SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automates the end-to-end workflow of selecting the first backlog issue on the viban board, assigning it to a session, and driving it through to PR completion, reducing manual coordination and drift.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automatic issue assignment and branch setup following the viban workflow.
  • Guided "read CLAUDE.md" step to align with project-specific workflows when present.
  • CLI-driven progression from backlog to PR, including verification, review, and handoff.

Quick Start

Start by selecting the next backlog issue with viban assign, then follow the prompts to resolve it and open a PR.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate assigning backlog issues to pull request completion?

Automating backlog issue assignment to pull request completion is handled by selecting the next issue, setting up a branch, and driving it through verification and review. This workflow reduces manual coordination and drift.

What is the best way to manage git workflow from issue assignment to PR handoff?

The best way to manage this git workflow is using a CLI-driven process that guides phase-based steps from setup and analysis to verification and handoff, ensuring deterministic progression and mandatory review transitions.

How do I automatically select and assign the first backlog issue for development?

To automatically select and assign the first backlog issue, run the assign command to grab the next issue from the board, assign it to your session, and follow the guided prompts to resolve it.

Do I need a CLAUDE.md file to align project-specific workflows with issue assignment?

You do not strictly need a CLAUDE.md file, but if present, the workflow reads it to align with project-specific configurations. This guided step ensures your code changes match established project workflows.

Can I enforce mandatory review transitions and git branching guardrails during issue resolution?

You can enforce mandatory review transitions and git branching guardrails because the workflow includes built-in role orchestration and deterministic steps to ensure adherence to the viban workflow throughout development.

Why does my CLI-driven backlog workflow experience drift during code changes?

Backlog workflow drift occurs due to manual coordination across issue selection, branch creation, and PR completion. Automating this end-to-end progression with deterministic steps and guardrails prevents this drift.
