SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires aidlc-cpo, aidlc-cto, aidlc-execution-agent, aidlc-getting-started, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill translates a plain-English idea into a governed AIDLC backlog, enabling auditable gating and a clear hand-off to downstream Dev Touchchain.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Gate-driven Cold Start and Re-entry flows that produce a ready backlog, project state, and a hand-off card.
  • Resume Router integration to read four-corner memory and present a explicit action menu at every invocation.
  • Cross-skill coordination with policy, design, and tracker components to deliver end-to-end planning.

Quick Start

Kick off a new AIDLC project by feeding a plain-English idea and review the resulting hand-off card.

FAQPage Schema
How do I convert a plain-English idea into a governed backlog with auditable gates?

To convert a plain-English idea into a governed backlog, the skill applies tiered gate sequences (Express, Standard, Full) during Cold Start flows to produce a ready backlog and writes the output to ProjectState.md and kickoff-ledger.md.

What is the best way to resume a stalled project kickoff without losing planning context?

To resume a stalled project kickoff without losing context, the Re-entry flow integrates with the Resume Router to read four-corner memory and presents an explicit action menu, updating session-context.md to restore prior state.

Can I use tracker MCPs to automate backlog hand-off for downstream execution?

Yes, you can use tracker MCPs to automate backlog hand-off. The system integrates with tracker MCPs when available during gated planning to emit a hand-off card for downstream Dev Touchchain execution.

Does the aidlc-kickoff-touchchain skill require specific dependencies for cross-skill coordination?

Yes, cross-skill coordination requires specific dependencies including aidlc-cpo, aidlc-cto, aidlc-execution-agent, and aidlc-getting-started to deliver end-to-end policy, design, and tracker integration.

When should I use Express versus Full gate sequences for planning a new epic?

You should choose Express, Standard, or Full gate sequences based on the required governance depth. These tiered gates translate plain-English ideas into a structured AIDLC backlog, determining the auditability and rigor of the planning output.
