Copying just the running-an-iteration/ folder is not enough: its own SKILL.md points at skills/shared/parallel-adversarial-review.md and dispatches to a sibling implementing-tasks skill that live outside the folder, so it's inert until the whole plugin tree (and a pre-built docs/superpowers/iterations/ roadmap scaffold) is vendored alongside it.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

  • Installs cleanly 4/5
  • Triggers reliably 5/5
  • Output vs. baseline 6/10
  • Docs & honesty 5/5

What Running an Iteration does

Drives a single iteration of a larger iterative-development pipeline: picks the next pending iteration, baselines sentinel regression scenarios, decomposes work into interleaved code and evidence (test/scenario) tasks, dispatches implementation, and gates completion on zero leftover cross-iteration TODO markers. Triggers only inside projects already using this repo's iterative-development framework (roadmap.md, behavior-corpus.md) — not a general 'plan my sprint' skill.

How to install Running an Iteration

git clone https://github.com/prime-radiant-inc/iterative-development
cd iterative-development
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r skills/running-an-iteration ~/.claude/skills/running-an-iteration

Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ (per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.

Commands — how to trigger Running an Iteration

  • /running-an-iteration Orchestrates one TDD iteration end-to-end: regression baseline, task decomposition, evidence tracking, wrap-up.

It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:

  • Run the next iteration in our roadmap end to end
  • Baseline the regression scenarios before starting this iteration
  • Decompose this iteration into interleaved code and evidence tasks

Frequently asked questions

Is the Running an Iteration skill free?
Yes. The skill itself is free from prime-radiant-inc/iterative-development. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.
Does Running an Iteration work with Claude Code?
We tested it with Claude Code 2.x (agent harness) on Jul 13, 2026. Verdict: Works with setup. Copying just the running-an-iteration/ folder is not enough: its own SKILL.md points at skills/shared/parallel-adversarial-review.md and dispatches to a sibling implementing-tasks skill that live outside the folder, so it's inert until the whole plugin tree (and a pre-built docs/superpowers/iterations/ roadmap scaffold) is vendored alongside it.
What is the Running an Iteration SkillProof Score?
8.0/10 — installs cleanly 4/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 6/10, docs & honesty 5/5.
How do I install Running an Iteration?
Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.
Can I use Running an Iteration with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?
The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.
