SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automate the execution of a single Gaz blueprint phase step from orientation to readiness, removing manual handoffs and ensuring a repeatable workflow.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Read and interpret the Phase steps and context from plans/state and blueprint markdown to drive implementation.
  • Update plans/state/build-eval.json with phase, step, blueprint location, and status as work progresses; support per-task tracking and verification.
  • Enforce a strict, one-task-at-a-time workflow: implement, verify, and signal readiness before proceeding to the next task or phase.
  • Signal readiness by updating build-eval.json and guiding the evaluator to run '/evaluate $phase $step'.

Quick Start

Activate build mode by setting GAZ_BUILD_MODE to 1, then follow Phase 1 through Phase 4 to complete a step.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate a single phase step in a development workflow?

To automate a single phase step, the build-step Skill identifies the task, reads it from plans, implements it via tests, and signals readiness by updating build-eval.json. It enforces a strict one-task-at-a-time execution model.

How does updating build-eval.json signal readiness for the next development phase?

Updating build-eval.json records the phase, step, blueprint location, and verification status. This signals readiness to the evaluator and guides them to run '/evaluate $phase $step' before proceeding to the next task.

Can I track per-task progress and verification status within a Gaz blueprint?

Yes, you can track per-task progress within a Gaz blueprint. The Skill updates plans/state/build-eval.json with phase and step details, ensuring per-task tracking and verification before advancing the workflow.

What is the best way to enforce a one-task-at-a-time workflow during blueprint automation?

The best way to enforce a one-task-at-a-time workflow is using the build-step Skill. It implements, verifies, and signals readiness for a single step before allowing progression to the next task or phase.

Do I need to set GAZ_BUILD_MODE to 1 to start automating blueprint phases?

Yes, you need to set GAZ_BUILD_MODE to 1 to activate build mode. Once activated, you can follow Phase 1 through Phase 4 to complete a single Gaz blueprint phase step end-to-end.

Why does my SKILL.md require frontmatter with name and description for build automation?

SKILL.md requires frontmatter with name and description to ensure proper identification during build automation. The Skill also recognizes optional directories like scripts, references, and assets to support the workflow.
