SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill enables teams to capture directive context, purpose, rules, validations, and examples through a guided conversational flow, producing a structured XML directive stored at .festinalente/directives/{name}.xml and linked to skills via .festinalente/config.yaml.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Conversational capture: Guides users to articulate principles, process rules, validations, and examples, then translates them into a machine-readable directive.
  • XML artifact generation: Automatically generates and stores the directive as .festinalente/directives/{name}.xml.
  • Skill linkage: Associates directives with existing skills via .festinalente/config.yaml to enable loading by the relevant workflow phases.

Quick Start

Run /festina-directive with a name and answer the guided prompts to generate a new directive.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create structured XML directives for workflow automation through a guided process?▼

You can create structured XML directives by running a guided conversational Q&A flow that translates your inputs into machine-readable artifacts. This captures principles, rules, validations, and examples, then stores the output at .festinalente/directives/{name}.xml.

How do I link generated XML directives to specific workflow phases like scope and implement?▼

You link generated directives by updating the project's .festinalente/config.yaml file. This associates the XML artifacts with existing skills, enabling the relevant workflow phases such as scope, plan, implement, and check to load them.

Can I use conversational inputs to define validation rules and principles for my automation config?▼

Yes, conversational capture guides you to articulate process rules, validations, and examples, which are then translated into a structured XML directive. This ensures your automation config accurately reflects your team's principles.

What is the best way to capture and store project directives as machine-readable XML artifacts?▼

The best way to capture project directives is through a conversational flow that translates your team's context and purpose into structured XML. The generated artifact is automatically stored at .festinalente/directives/{name}.xml and validated by the project's tooling.

Do I need an existing .festinalente directory structure before generating directives?▼

Yes, the directive generation process requires the project's tooling and config structure to be present. The resulting XML is stored at .festinalente/directives/{name}.xml and linked via .festinalente/config.yaml, meaning these paths must exist or be created.
