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-iterationOrchestrates 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.
