SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill solves the gap between an approved design and a functional implementation by generating a structured, task-by-task plan that allows any engineer to execute work without prior codebase context.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • INVEST-based Slicing: Breaks complex designs into small, independent, and testable vertical increments.
  • Control-Plane Guardrails: Enforces strict hygiene for sensitive tasks, ensuring changes to CI, conformance, and governance are handled via dev-clones and human-verified diffs.
  • TDD-First Workflow: Mandates that every task is defined by failing tests, ensuring the resulting code is production-grade and verifiable.

Quick Start

Ask the agent to walk you through the planning process for your current design spec to generate a build-ready implementation plan.

FAQPage Schema
How do I turn approved software design specs into build-ready implementation plans?▼

To turn approved software design specs into build-ready implementation plans, you need granular, task-by-task workflows. This process uses INVEST slicing to break designs into independent, testable vertical increments executable by engineers without prior codebase context.

What is INVEST-based slicing in software development lifecycle planning?▼

INVEST-based slicing in software development lifecycle planning is a method to break complex designs into small, independent, negotiable, valuable, estimable, small, and testable vertical increments. It ensures each implementation task is granular and verifiable.

How do I enforce test-driven development planning for engineers without codebase context?▼

To enforce test-driven development planning, mandate that every task is defined by failing tests before implementation. This TDD-first workflow ensures the resulting code is production-grade, verifiable, and executable by engineers lacking prior codebase familiarity.

What are control-plane guardrails for CI and governance changes?▼

Control-plane guardrails for CI and governance changes are strict hygiene rules ensuring sensitive tasks are handled safely. They require changes to conformance and governance to be processed via dev-clones and human-verified diffs to maintain architectural integrity.

Does software engineering planning work without prior codebase knowledge?▼

Software engineering planning can work without prior codebase knowledge when structured correctly. By generating granular, test-driven implementation plans with conformance markers and dual-review gates, any engineer can execute production-grade work safely.

When do I need dual-review gates in an implementation plan?▼

You need dual-review gates in an implementation plan when enforcing rigorous TDD standards and architectural integrity. They act as conformance markers to ensure production-grade output and strict control-plane safety during the software development lifecycle.
