SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a disciplined, reusable framework to implement software features, fix bugs, or perform code changes using the APEX methodology (Analyze-Plan-Execute-Examine). It orchestrates parallel agents, self-validation, and optional adversarial reviews to improve quality, traceability, and efficiency.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Adaptive workflow orchestration: Loads steps progressively (00-init, 01-analyze, 02-plan, etc.) to minimize active context and token usage.
  • Resume and save outputs: Supports -r resume and -s save modes, preserving state and results for resumption.
  • Optional reviews: Includes adversarial review (step-05) and resolution (step-06) to improve robustness.
  • Plan-driven execution: Encourages a separate planning phase (step-02) before implementation (step-03), with strict validation afterward.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate structured software delivery workflows for complex code changes?

Structured software delivery is automated using the APEX methodology (Analyze-Plan-Execute-Examine) to orchestrate parallel agents, self-validation, and optional adversarial review. It provides a disciplined, auditable workflow for feature implementation and bug fixes.

What is the APEX methodology for software engineering tasks?

The APEX methodology is a structured workflow consisting of Analyze, Plan, Execute, and Examine phases. It applies progressive step-loading to orchestrate parallel agents for code changes, minimizing active context and token usage.

How do I resume an automated planning and execution workflow after an interruption?

Resume an automated planning and execution workflow using the -r resume mode to preserve state and results. The progressive step-loading design supports saving outputs with the -s save mode for later resumption.

Does the APEX workflow require external services to run parallel agents?

The APEX workflow requires no external services beyond the local environment to run parallel agents. It operates entirely locally to orchestrate structured software delivery and adversarial reviews.

When should I use adversarial review in an automated software delivery pipeline?

Use adversarial review in an automated software delivery pipeline during step-05 to improve robustness after plan-driven execution and strict validation. It is an optional phase followed by step-06 resolution to address identified issues.

Can I separate planning from implementation when fixing bugs with parallel agents?

Yes, separate planning from implementation when fixing bugs by using the distinct step-02 planning phase before step-03 execution. This plan-driven approach ensures strict validation is applied afterward.
