SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It helps you execute work that is too large for a single sprint by turning it into an ordered series of full megaplan runs, with persisted state and clear failure semantics between milestones.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multi-sprint decomposition: break a project into milestone-sized megaplans that each produce written artifacts for downstream milestones.
  • Stateful orchestration via chain spec: use a chain.yaml to define base branch, optional seed plan, milestone order, and per-milestone rubric knobs (profile, robustness, depth, vendor).
  • Failure and escalation handling: control what happens when a milestone fails (abort, skip, or retry) and ensure progress can be resumed without losing completed milestones.
  • Unattended runs for long work: support cloud chain mode so the workflow can continue across terminal sessions.

Quick Start

Create a chain.yaml spec for your milestones and then run megaplan chain start --spec with the path to that spec.

FAQPage Schema
How do I orchestrate multi-sprint software workflows with state persistence and failure handling?▼

Multi-sprint workflow orchestration is achieved by decomposing large projects into a sequential chain of milestones using a YAML spec, enforcing deterministic ordering, state persistence, and explicit failure semantics between dependent megaplan runs.

What is a milestone chain spec and how does it manage software planning dependencies?▼

A milestone chain spec is a YAML file defining base branch, optional seed plan, milestone order, and per-milestone rubric knobs like profile, robustness, depth, and vendor. It ensures each milestone produces written artifacts required by downstream dependencies.

How do I start running a megaplan milestone chain from a YAML spec?▼

To start a chain, create a chain.yaml defining your milestones and rubric configuration, then execute the chain driver with the start command and pass the path to your spec file to initiate deterministic progression.

Can I resume multi-sprint workflow progress after a milestone failure without losing completed artifacts?▼

Yes, state persistence allows the chain driver to resume progress deterministically. Explicit on_failure and on_escalate policies define whether to abort, skip, or retry a failed milestone while preserving completed milestone artifacts.

Does cloud automation support unattended workflow orchestration for long-running software plans?▼

Cloud chain mode supports unattended workflow orchestration, allowing multi-sprint megaplan chains to continue executing across disconnected terminal sessions for long-running software planning and execution tasks.

What are the limitations of using a sequential milestone chain for multi-sprint project decomposition?▼

Milestone chains enforce sequential ordering, meaning downstream milestones strictly depend on upstream written artifacts. This rigid dependency structure limits parallel execution and requires comprehensive rubric configuration for each independent milestone.
