--- name: neural-cellular-automata-project-workflow description: Use for all neural cellular automata project workflow - manages memory files for plans, queries, tests, and commits --- # Neural cellular automata Project Workflow ## Overview This skill manages the neural cellular automata python project with persistent memory files. All work flows through these memory files to maintain project state and history. **Announce at start:** "I'm using the workflows kill." ## Memory Files | File | Purpose | |------|---------| | `memory\/plan.md` | Primary planning document - class designs, function prototypes, implementation steps | | `memory\/queries.md` | Log of all user queries\/requests made to Copilot | | `memory\/tests.md` | Test specifications and test cases | | `memory\/commits.md` | Commit summaries after each commit | ## Workflow Steps ### 1. Log Query **Every user request** must be logged to `memory\/queries.md`: ```markdown ## [YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM] Query ``` ### 2. Update Plan Before any implementation, update `memory\/plan.md` with: - Class definitions and prototypes - Implementation steps - Design decisions ### 3. Brainstorm & Design (use brainstorming skill) For new features\/classes: - Define class structures - Function prototypes with signatures - Design rationale ### 4. Implement with TDD (use test-driven-development skill) - Write tests first → document in `memory\/tests.md` - Implement minimal code - Run and verify ### 5. Commit & Log After each commit: - Add summary to `memory\/commits.md`: ```markdown ## [YYYY-MM-DD] **Message:** **Changes:** ``` ## Memory File Formats ### memory\/plan.md ```markdown --- name: plan description: This is the file for the plan of the repository --- ## Current Phase ## Classes ### ClassName - **Purpose:** - **Members:** - **Methods:** ## Implementation Steps - [ ] Step 1 - [x] Step 2 (completed) ``` ### memory\/queries.md ```markdown --- name: queries description: file with prompts made to the copilot. --- ## [YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM] ``` ### memory\/tests.md ```markdown --- name: tests description: Test specifications for the boid simulation --- ## TestSuiteName ### test_name - **Input:** - **Expected:** - **Status:** PASS\/FAIL\/PENDING ``` ### memory\/commits.md ```markdown --- name: commits description: Commit history summaries --- ## [YYYY-MM-DD] **Message:** **Changes:**

``` ## Remember - Always log queries first - Update plan before coding - Document tests before implementation - Log commits after successful commits - Use TDD: red → green → refactor
