SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Design teams struggle to keep design specs organized, up-to-date, and traceable across multiple lifecycle stages from draft to archived.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Lifecycle orchestration: track specs as they move from draft to ready, in-progress, delivered, and archived.
  • Central documentation: maintain a single source of truth in docs/planning/INDEX.md and per-spec folders.
  • Archival governance: automatically transition completed specs to archived state while preserving history.

Quick Start

Create a new design spec folder under docs/planning/ with a design-spec.md frontmatter and follow the lifecycle from draft to archived.

FAQPage Schema
How do I manage the lifecycle of design specs from draft to archival?▼

A frontmatter-driven workflow governs design specs by moving them through draft, ready, in-progress, delivered, done, and archived states, ensuring organized lifecycle tracking from inception to completion.

What is the best way to track design specs across multiple lifecycle stages?▼

The best way to track design specs is maintaining a central index file that serves as a single source of truth, organizing per-spec folders and governing their progression through stages like ready, in-progress, and done.

How do I set up frontmatter for design specs to enforce a workflow?▼

To set up frontmatter for design specs, create a spec folder under your planning directory and define frontmatter metadata in the design-spec file; this drives the workflow transitions from draft through in-progress to archived.

Does this lifecycle management approach work for bugs and improvements as well as features?▼

Yes, lifecycle management handles bugs and improvements alongside features. The workflow uniformly governs all design specs, guiding features, improvements, and bugs through identical draft, in-progress, and archived states.

How do I safely archive completed design specs while preserving history?▼

You safely archive completed design specs through archival governance that automatically transitions delivered and done specs to an archived state, preserving full historical traceability of the design records.
