SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Complex multi-step work often starts as rough ideas and drifts over time, causing context loss, scope creep, and repeated decisions across sessions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Five-phase AA-MA planning workflow with explicit validation gates to prevent skipping critical thinking steps.
  • Complexity-based routing that flags high-impact changes (>= 60%) and requires deep architectural review at >= 80%.
  • Research, impact analysis, and artifact-first enforcement to produce structured AA-MA deliverables ready for execution.

Quick Start

Use this skill by asking your agent to plan the work for your requested multi-milestone feature: “Use aa-ma-plan-workflow to create an AA-MA plan for this complex change, then proceed to AA-MA artifact creation.”

FAQPage Schema
How do I create execution-ready plans for multi-session architectural refactors?

Execution-ready plans for multi-session architectural refactors are created using a structured five-phase planning workflow with validation gates. This process transforms complex feature requests into complete AA-MA artifacts containing acceptance criteria, risks, effort estimates, and next actions.

What is the best way to prevent scope creep and context loss during multi-session execution?

To prevent scope creep and context loss during multi-session execution, use an agentic memory planning workflow that enforces artifact-first deliverables. This approach maintains an audit trail and rollback provenance across dependency-heavy tasks, ensuring decisions are not repeated.

How does complexity routing work for high-impact architectural changes?

Complexity routing for high-impact architectural changes flags modifications with a 60% or higher impact rate. Changes reaching 80% or above require a deep architectural review before proceeding to downstream artifact creation.

When do I need an AA-MA plan with validation gates and audit trails?

An AA-MA plan with validation gates and audit trails is needed for complex, dependency-heavy tasks such as integrations and architectural refactors. It is required when work spans multiple sessions and demands rollback capabilities or provenance tracking.

Can I use this planning workflow for simple feature requests without dependencies?

This planning workflow is not designed for simple feature requests without dependencies. It applies to multi-session, dependency-heavy tasks requiring research, impact analysis, and mandatory artifact creation for downstream execution.

How do I start planning a complex integration with mandatory artifact creation?

To start planning a complex integration, ask your agent to use the aa-ma-plan-workflow to create an AA-MA plan. The structured workflow runs research and impact analysis phases, then proceeds to mandatory AA-MA artifact creation for execution.
