Dilux Development Workflow · DDW
Your agent writes code fast. The process is what is missing.
DDW is a development pipeline your coding agent has to walk through: six phases in order, gates it cannot talk its way past, auditors that did not write the code they review, and state that survives closing the terminal.
The pipeline
Six phases, one at a time
CLASSIFY
Works out what you are asking for, reads your stack, opens a ticket and a branch.
DEFINE
The what and the why: a PRD validated against the codebase.
PLAN
The how and what could go wrong: spec and threat model. No approved spec, no code.
CODE
Implemented block by block with tests. Gate: suite green, SAST clean.
VERIFY
An agent that did not write the code checks it against the PRD and the spec.
RELEASE
Changelog, pull request, ticket and closeout, written into the repository.
Promise versus guarantee
A rule in a prompt is a promise. A rule in a hook is a guarantee.
Before every write, code outside the model reads the state and refuses what the current phase forbids. There is nothing to talk past, because the decision never reaches the model.
