SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the need to update existing plans when the codebase or project requirements have changed, ensuring that the plan remains relevant and actionable.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Context Refresh: Re-scans the codebase and relevant documentation to gather the latest information.
  • Plan Revision: Integrates the new context with an existing plan to make necessary adjustments.
  • Use Case: After a new feature is partially implemented and the requirements subtly shift, use Scout Refine to update the original implementation plan to reflect these changes.

Quick Start

Run scout-refine to update the plan located at ./plans/feature-x.yaml with the latest codebase context.

FAQPage Schema
How do I update an existing project plan when codebase context changes?▼

To update an existing project plan when codebase context changes, re-evaluate the latest documentation and codebase state to adjust your plan. This ensures your iterative development process adapts to evolving project requirements and remains actionable.

What is the best way to revise an agile implementation plan after a feature shift?▼

The best way to revise an agile implementation plan after a feature shift is to re-scan the codebase to gather fresh context, then integrate this new information with your existing plan. This ensures your iterative development aligns with the updated requirements.

When do I need to refresh my project plans during iterative development?▼

You need to refresh your project plans during iterative development when a new feature is partially implemented and project requirements subtly shift. Re-evaluating the codebase context ensures your plans adapt to the evolving project states.

Can I integrate fresh codebase documentation into an existing plan?▼

Yes, you can integrate fresh codebase documentation into an existing plan by re-scanning relevant files and documentation. This context refresh facilitates agile methodologies by ensuring your plan modifications reflect the latest project states.

Does updating plans with scout-refine require specific plan file formats?▼

Updating plans with scout-refine targets plan files such as YAML formats located in your project directories. The process requires integrating a scout function for context gathering and a refine function for modifying the existing plan.

Why does my development plan become outdated after partial feature implementation?▼

Your development plan becomes outdated after partial feature implementation because the codebase context and project requirements continuously evolve. Refreshing the plan with updated documentation ensures it remains relevant and actionable for agile workflows.
