Sustainable software product development with your AI Code: 13 skills for the engineering lifecycle — plan, build, test, review, audit — built to keep architecture maintainable and clean and security first-class while agents write the code.
The working premise, drawn from field runs: even frontier models lose context, are confident when wrong, and forget rules — so nothing here relies on the model remembering; each goal gets a gate, a rule, or a deterministic check, and whether a PR may merge is

wai Front door and router for the wAI skill suite. Wai architecture audit Periodic, whole-codebase structural-health audit: architectural drift, coupling, god-services, dead code — and the subtle part, semantic redundancy, inconsistency and cross-surface dead-ends — measure Wai cicd One-time setup of GitHub-native CI/CD for a backend+web repo (Actions, GHCR, Docker Compose over SSH to your own Linux server, any provider) — and owner of the merge gate that makes "green checks" tru Wai implementation Default skill for implementing changes — the senior fullstack doer. Wai init Bootstrap and re-runnable updater for the wAI suite: deep-scans a repo, then writes its surface-scoped quality catalog (`docs/architecture/quality-attributes.md`) and testing strategy, sized to the pr Wai learning gap Personal learning mode (cloze coding + Leitner), tech-stack agnostic — opt-in per developer, never repo-wide. Wai mobile release One-time setup of build, code signing and store delivery for a native iOS or Android repo (TestFlight/App Store Connect, or Play Console tracks) — and owner of the mobile merge gate. Wai pr review Senior architecture/DevOps review of a pull request or diff against the quality catalog and the originating spec, ordered by severity — and owner of the gated auto-merge. Wai requirements planning Plans and shapes a new requirement before implementation — architecture, DevOps and the cross-cutting concerns (cost, GDPR, API compatibility, resilience, token economy) surfaced early, with a "grill Wai retro Periodic retrospective of the suite's own work, built from artifacts at a threshold — never from recall. Wai security audit Periodic, whole-codebase security audit — an adversarial "how would an attacker break this" sweep: authN/authZ and IDOR, secrets, injection (incl. Wai team Mandated lifecycle orchestrator: works ONE or MORE GitHub issues through the full lifecycle — per issue one run of plan → implement → test → review on its own `agent/` branch and PR, integrated seri Wai testing Writes deterministic tests and owns the testing strategy.
