Summary

Tiny Stepping is a workflow guidance skill that instructs agents to implement features incrementally in minimal, reviewable steps with pauses for user feedback between each step. The skill provides a structured workflow loop (plan → implement → review → feedback → commit → repeat) and principles to ensure changes remain focused, understandable, and easy to course-correct.

Use Cases

• Implementing new features iteratively with continuous validation
• Refactoring large codebases while maintaining review checkpoints
• Collaborative development where direction needs early validation
• Building prototypes with rapid feedback loops
• Risk mitigation for complex changes by splitting into reviewable chunks

Quality Notes

• Skill provides clear workflow structure with six-step process that is easy to understand and follow
• Principles section explicitly reinforces best practices (one concern per step, independent understandability, prefer working state)
• No concrete examples provided — skill would benefit from a worked example showing how tiny stepping applies to a specific scenario
• No guidance on how to recognize when a step is 'too big' — could include size heuristics or indicators
• Missing edge case discussion: how to handle steps that require dependencies or span multiple files
• No explicit mention of handling merge conflicts or coordination in multi-developer scenarios
• Skill is purely procedural guidance with no technical execution — this is appropriate for a workflow guide
