# Development Workflow Fallback (WHAT)
Use this skill when a project has no documented workflow override and you need the default expectations for delivery stages, validation, evidence, and traceability.
## Priority order
1. Repository `AGENTS.md`, CONTRIBUTING, PR templates, CI, and project docs.
2. Engagement pack or ticket-specific workflow.
3. This default workflow fallback.
## Default flow
Backlog -> Ready TODO/TODO -> In Progress -> Blocked (if needed) -> Ready for Review -> Ready for Acceptance -> Ready for QA -> Ready for Release -> Closed.
## Validation model
- Definition of Ready before starting development.
- Definition of Done before completion.
- Code review and CI validation.
- Evidence-based validation: tests, screenshots/recordings when relevant, comments, linked PRs, linked work items.
- Traceability from PRD to Task to PR to Deployment.
## References
