SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires implement, tdd, quality-review, spec-review, verify-completion, scope-guard, and includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the execution of a pre-approved plan, breaking down complex features into manageable tasks and ensuring quality at each step.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Task-by-Task Execution: Runs through a plan sequentially, completing one task before moving to the next.
  • Quality Gates: Implements checks (spec review, constitution, quality review, etc.) after each task to ensure correctness.
  • Progress Tracking: Updates the plan and provides status updates to the user.
  • Use Case: After a feature plan is approved, you can tell Sage to "start building," and this skill will autonomously implement each task, run tests, and ensure quality before proceeding.

Quick Start

Tell Sage to start building the approved plan for the new feature.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate task-by-task execution of an approved software plan?

Task-by-task execution is automated by reading the approved plan, dispatching implementation to other skills, and validating output through quality gates. This loop continues sequentially, completing one task before moving to the next.

What are quality gates in build orchestration and when do they run?

Quality gates in build orchestration are validation checks that run after each task is completed. They enforce correctness by running spec reviews, constitution checks, and quality reviews before the execution loop updates progress and proceeds.

How do I start building a feature once the development plan is approved?

To start building an approved feature plan, you simply instruct the system to begin execution. The orchestration loop will then autonomously identify the next incomplete task, implement it, run tests, and ensure quality before continuing.

Can I use task management orchestration for complex feature breakdowns?

Task management orchestration is suitable for complex feature breakdowns because it breaks them into manageable tasks and executes them sequentially. It tracks progress and ensures each step meets quality standards before advancing the loop.

Do I need a pre-approved plan to run the build execution loop?

A pre-approved plan is required to run the build execution loop. The skill reads this plan to identify the next incomplete task, dispatches implementation, validates the output, and updates progress autonomously throughout the process.

Why does my build loop stop or pause between implementation tasks?

Your build loop pauses between implementation tasks to run integrated quality gates. These validation checks ensure the output of each step meets correctness standards before the loop updates progress and moves to the next task.
