SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill ensures a machine-readable feature state list is maintained for agent work, enabling WIP control, verification, and evidence-backed state transitions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Feature State Management: Track and manage feature states, ensuring WIP control and evidence-backed transitions.
  • Verification Commands: Enforce verification for each feature to ensure accuracy and completeness.
  • Evidence-Backed Completion: Ensure every passing feature has evidence to support its completion state.

Quick Start

FAQPage Schema
How do I track feature states in a repository for agent work?▼

Feature state tracking is managed by maintaining a machine-readable feature list, enabling WIP control and evidence-backed state transitions for project management workflows.

How does WIP control work for feature management?▼

WIP control works by enforcing verification commands on each feature, ensuring that state transitions are evidence-backed and compliant with defined project management processes before completion.

What's the best way to ensure evidence-backed feature completion?▼

Evidence-backed completion is ensured by enforcing verification commands that require every passing feature to provide concrete evidence supporting its final state in the repository.

Do I need a defined verification process to use feature state tracking?▼

Yes, a defined verification process and proper feature definition are required, as the state machine applies to workflows that demand tracking progress and ensuring compliance with defined states.

Can I use scripts to automate feature state transitions?▼

Scripts are provided as the core component to automate the management, verification, and updating of feature states, integrating WIP control directly into your repository workflows.

When should I not use a machine-readable feature state list?▼

A feature state list should not be used when a project lacks proper feature definitions or a verification process, as evidence-backed state transitions require structured inputs to function correctly.
