeding
   • This ensures you're testing against the latest code

2. Detect or use the test command

   • If a test command was provided, use that
   • Otherwise, auto-detect the project type and determine the appropriate test command:
     • Python:

       pytest

       ,

       python -m pytest

       ,

       uv run pytest

     • Node.js:

       npm test

       ,

       yarn test

       ,

       bun test

     • Go:

       go test ./...

     • Rust:

       cargo test

     • Check

       package.json

       ,

       pyproject.toml

       ,

       Cargo.toml

       ,

       go.mod

       for hints

3. Run the tests

   • Execute the test command
   • Capture the output

4. Analyze failures

   • If tests pass, proceed to output
   • If tests fail, analyze the failure messages
   • Identify the root cause of each failure

5. Fix failing tests

   • Make the necessary code changes to fix failures
   • This may involve fixing bugs in implementation code or updating tests
   • Re-run tests after each fix

6. Iterate until passing

   • Continue the fix/test cycle until all tests pass

Quality Criteria

• Latest code was pulled from the branch
• All tests are passing

Context

This step runs after code review. Tests must pass before proceeding to lint and commit. This ensures code quality and prevents broken code from being committed. If tests fail due to issues introduced by the code review fixes, iterate on the fixes until tests pass.

Job Context

A workflow for preparing and committing code changes with quality checks.

The full workflow starts with a code review to catch issues early, runs tests until they pass, formats and lints code with ruff, then reviews changed files before committing and pushing. The review and lint steps use sub-agents to reduce context usage.

Steps:

1. review - Code review for issues, DRY opportunities, naming, and test coverage (runs in sub-agent)
2. test - Pull latest code and run tests until they pass
3. lint - Format and lint code with ruff (runs in sub-agent)
4. commit_and_push - Review changes and commit/push

Work Branch

Use branch format:

deepwork/commit-[instance]-YYYYMMDD

• If on a matching work branch: continue using it
• If on main/master: create new branch with

  git checkout -b deepwork/commit-[instance]-$(date +%Y%m%d)

Outputs

Required outputs:

• tests_passing

Guardrails

• Do NOT skip prerequisite verification if this step has dependencies
• Do NOT produce partial outputs; complete all required outputs before finishing
• Do NOT proceed without required inputs; ask the user if any are missing
• Do NOT modify files outside the scope of this step's defined outputs

Quality Validation

Before completing this step, you MUST have your work reviewed against the quality criteria below.

Use a sub-agent (Haiku model) to review your work against these criteria:

Criteria (all must be satisfied):

1. Latest code was pulled from the branch
2. All tests are passing Review Process:
3. Once you believe your work is complete, spawn a sub-agent using Haiku to review your work against the quality criteria above
4. The sub-agent should examine your outputs and verify each criterion is met
5. If the sub-agent identifies valid issues, fix them
6. Have the sub-agent review again until all valid feedback has been addressed
7. Only mark the step complete when the sub-agent confirms all criteria are satisfied

On Completion

1. Verify outputs are created
2. Inform user: "full step 2/4 complete, outputs: tests_passing"
3. Continue workflow: Use Skill tool to invoke

   /commit.lint
