SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps teams determine the appropriate documentation ceremony level for VT workflows, preventing over-documentation for simple tasks and under-documentation for complex work.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automates triage to select Level 1 (Full), Level 2 (Standard), or Level 3 (Minimal) based on task signals.
  • Integrates with /vt-flow, /vt-feature, /vt-bug, and /vt-implement to tailor artifact generation and gates.
  • Respects project defaults defined in stack.md and supports overrides via --deep and --quick flags.
  • Provides a default behavior when the scope is unclear to avoid stalled pipelines.

Quick Start

Run a triage check on the current work item to determine the VT ceremony level before starting the pipeline.

FAQPage Schema
How do I determine the right workflow ceremony level for a development task?▼

Workflow ceremony levels are determined by assessing task complexity to select Level 1 (Full), Level 2 (Standard), or Level 3 (Minimal) documentation. This prevents over-documenting simple tasks and under-documenting complex work.

What is the best way to automate task triage before starting a feature pipeline?▼

Automating task triage involves running a triage check on the work item to evaluate signals and select the appropriate ceremony level. This tailors artifact generation and gates across feature and bug workflows.

Can I override default project workflow documentation levels?▼

Yes, you can override default project workflow documentation levels defined in stack.md by applying --deep or --quick flags during triage. This adjusts the ceremony level and artifacts produced.

How do bug and feature workflows integrate with task triage?▼

Bug and feature workflows integrate with task triage by applying the ceremony level to /vt-flow, /vt-feature, /vt-bug, and /vt-implement. This tailors the artifacts produced and gates applied across the pipeline.

What happens when task scope is unclear during workflow planning?▼

When task scope is unclear during workflow planning, the triage process provides a default behavior to avoid stalled pipelines. It selects a safe ceremony level based on available signals.

When should I use deep versus quick triage flags?▼

Use deep versus quick triage flags to manually override automated ceremony level selection. Apply --deep for complex tasks requiring full documentation and --quick for simple tasks needing minimal artifacts.
