SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill enables multi-agent AI development governance and phase-based project orchestration.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Comprehensive framework for multi-agent deployment, ADRs, phase gates, and knowledge-base documentation.
  • Zen MCP tooling integration (planner, consensus, thinkdeep, analyze, precommit, codereview) to guide planning, decision making, and validation.
  • Session management and knowledge preservation to enable seamless handoffs across phases.

Quick Start

  • Start by reviewing claude.md and drafting a Phase 0 PRD in docs/PRD.md, then plan Phase 1 with zen planner and deploy a 5-agent team for iOS/macOS projects.

FAQPage Schema
How do I manage multi-agent AI development teams for iOS and web projects?▼

Multi-agent AI development teams for iOS and web projects are managed through phase-based project orchestration, enforcing mandatory standards, ADRs, and phase gates to maintain governance across deployment sessions.

What is a phase-based AI workflow and when do I need phase gates?▼

A phase-based AI workflow is a governance framework that uses phase gates to control project progression. You need phase gates when orchestrating multi-agent teams to ensure planning, analysis, and validation standards are met before advancing.

How do I start a multi-agent project using a phase-based development workflow?▼

To start a multi-agent project, draft a Phase 0 PRD in docs/PRD.md, plan Phase 1 with Zen MCP planner, and deploy a 5-agent team for iOS or macOS development to initiate the orchestration.

Can I use Zen MCP tools for planning and validation in AI development governance?▼

Yes, you can use Zen MCP tools including planner, consensus, thinkdeep, analyze, precommit, and codereview to guide planning, decision making, and validation within the multi-agent AI development governance framework.

How does session continuity work across phase gates in multi-agent development?▼

Session continuity across phase gates works by preserving knowledge-base documentation and managing session handoffs, enabling seamless transitions between phases for multi-agent AI development teams.

Do I need Architecture Decision Records for macOS and web project orchestration?▼

Yes, Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) are mandatory standards enforced by this workflow for macOS and web project orchestration, ensuring decisions are documented and validated across multi-agent phases.
