QuantMind Dev

Development workflow for contributing to the QuantMind codebase.

Start Here

1. Use the repository contexts/README.md to select the development context for this contribution.
2. Read the repository root AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md for the stable architecture constraints and the module map.
3. Read docs/README.md when the task adds, changes, or uses a public operation or public-network source.
4. When creating, updating, or triaging an issue or pull request, use the canonical repository label guidance in contexts/dev/labels.md.
5. Before writing or editing any GitHub body, follow the canonical GitHub writing style in contexts/dev/github-writing.md, including its no-hard-wrap rule.
6. Pick exactly one workflow reference below; do not load the others.

Select Workflow

• Setting up as a contributor (environment, hooks, first verify) → references/setup.md
• Filing an issue for a bug or a missing capability → references/setup.md ("File an Issue" section)
• Committing staged work → references/commit.md
• Opening or updating a pull request → references/pull-request.md
• Implementing or refactoring anything under quantmind/ → references/develop-components.md (read it before writing code)
• Adding or editing a page under contexts/ → references/write-contexts.md

A feature task usually chains all three: develop → commit → pull request.

Rules

• bash scripts/verify.sh is the deterministic required verification. Run it before every push and before marking a PR ready. The required .github/workflows/ci.yml workflow runs the same harness.
• Public-network integrations have separate bounded smoke tests. .github/workflows/e2e.yml owns their scheduled, manual, and path-filtered component jobs. Run every applicable test listed in docs/README.md when changing that component and before publishing. External service availability must not block unrelated changes.
• Keep docs/README.md as the single catalog of component smoke-test commands. A new live component adds a component-specific scripts/verify_<component>_e2e.py, a named job in the existing e2e.yml, precise PR path coverage, and one catalog row. When multiple live jobs exist, use GitHub-native per-job change detection so only affected jobs run. Do not add a separate workflow, generic E2E runner or registry, or base E2E class.
• Never bypass pre-commit / pre-push hooks (--no-verify) unless the user explicitly authorizes it.
• New features ship with a unit test and a focused example (see references/develop-components.md).
• This skill is mirrored under .agents/skills/quantmind-dev/ and .claude/skills/quantmind-dev/; the copies are identical. When changing the skill, update both in the same change.

Boundaries

• This skill is for contributing to QuantMind itself. It does not cover using QuantMind as a library in your own project.
• Product decisions (new modules, new dependencies, API redesigns) need an issue and maintainer discussion first; do not encode them here.
