SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The Forge skill automates the manual orchestration work required to move a software change quickly from a primary specification checkpoint through design, implementation, review, and improvement, reducing context switches and operator overhead for rapid delivery.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multi-stage orchestration: Advances a change across clarifying-intent, slicing-stories, sketching-design, rapid-implementing, code-reviewing, and code-improving stages with a single main checkpoint.
  • Codex entrypoint and worker composition: Keeps orchestration in the main session while delegating stage work to sibling skills and reusing Praxis runtime contracts and orchestrator modules.
  • Use Case: Accelerate small-to-medium scoped changes when the user requests faster delivery via /forge or when tests are not being authored and auto-advancement is preferred.

Quick Start

Run the forge workflow to rapidly advance the current change from a single spec through design, implementation, review, and improvement within the Praxis repository.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate software change orchestration from spec to code review?▼

Automating software change orchestration advances a change through design, implementation, review, and improvement stages from a single main spec checkpoint. The workflow coordinates sibling stage skills while maintaining main session orchestration to reduce operator overhead.

What is multi-stage workflow automation for rapid code delivery?▼

Multi-stage workflow automation for rapid code delivery moves a change across clarifying-intent, slicing-stories, sketching-design, rapid-implementing, code-reviewing, and code-improving stages. It uses a single checkpoint and auto-advancement to minimize context switches during fast-paced engineering.

Can I use Codex-driven automation for small to medium scoped changes?▼

Yes, Codex-driven automation is designed to accelerate small-to-medium scoped changes. It keeps orchestration in the main session while delegating stage work to sibling skills and reusing runtime contracts for rapid delivery when auto-advancement is preferred.

Does the Praxis Forge workflow require writing tests to advance stages?▼

No, the Praxis Forge workflow does not require writing tests to advance stages. It is specifically built for rapid delivery scenarios where tests are not being authored and auto-advancement across stages is preferred over manual stage validation.

What's the best way to coordinate sibling stage skills during code implementation?▼

Coordinating sibling stage skills during code implementation is handled by the main session orchestrator. It delegates work to sibling skills for rapid-implementing, code-reviewing, and code-improving while utilizing repository-level run and stage-result contracts for validation and resume bookkeeping.

When should I avoid using automated workflow orchestration for code delivery?▼

You should avoid automated workflow orchestration when manual oversight is required across stages, or when test authoring is mandatory for your delivery pipeline. The workflow relies on a single checkpoint and auto-advancement, which may bypass necessary manual validation for complex changes.
