FAQPage Schema

How do I automate story implementation from a spec file?▼

Automating story implementation involves executing development tasks directly from a structured story markdown file, managing test execution, and validating acceptance criteria. The AI adheres to project requirements and updates sprint status tracking automatically upon completion.

What is the red-green-refactor cycle in agile development?▼

The red-green-refactor cycle is a test-driven development workflow where you write a failing test, implement code to pass it, then optimize. This approach integrates testing and validation steps to ensure requirements are met before marking a story ready for review.

How do I execute development tasks based on acceptance criteria in a markdown file?▼

Executing development tasks from a markdown file requires parsing structured specifications, including tasks and dev notes. The AI meticulously implements the story, runs tests, and updates the status according to a defined workflow before marking it ready for review.

Can I integrate sprint status tracking with automated story implementation?▼

Integrating sprint status tracking with automated story implementation ensures project management alignment. The workflow executes development tasks, runs tests, and automatically updates the story status to reflect completion and readiness for review.

Does automated story implementation work without external dependencies?▼

Automated story implementation works without external dependencies by relying on internal references. It processes structured story markdown files to manage task implementation, test execution, and validation according to a defined workflow.

What's the best way to ensure code review readiness for agile stories?▼

Ensuring code review readiness involves following a precise red-green-refactor cycle and integrating testing and validation steps. The workflow executes development tasks based on story specifications, ensuring all requirements are met before marking the story ready for review.
