Add Dev Workflow extension — spec authoring, TDD, and independent review agents for Claude Code

[one-kash]

Summary

• Adds Dev Workflow (openkash/ai-agent-dev-workflow) to the community extensions catalog
• Full development lifecycle: /spec (specify) → /tdd (plan + implement) → review-plan (independent plan review) → review-impl (independent implementation review)
• Built for Claude Code (like ralph is built for Copilot CLI)
• Apache 2.0 licensed

What makes this different from existing extensions

Differentiator	Details	Closest alternative
Evaluator independence by architecture	Review agents run as subagents in fresh context — no shared memory with the code author, eliminating self-praise bias structurally	No existing extension isolates evaluator from author for honesty purposes
Pre-implementation plan review	8-point structured review BEFORE any code is written (Phase 2.5) — catches design bugs in plans, not in code	Every quality extension (Review, Verify, Cleanup) is post-implementation only
Spec authoring + TDD in one pipeline	Creates specifications with user stories + Given/When/Then acceptance criteria, then implements via TDD with chunk decomposition	No extension combines spec authoring with TDD implementation
Session resumption via JSON tracker	Per-chunk resume fields and context management strategy survive context resets across sessions	No equivalent in the ecosystem
4 pieces = full lifecycle	Spec → Plan → Review → Implement → Verify in one install	Equivalent coverage requires 5-6 separate extensions from different authors
