What problem does it solve?
This Skill prevents a new app build from starting without a clear scope, approval flow, and versioned roadmap, reducing rework and keeping the project aligned as it grows.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Project-level planning: Establishes the full build roadmap, contract, and test strategy before implementation begins.
- Per-gate approvals: Breaks work into explicit checkpoints so scope changes, UI work, and backend work are approved in the right order.
- Change control: Forces roadmap-level changes and gate-level changes to be handled separately, which keeps decisions clean and auditable.
- Use case: A founder starting a new product can use this Skill to define the build, lock the roadmap, and move through implementation one gate at a time.
Quick Start
Use the build-rules skill to plan a new app, gather the requirements, and lock the roadmap before writing any code.
