Quetrex Development Workflow Skill

Purpose: Bootstrap new Claude Code sessions with complete Quetrex project context and enable efficient issue-driven development.

When to Use:

• At the start of any new Claude Code session working on Quetrex
• When you need to understand what work is pending
• When creating issues for AI agent automation
• When deciding what to work on next

---

Quick Reference

Key Commands

1. What is Quetrex?

Quetrex is a voice-first AI agent control center - a mission control dashboard for managing multiple AI-powered projects.

Core Capabilities

• Voice-driven requirements gathering (OpenAI Realtime API)
• Automatic spec generation (Claude AI)
• Spec approval workflow with versioning
• Automated agent spawning via GitHub Actions
• Real-time monitoring and analytics
• Cost tracking and controls
• Security-first architecture (3-phase model)

Tech Stack

• Frontend: Next.js 15.5, React 19, TypeScript (strict), TailwindCSS, ShadCN UI
• Backend: Next.js API Routes, Drizzle ORM, PostgreSQL
• AI/Voice: Claude Sonnet 4.5, OpenAI Realtime API, Whisper, TTS
• Infrastructure: Vercel Edge Runtime, Docker containers, GitHub Actions

2. How the Automation Works

Trigger Flow

1. Create GitHub Issue
   └─> Use "AI Feature Request" template
   └─> Add "ai-feature" label

2. GitHub Actions Triggers
   └─> .github/workflows/ai-agent.yml activates
   └─> Runs in secure Docker container

3. Agent Worker Executes
   └─> Fetches issue details
   └─> Loads project context from .quetrex/memory/
   └─> Builds comprehensive prompt
   └─> Executes via Claude Code CLI

4. Implementation Phase
   └─> Agent uses specialized sub-agents:
       - orchestrator (complex features)
       - test-writer (TDD first)
       - implementation (code)
       - code-reviewer (quality)

5. Quality Gates
   └─> PreToolUse: Blocks dangerous commands
   └─> PostToolUse: Validates changes
   └─> Stop: Unbypassable final gate
   └─> Tests, coverage, linting, build

6. Pull Request Created
   └─> Feature branch pushed
   └─> PR with detailed description
   └─> Ready for human review

Constraints Per Issue

• Max execution time: 45 minutes
• Max API calls: 150
• Max file changes: 75
• Tests required: Configurable (currently false)

3. Creating Effective Issues

Issue Template Location

.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/ai-feature.md

What Makes a Good AI-Agent Issue

DO:

• Be specific about what needs to be built
• List acceptance criteria as checkboxes
• Reference existing files/patterns to follow
• Specify testing requirements
• Include priority level

DON'T:

• Be vague ("make it better")
• Combine multiple unrelated tasks
• Skip acceptance criteria
• Forget to add ai-feature label

Example Well-Structured Issue

## Summary
Add cost tracking display to project cards in dashboard

## Description
Each project card should show the current month's API costs
with a small trend indicator (up/down arrow).

## Acceptance Criteria
- [ ] Cost displayed in USD format ($X.XX)
- [ ] Trend arrow shows increase/decrease from last week
- [ ] Tooltip shows breakdown by provider (OpenAI/Anthropic)
- [ ] Updates every 5 minutes via React Query

## Technical Context
**Relevant Files:**
- `src/components/ProjectCard.tsx` - Add cost display
- `src/services/cost-tracker.ts` - Use existing service
- `src/hooks/useDashboard.ts` - Add cost query

**Patterns to Follow:**
- Use existing stats display pattern from dashboard header
- Follow cost formatting from SettingsPanel

## Testing Requirements
- [x] Unit tests required (cost formatting)
- [x] Integration tests required (API integration)
- [ ] E2E tests required
- [ ] Visual regression tests required

## Priority
- [x] P1 - High (needed soon)

4. Current Project Status

How to Query Live State

# Open issues ready for AI agent
gh issue list --label "ai-feature" --state open --json number,title,labels

# Recently completed work
gh pr list --state merged --limit 5 --json number,title,mergedAt

# Current branch status
git status
git log --oneline -5

Status File Location

.quetrex/status.yml - Maintained snapshot of:

• Current phase
• Active focus areas
• Completion percentages
• Recent milestones

Project Checklist

docs/PROJECT-CHECKLIST.md - Comprehensive tracking:

• Feature completion by category
• Blockers and dependencies
• Priority levels
• Time estimates

5. Architecture Decisions

Key ADRs to Know

ADR	Decision	Status
ADR-001	Browser native echo cancellation	Accepted
ADR-002	Drizzle ORM for Edge Runtime	Accepted
ADR-006	Claude Code CLI over Anthropic SDK	Active

Security Architecture (3-Phase)

1. Phase 1 (Complete): Docker containerization

   • Read-only filesystem, non-root user
   • Resource limits, capability dropping

2. Phase 2 (In Production): Credential proxy

   • No credentials in container environment
   • Unix socket validation, audit logging

3. Phase 3 (Q1 2026): gVisor migration

   • User-space kernel for maximum isolation

Agent Execution Architecture

We use Claude Code CLI, NOT direct Anthropic SDK.

Reasons:

• Built-in specialized agents (orchestrator, test-writer, code-reviewer)
• Quality hooks (PreToolUse, PostToolUse, Stop)
• Automatic updates from Anthropic
• No maintenance burden for tool execution

See: .claude/docs/ARCHITECTURE-AGENT-WORKER.md

6. Quality Enforcement

6-Layer Defense System

1. PreToolUse Hook - Blocks dangerous commands
2. PostToolUse Hook - Validates every file change
3. Stop Hook - Unbypassable quality gate
4. TypeScript Strict - No any, no @ts-ignore
5. Test Coverage - 75%+ overall, 90%+ services
6. CI/CD - Prevents merge if any check fails

Test Requirements

Overall:        75%+ (enforced)
src/services/: 90%+ (enforced)
src/utils/:    90%+ (enforced)
Components:    60%+ (enforced)

TDD Workflow (Mandatory)

1. Write test describing behavior
2. Verify test FAILS (red)
3. Write minimal code to pass
4. Verify test PASSES (green)
5. Refactor while keeping green

8. Common Workflows

Starting a New Feature

# 1. Check what's pending
gh issue list --label "ai-feature" --state open

# 2. If nothing suitable, create new issue
gh issue create --template ai-feature.md

# 3. Add label to trigger automation
gh issue edit <number> --add-label "ai-feature"

# 4. Or work on it directly from here
# (for complex features or when you want more control)

Reviewing AI Agent Work

# Check recent PRs
gh pr list --author "github-actions[bot]" --state open

# Review specific PR
gh pr view <number>
gh pr diff <number>

# Merge if approved
gh pr merge <number> --squash

Debugging Failed Runs

# List recent workflow runs
gh run list --workflow="ai-agent.yml" --limit 5

# View specific run
gh run view <run-id>

# Download logs
gh run download <run-id> -n agent-logs-<issue-number>

• Decide: Create issue for agent OR work directly
• Follow TDD: Write tests FIRST
• Use specialized agents for complex features
• Update .quetrex/status.yml before ending session
