SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

IDD workflow helps teams convert vague software needs into explicit, verifiable artifacts across narrative, model, contract, and certification layers.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Repo preflight with overlay resolution and constraint carry-forward.
  • Narrative-to-scope workflow: /solution-narrative, specs, and models.
  • Downstream skill orchestration using repo overlay and discovery to pick implementation skills.
  • Certification traceability and evidence generation alignment.

Quick Start

Begin with /solution-narrative to capture personas and journeys for a new capability.

FAQPage Schema
How do I convert vague software requirements into verifiable engineering artifacts?▼

To convert vague software requirements into verifiable engineering artifacts, an intent-driven workflow maps human intent into structured spec layers like narrative, model, contract, and certification, ensuring traceability across the capability lifecycle.

What is the best way to start spec-first development for a new capability?▼

To start spec-first development for a new capability, begin by generating a solution narrative to capture personas and journeys, establishing foundational scope before creating downstream models, contracts, and fixtures.

How do I maintain certification traceability from initial intent to final implementation?▼

To maintain certification traceability from initial intent to final implementation, apply a structured multi-layer workflow that generates evidence alignment across spec artifacts, connecting personas, journeys, stories, and contracts directly to certification.

When should I use an intent-driven workflow orchestration instead of direct task execution?▼

Use intent-driven workflow orchestration instead of direct task execution when task clarity is uncertain, such as starting new capabilities or onboarding, guiding narrative-to-scope conversion to ensure repo overlay constraints are loaded.

Does workflow orchestration support carrying forward repo overlay constraints during development?▼

Yes, workflow orchestration supports carrying forward repo overlay constraints during development by performing a repo preflight with overlay resolution, ensuring all constraint carry-forward is maintained across generated spec artifacts.
