SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires specify-cli.

What problem does it solve?

Manually navigating through a multi-step development process can be time-consuming and require constant attention. This skill automates the entire 6-gear StackShift workflow, from initial analysis to implementation, allowing for unattended execution and significant time savings.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Full Workflow Automation: Sequentially runs all 6 gears (Analyze, Reverse Engineer, Create Specs, Gap Analysis, Complete Spec, Implement) without manual intervention.
  • Configurable Execution: Set preferences for route (Greenfield/Brownfield), clarification handling, and implementation scope upfront.
  • Progress Monitoring & Safety: Track progress, with checkpoints at each gear, and automatic pauses for critical errors or inconsistencies.
  • Use Case: You need to quickly get a project from an un-specified state to a fully spec-driven, partially implemented state. Activate cruise control mode before leaving for the day, and return to a project with comprehensive documentation, specifications, and critical features already built, ready for final review.

Quick Start

Run StackShift in cruise control mode for a brownfield project, deferring clarifications and implementing P0 and P1 features.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate a multi-step development workflow without manual intervention?

Cruise control automates the entire 6-gear StackShift workflow end-to-end—from analysis through implementation—running sequentially without stopping for manual decisions. Set your preferences upfront for route, clarification handling, and scope, then let it execute unattended while you work on other tasks.

Can I run StackShift automation on an existing brownfield project?

Yes, cruise control handles both greenfield and brownfield contexts. For brownfield projects, configure it to defer clarifications and target specific implementation priorities—such as P0 and P1 features—so the workflow adapts to your existing codebase state.

What happens if the workflow encounters an error or inconsistency during automation?

Cruise control includes safety checkpoints at each gear and pauses automatically on critical errors or inconsistencies. This prevents silent failures and gives you a chance to review before resuming, balancing hands-free execution with reliability.

How do I configure which features get implemented during automated runs?

Set implementation scope preferences before starting—cruise control accepts configurable scope settings so you can limit automation to specific feature tiers like P0 and P1, deferring lower-priority work for manual review.

Does automation work if I haven't written specifications yet?

Yes, cruise control is designed for unspecified projects. It runs the full workflow including analysis, reverse engineering, and specification creation, so you can move from an un-specified state directly to documented, spec-driven output.

Can I monitor progress while the workflow runs automatically?

Cruise control provides real-time progress reporting across all gears, so you can track execution status, check which stage is currently running, and see when checkpoints complete—even during completely unattended runs.
