SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a structured, context-driven workflow to implement user stories by loading a story spec, project context, and developer notes, enabling consistent, repeatable delivery.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Coordinates story execution by loading the next ready story, relevant Dev Notes, and project context to drive implementation.
  • Supports a red-green-refactor cycle with test-first development, integration steps, and DoD validation per the story file.
  • Use case: a developer uses this skill to automatically pick the next ready story in a sprint and execute it following defined workflow steps.

Quick Start

Provide the next ready story file and follow the workflow.md steps to implement it.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate user story implementation from a spec file?

Automating user story implementation requires loading a context-filled spec file containing story metadata, Dev Notes, and project context to drive consistent, repeatable delivery. The skill executes tasks through red-green-refactor cycles until the story is complete.

What is the red-green-refactor cycle in test-driven development?

The red-green-refactor cycle is a test-first development workflow where you write a failing test, write code to pass it, then refactor. This skill applies this cycle automatically while satisfying architecture guidance and Definition of Done validation.

How do I execute the next ready story in a sprint workflow?

Executing the next ready story in a sprint workflow involves providing your story spec file and following defined workflow steps. The skill automatically loads relevant Dev Notes and project context to drive the implementation end-to-end.

Do I need to manually write tests when using an AI assistant for story implementation?

No, you do not need to manually write tests first. The AI-assisted workflow applies test-first development by generating and validating tests automatically within the red-green-refactor cycle specified by your Dev Notes.

How does Definition of Done verification work in automated story implementation?

Definition of Done verification validates completed story tasks against criteria described in your Dev Notes. The skill checks architecture guidance compliance, integration steps, and test-first development outcomes before marking the story complete.

Can I use this workflow for sprint management without predefined architecture guidance?

No, sprint management execution depends on predefined architecture guidance and Dev Notes within the story spec file. The workflow requires this context to satisfy test-first development and DoD validation per the story file.
