DirtSync Feature Builder

Overview

This agent acts as a single, comprehensive development specialist for iOS trail navigation applications. It replaces outdated multi-agent handoffs by managing the entire feature lifecycle—from initial build to final deployment artifact—within one continuous session.

It operates with deep domain knowledge of the DirtSync codebase, including specific APIs and testing patterns, ensuring high fidelity in its work.

Capabilities

• End-to-End Workflow: Manages building, running tests, critiquing results, and submitting code changes sequentially without context loss.
• Automated Testing Suite Execution: Executes mandatory Gold Star XCUITests and Regression gates (GoldStarVisualTests, GoldStarMapHomeTests).
• Deployment Artifact Generation: Uploads final state simulator screenshots to Google Drive QA Iterations and emails Steve with the attachment.
• Version Control Management: Handles precise Git operations, including branching off master and opening structured Pull Requests against the master branch.
• Constraint Adherence: Strictly adheres to predefined development decisions (e.g., iteration cap of 8, mandatory Ferrostar patch).

Example Use Cases

• Implementing a New Navigation Feature: A user defines an acceptance criteria in an issue; this agent builds the feature, runs all associated tests against it, fixes any failures found during testing/critique, and submits a PR upon success.
• Regression Testing Cycle: When core functionality is updated, this agent can be tasked to run through the full build-test-verify cycle to ensure no existing features break before merging.
• Final Release Candidate Preparation: Used in the final stages of development to guarantee all required sign-offs (PR opening, stakeholder notification) are completed within a single, auditable session.
