SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Manually updating low-level design (LLD) document status to Approved is error-prone and lacks auditability, creating bottlenecks for teams waiting to start downstream work like implementation story creation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated LLD Location: Automatically locates the latest LLD document if no file path is provided, or uses a user-specified path for targeted approval workflows.
  • Pre-Approval Guardrails: Prevents duplicate approvals by checking if the LLD is already marked as Approved, warns users if the document is still in Draft status to encourage proper review cycles, and recommends running validation checks first to ensure document quality.
  • Auditable Status Updates: Updates the LLD's status, last modified date, and version history in a single consistent workflow, with session notes logged for full traceability of approval actions.
  • Use Case: Technical leads can use this skill to quickly sign off on finalized LLDs after review, enabling their teams to immediately begin creating implementation stories without manual status update delays.

Quick Start

Use the approve-lld skill to formally approve the low-level design document you just reviewed, so the development team can start creating implementation stories right away.

Frequently Asked Questions about approve-lld

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I formally approve a low-level design document for downstream development?▼

To approve a low-level design document, the system automates the formal sign-off by updating the LLD status to Approved and recording the change in version history. This ensures an auditable, consistent approval process for technical leads.

What happens if I try to approve an LLD that is already approved or still in Draft?▼

Pre-approval guardrails prevent duplicate approvals by checking if the LLD is already marked as Approved. If the document is still in Draft status, the system warns you to encourage proper review cycles before proceeding with the sign-off.

How does the LLD approval process ensure traceability for technical leads?▼

The LLD approval process ensures traceability by updating metadata fields like status, last modified date, and version history via precise edit operations, while also logging session notes for full traceability of the approval action.

Can I automatically locate a low-level design document for approval without a file path?▼

Yes, automated LLD location allows the system to automatically locate the latest LLD document if no file path is provided. You can also specify a user-provided path for targeted approval workflows.

Why should I run validation checks before approving a low-level design document?▼

Running validation checks before approving a low-level design document is recommended to ensure document quality. Pre-approval validation confirms the LLD is ready for sign-off and enables teams to safely begin creating implementation stories.

Does the approve-lld skill enable implementation story creation after sign-off?▼

Yes, the approve-lld skill enables implementation story creation by formally updating the LLD status to Approved. This allows development teams to immediately begin creating downstream artifacts without manual status update delays.
