Optimized workflows and context engineering for modern JavaScript/TypeScript development.

🚀 Quick Start

New here? Start with: START-HERE.md

📋 What's Inside

4 Core Workflows

• greenfield-new-project.yaml - Start new projects (5-7 days)
• brownfield-modernize-existing.yaml - Modernize legacy (3-5 days)
• feature-addition.yaml - Add features (2hrs-10days)
• maintenance-fixes-updates.yaml - Fix/optimize (2hrs-3days)

Advanced Tools

• Token Tracking - Real-time monitoring with alerts

🎯 Quick Decision

Do you have code?
├─ NO  → workflows/greenfield-new-project.yaml
└─ YES → Is it modernized?
    ├─ NO  → workflows/brownfield-modernize-existing.yaml
    └─ YES → What do you need?
        ├─ Add features → workflows/feature-addition.yaml
        └─ Fix/update  → workflows/maintenance-fixes-updates.yaml
