SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

CDK contributors often juggle multiple roles and handoffs across issue analysis, solution design, implementation, testing, and release artifacts. This Skill provides a unified orchestrator that coordinates specialized subagents, SOPs, and deliverables to streamline from issue intake to PR-ready changes while preserving human oversight.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Orchestrates parallel phases with subagents (Issue Analyst, Solution Architect, Implementation Specialist, Test Engineer, QA, Documentation, Security Review, etc.)
  • Enforces a human approval gate before implementation
  • Produces structured PR artifacts and writes deliverables under .kiro/contributions/<ISSUE_NUMBER>/
  • Provides a repeatable, auditable workflow for CDK contributions

Quick Start

Provide a GitHub issue URL and say 'start CDK contribution workflow' to initiate Phase 1.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate an AWS CDK contribution workflow from issue intake to pull request?

To automate an AWS CDK contribution workflow, you can use an orchestrator that coordinates subagents and SOPs across issue analysis, planning, build, validation, and review phases to produce structured PR artifacts. It enforces human approval gates before implementation.

What is the best way to coordinate multiple subagents for a CDK issue-to-PR pipeline?

The best way to coordinate subagents for a CDK issue-to-PR pipeline is using a unified orchestration skill that dispatches specialized agents for solution design, testing, and documentation, while handing off outputs sequentially under a dedicated contributions directory.

How does the human approval gate work in a CDK contribution pipeline?

The human approval gate in a CDK contribution pipeline pauses the automated workflow after issue analysis and planning phases, ensuring manual oversight before the implementation specialist subagent begins building the PR-ready changes.

Where are automated CDK contribution workflow outputs stored during the pipeline?

Automated CDK contribution workflow outputs are stored under the .kiro/contributions/<ISSUE_NUMBER>/ directories, where deliverables from each phase are saved to hand off to the next phase and generate a final PR-ready summary.

Can I use a contribution orchestrator for repeatable and auditable CDK workflows?

Yes, you can use a contribution orchestrator to establish a repeatable and auditable CDK workflow. It coordinates multi-phase pipelines with subagents and standard operating procedures to streamline changes while preserving human oversight.

What subagents are involved in an automated CDK contribution pipeline?

Subagents involved in an automated CDK contribution pipeline include the Issue Analyst, Solution Architect, Implementation Specialist, Test Engineer, QA, Documentation, and Security Review agents, all coordinated by a central orchestrator.
