SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Phase 0 focuses on capturing WHAT users need and WHY before coding, establishing a clear, testable intent and a scaffold for AI-assisted review that guides later phases.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Intent capture: Prompt users to articulate scope, goals, users, and acceptance criteria.
  • Structured scaffolding: Generates the .eiffel-workflow structure, including prompts and evidence placeholders.
  • Review prompts: Produces an AI-review prompt to surface gaps and ambiguities.
  • Handoff artifacts: Produces intent.md and intent-v2.md prototypes for Phase 1 readiness.

Quick Start

Run the /eiffel.intent command with a target project path, for example: /eiffel.intent /path/to/project Follow prompts to describe the project scope, goals, and users Open the generated .eiffel-workflow/intent.md and .eiffel-workflow/evidence/phase0-ai-review.md to review and proceed

FAQPage Schema
How do I capture project intent before coding to establish testable scope and goals?▼

Capturing project intent before coding requires articulating scope, goals, users, and acceptance criteria. This Skill scaffolds an intent.md file and AI review prompts, establishing a clear baseline for Phase 0 planning.

What is the best way to generate AI review prompts for project handoff artifacts?▼

Generating AI review prompts for project handoffs involves creating structured scaffolding that includes placeholders for evidence. The Skill outputs a structured folder layout with review prompts to surface gaps and ambiguities.

Does the Eiffel workflow require a specific folder layout for Phase 0 evidence and intent?▼

The Eiffel workflow requires a structured folder layout for Phase 0 evidence and intent. This Skill generates the .eiffel-workflow structure, including intent.md, AI review prompts, and evidence placeholders for Phase 1 readiness.

How do I create a structured workflow scaffold for project scope and acceptance criteria?▼

Creating a structured workflow scaffold for project scope involves running a minimal command interface. The Skill prompts users to describe project goals and users, then outputs a structured folder layout with intent prototypes.

Can I use intent.md prototypes for Phase 1 readiness in an AI-assisted review process?▼

Intent.md prototypes can be used for Phase 1 readiness in an AI-assisted review process. The Skill produces intent.md and intent-v2.md prototypes, creating a testable intent scaffold that guides later phases.

Why does my project need a Phase 0 intent capture before proceeding to later workflow phases?▼

A Phase 0 intent capture is needed to focus on what users need and why before coding begins. It establishes a testable intent and scaffold for AI-assisted review that guides and de-risks later development phases.
