vt-product-dev Plugin

The vt-product-dev plugin is the end-to-end product flow: PRD → prototype → spec → plan → build → review → finalize → operate. It is sized for one person carrying a piece of work from front to back (SPEC-163 FR-2).

It is the largest plugin in the split — 66 skills: 65 from the 119-skill split, plus one added since.

Notes

Mid-flow entry is supported (EC-2). The 0→6 phase skills and the spec tools are each independently invokable; nothing requires starting at /vt-d-0-init.

It depends on the base for registration. Eleven skills here call ~/.claude/skills/vt-c-project-register/scripts/check_registration.sh. That target stays in vt-base under its vt-c- name, so the call sites are unaffected by this move — verified at Task 23 rather than assumed, because at Task 21 that script's own parser dependency had broken silently.

The last six were added after the original assignment. kw-prd, kw-prototype and kw-user-test came here via Amendment A5 — they are substantial skills, not deprecated stubs, and their subject matter is the pd-* front. container-logistics-ux-expert, messegelaende-cleanup and skill-venue-hall-research came via Amendment A3; they keep their scope: product:[…] markers, which restrict where Claude auto-matches them and are independent of which plugin owns them.
