## Implementation Guide

[Detailed implementation steps would go here in production]

This skill provides comprehensive guidance for define and enforce golden paths and best practices for development teams.

Overview

This skill defines and enforces golden paths and best practices for development teams, streamlining workflows and reducing decision fatigue. It codifies repeatable, vetted patterns for architecture, deployment, and code quality tailored to TypeScript and game asset pipelines. The goal is consistent, secure, and maintainable delivery across teams.

How this skill works

The skill inspects project configuration, CI/CD pipelines, linting and testing setups, and deployment manifests to identify divergences from the golden path. It provides a declarative configuration schema and checks that produce actionable remediation steps, optional code or config patches, and automated validations. Integrations include source control hooks, CI runners, and observability alerts to continuously enforce the golden path.

When to use it

Onboard new teams or projects to a standardized development workflow
Enforce consistent build, test, and deployment patterns across microservices
Reduce incidents caused by misconfigurations in CI/CD or runtime environments
Define secure defaults for third-party dependencies and asset pipelines
Audit and remediate drifting projects to a maintained, approved baseline

Best practices

Start with a minimal, well-documented golden path and iterate based on team feedback
Automate checks in CI and gate risky changes with policy enforcement
Document rationale for each rule to help team adoption and exceptions
Provide migration tools or patches to bring existing repos into compliance
Monitor adoption and regularly review the golden path to reflect new standards

Example use cases

Create a standard TypeScript build and lint pipeline for all game asset services
Enforce safe dependency update policies and automated vulnerability scans
Provide one-click scaffolding for new microservices that follow the golden path
Detect and fix CI misconfigurations that break nightly asset generation
Implement audit hooks that alert when production deployments deviate from approved manifests

FAQ

Can teams request exceptions to the golden path?

Yes. Exceptions can be submitted with documented justification and reviewed by policy owners; the skill supports scoped overrides and temporary exemptions.

How does this integrate with existing CI/CD systems?

The skill integrates via standard CI runners, pre-commit hooks, and GitOps manifests to run checks, apply fixes, and block noncompliant merges.
