FAQPage Schema
How do I automate my dev story workflow from a story specification?

The dev story workflow applies a context-rich story specification to guide red-green-refactor task cycles with built-in guardrails. It reads Dev Notes, story structure, and sprint-status data to systematically progress through development tasks.

How do I maintain traceable Definition of Done checkpoints during development?

Traceable Definition of Done checkpoints are maintained by automatically updating DoD checkpoints, Change Logs, and Dev Agent records during task progression. This links every development action directly back to the story specification and sprint-status data.

Can I resume an interrupted code review and development task cycle?

Yes, the workflow supports code review continuation and task resumption by reading existing Dev Agent records and sprint-status data. It reconstructs the previous context to seamlessly continue the red-green-refactor cycle.

Does this dev story workflow integrate with CI pipelines for task tracking?

Yes, the dev story workflow supports CI integration to validate tasks and ensure traceable DoD checkpoints. It maps development tasks to sprint-status data, allowing CI pipelines to verify story progression and testing requirements.

What is needed to start automating end-to-end development story workflows?

Starting the development story workflow requires a provided story file containing the context-rich story specification, alongside Dev Notes and sprint-status data. The Skill reads these inputs to orchestrate project context loading and task mapping.

What are the limitations of using story specifications for workflow automation?

A key limitation is the strict dependency on a context-rich story specification and accurate sprint-status data. If Dev Notes or story structure are missing or malformed, the workflow cannot reliably execute red-green-refactor cycles or update DoD checkpoints.
