SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

DBS provides a disciplined framework to manage large-scope codebase changes, ensuring changes are deliberate, auditable, and testable.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • End-to-end change management across the full pipeline (brief, interview, analyze, map, discuss, plan, execute) for complex projects.
  • Structured state tracking and artifact generation (.dbs/*) to support audits, reviews, and rollback.
  • GSD-backed execution phases with validation gates and cross-phase consistency checks.

Quick Start

Start a DBS session by running /DBS:brief to begin.

FAQPage Schema
How do I manage large-scale codebase changes without losing track of progress?▼

Managing large-scale codebase changes requires a structured framework that tracks progress through a state file like .dbs/STATE.json. This ensures modifications remain deliberate, auditable, and testable across all project phases.

What is the best way to structure complex code modifications across multiple phases?▼

Structuring complex code modifications is best handled through a full pipeline: brief, interview, analyze, map, discuss, plan, and execute. Each phase builds upon validated artifacts to guide decisions and maintain cross-phase consistency.

How do I start a structured change management session for a complex project?▼

To start a structured change management session, initiate the pipeline with a brief phase to define the project scope. This kickoff generates the initial artifacts and state tracking files needed to guide subsequent analysis and execution phases.

Do I need GSD to execute structured codebase modifications?▼

Yes, GSD is required for the execution phases of this change management pipeline. It provides the validation gates and cross-phase consistency checks necessary to safely apply and verify the planned codebase modifications.

Can I audit and rollback code changes tracked in .dbs state files?▼

Yes, the .dbs directory generates structured state and artifacts specifically to support audits, reviews, and rollback. This artifact generation ensures every modification is deliberate and traceable throughout the end-to-end pipeline.
