SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

It prevents product development work from collapsing into chaos by turning an idea into structured planning and iterative, shippable build outputs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Two-phase workflow (Plan → Build): guides users through documenting requirements and then executing development in ordered increments.
  • Versioned delivery: breaks work into build “versions” so each increment is complete, testable, and ship-ready.
  • Lightweight patches & prototypes: supports quick fixes via patches and idea validation via throwaway prototypes, while preserving context and traceability.

Quick Start

Type :cody plan and tell Cody what you want to create so it can guide you through discovery, PRD, and planning documents.

FAQPage Schema
How do I turn product ideas into structured shippable releases?

PRD generation structures product planning by guiding you through discovery, requirement documentation, and planning documents. You initiate this phase using the :cody plan command to define what you want to create before building begins.

Can I create quick patches and prototypes for feature validation?

Yes, you can create lightweight patches for quick updates and throwaway prototypes to validate ideas. This workflow supports fast iteration and testing while preserving context and traceability alongside your main versioned development increments.

What is the best way to manage a feature backlog for AI agent workflows?

Managing a feature backlog for AI agent workflows is best handled through versioned delivery. This breaks work into complete, testable, and ship-ready build versions, ensuring each increment is properly tracked from planning to execution.

How do I start product planning for brownfield development or new versions?

To start product planning for brownfield development or adding new versions, execute the :cody plan command. This guides you through discovery and planning documents, supporting both fresh starts and continuing existing work seamlessly.

Do I need cody.json placeholders for deterministic project path resolution?

Yes, cody.json placeholders are required for deterministic project path resolution. This setup ensures the command-driven execution workflow correctly locates your project assets when using commands like :cody build or :cody prototype.
