SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires issue_lane.py, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the entire process of taking a software development issue from its initial state to a merged Pull Request, streamlining the delivery pipeline.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Autonomous Delivery: Manages the full lifecycle of an issue, including specification, design, implementation, testing, and PR creation.
  • Prioritization: Automatically selects the highest-priority eligible issue to work on.
  • Use Case: When you need to clear a sprint backlog, /autopilot can autonomously pick up the next highest priority issue, develop it, and submit it as a PR, freeing up human developers for more complex strategic tasks.

Quick Start

Use the autopilot skill to ship the issue with the ID '123'.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate issue-to-PR delivery for my sprint backlog?

You can automate the issue-to-PR pipeline by orchestrating autonomous end-to-end software delivery, which manages issue prioritization, specification, TDD-based implementation, automated QA, and PR walkthrough generation.

What is the best way to manage TDD-based implementation autonomously?

TDD-based implementation is managed autonomously by orchestrating the full software delivery pipeline, enforcing LLM-first reasoning for semantic tasks and strict claim discipline for single ownership throughout the process.

How does automated issue prioritization work for agile delivery?

Automated issue prioritization works by automatically selecting the highest-priority eligible issue from the backlog to develop, ensuring efficient agile delivery pipeline management and sprint backlog clearance.

Does autonomous software delivery support pull request walkthrough generation?

Autonomous software delivery supports pull request walkthrough generation as part of its end-to-end pipeline, automatically creating PR walkthroughs alongside specification, design, implementation, and automated QA.

Can I use autonomous delivery to clear a sprint backlog autonomously?

You can use autonomous delivery to clear a sprint backlog by allowing it to independently pick up the next highest priority issue, develop it using TDD, and submit it as a PR, freeing human developers for complex tasks.

When should I not use autonomous end-to-end software delivery?

You should avoid autonomous end-to-end software delivery for tasks requiring complex strategic human intervention, as it enforces strict single ownership and is optimized for streamlining routine issue-to-PR pipelines.
