Frequently Asked Questions About hero-engine
FAQPage SchemaWhat tasks can I automate using hero-engine's skills?▼
You can automate product discovery (Torres-style opportunity solution trees, assumption tests), spec authoring (PRDs, EARS/Gherkin acceptance criteria, story mapping), QA design (boundary-value analysis, regression scoring, flake triage), engineering delivery (stack detection, migration safety, PR review), and sales qualification (MEDDPICC, SPIN discovery, forecast methodology).
Who are hero-engine's skills designed for?▼
The skills target specialized agent personas: product strategists, PRD authors, story writers, discovery researchers, QA test architects, delivery leads, debug investigators, migration engineers, forecast analysts, deal strategists, and buyer researchers — each loading role-specific framework guidance.
How do hero-engine skills operate at runtime?▼
Skills are loaded on demand by agents and commands — stack-detection routes engineering work to language-specific guidance, pm-preset-detection reads hero.json config to apply sprint, cycle, kanban, or phased rules, and handoff protocols flip artifact ownership from PM to engineering with bitemporal history.
What prerequisites do hero-engine skills require?▼
Skills assume a Hero workspace with hero.json configuration for PM presets, a .hero/knowledge directory for domain glossaries and explainers, and a knowledge graph for cross-domain queries between PM artifacts and engineering reality. Some skills depend on deferred Wave-2/Wave-3 agents.
Do hero-engine skills make autonomous decisions?▼
No. The pm-agent-doctrine mandates that all suggestions are reversible, human-gated proposals grounded in the team's own corpus — never auto-decisions. Duplicate detection never auto-merges, test triage requires human confirmation, and the /drive autonomy boundary stays deterministic via needs_me pauses.
