SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill provides a structured, automated orchestration for six-phase development workflows, enforcing critical approvals and consistent transitions between phases to reduce chaos and miscommunication.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Orchestrates Phase 1 through Phase 6 with clear handoffs and status tracking.
  • Enforces mandatory approvals at Phases 3 (Planning) and 5 (Implementation).
  • Integrates with sub-skills like questioning, investigation, planning, codex-review, and implementation to guide teams from task inquiry to completion.

Quick Start

Describe your development task and invoke the dev-workflow orchestrator to begin the six-phase process.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate a structured software development workflow with mandatory approvals?▼

Automate a structured development workflow by invoking a central orchestrator to drive six phases, enforcing mandatory approvals at the planning and implementation stages to reduce chaos and miscommunication.

What is a six-phase dev workflow and how does it handle phase transitions?▼

A six-phase dev workflow guides teams from task inquiry to completion. It handles phase transitions through a central orchestrator that integrates sub-skills for questioning, investigation, planning, review, and implementation, tracking progress via a local JSON state file.

How do I enforce mandatory approval steps in an automated DevOps planning cycle?▼

Enforce mandatory approvals in a DevOps planning cycle by configuring the development workflow orchestrator to halt for user approval at Phase 3 (Planning) and Phase 5 (Implementation) before proceeding.

Can I use this workflow orchestration for investigations and coding efforts instead of just task planning?▼

Yes, you can use this workflow orchestration for investigations and coding efforts. It is applicable to software teams needing structured planning, review, and implementation cycles across diverse development tasks.

How do I track progress and state across multiple development workflow phases?▼

Track progress across multiple development workflow phases using a local JSON state file. The orchestrator automatically updates this file to maintain consistent handoffs and status tracking throughout the six phases.

What are the limitations of using a local JSON state file for workflow orchestration?▼

Using a local JSON state file for workflow orchestration limits state accessibility to the local environment, meaning distributed teams cannot share a single synchronization source without manual file transfers.
