SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

scope-delta clarifies what an agent should change and why, before implementation starts, so requirements, risks, and closure targets remain consistent and traceable.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Define applies-to scope: attach the change to the exact target requirements/specs, plus contextual constraints and doctrine.
  • Create a delta with traceability: generate or derive a delta from scratch or from an existing backlog item while ensuring consistent context inputs and relations.
  • Enforce revision-first safety: stop early if the workflow requires a revision-first gate and the needed revision artifact is missing, then guide through the correct next steps.
  • Produce delivery bundle artifacts: ensure the required DE/DR/IP sheets exist and update DE to explicitly state applies_to, context, risks, and verification/closure intent.
  • Prepare phases before implementation: run plan-phase creation after drafting design revision, so execution follows a coherent plan.

Quick Start

Use scope-delta to create a scoped delta from a backlog item by telling the AI to run delta creation for ISSUE-123 and then draft the required DR and DE artifacts with explicit applies_to, risks, and closure intent.

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I translate project requirements into a traceable scope delta before implementation?▼

To translate requirements into a traceable scope delta, convert target specs and doctrine constraints into delivery bundle artifacts (DE/DR/IP) while explicitly defining applies_to scope, context inputs, risks, and verification intent.

What is a revision-first gating mechanism for software scope changes?▼

A revision-first gating mechanism stops implementation early if required design revision artifacts are missing, ensuring requirements and risks are validated before execution phases begin.

Can I enforce traceability for context inputs and risks using spec-driven planning?▼

Yes, spec-driven planning enforces traceability by mandating updates to DE sheets that explicitly capture applies_to scope, contextual constraints, risks, and verification intent prior to phase creation.

What are the limitations of creating scoped deltas without delivery bundle artifacts?▼

Without required delivery bundle artifacts like DE, DR, and IP sheets, scoped deltas lack the necessary context, risks, and verification intent to pass revision-first gating for implementation readiness.

Do I need to read workflow and doctrine files to validate project scope changes?▼

Yes, validating scope changes requires reading workflow, policy, and doctrine files to ensure the delta applies_to target requirements correctly and satisfies revision-first gating constraints.
