SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill extracts the deliverable-local dependency register (Dependencies.csv) and its human-readable _DEPENDENCIES.md from source documents, enabling downstream aggregation, reconciliation, and lifecycle tracking.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Two-pass extraction: first anchor relationships to the project definition, then map execution edges between deliverables.
  • Outputs: a v3.1 Dependencies.csv and a corresponding _DEPENDENCIES.md with run notes and lifecycle data.
  • Use Case: maintain per-deliverable dependency provenance for planning, estimating, and governance.

Quick Start

Run the skill on a deliverable with a ready decomposition to generate Dependencies.csv and _DEPENDENCIES.md.

FAQPage Schema
How do I extract deliverable dependencies from source documents into a CSV format?

Extract deliverable dependencies from source documents into a consumable Dependencies.csv by running a two-pass extraction that anchors relationships to project definitions and maps execution edges between deliverables.

What is a two-pass dependency extraction process for project governance?

A two-pass dependency extraction process first anchors relationships to the project definition, then maps execution edges between deliverables to ensure evidence-first provenance for governance and planning.

How do I generate a dependency register with evidence-first provenance for planning?

Generate a dependency register with evidence-first provenance by running extraction on a deliverable with a ready decomposition, producing canonical rows with proper TargetType handling and lifecycle fields.

Do I need a ready decomposition path before extracting dependencies?

Yes, you need a ready decomposition path before extracting dependencies, as the skill operates on a defined run root and decomposition path to produce per-deliverable dependency registers.

What outputs are generated when extracting dependencies for lifecycle tracking?

Extracting dependencies generates a v3.1 Dependencies.csv file and an accompanying _DEPENDENCIES.md file containing run notes and lifecycle data for downstream aggregation and reconciliation.

Why does dependency extraction validate enums and IDs during the process?

Dependency extraction validates enums and IDs to enforce canonical row formatting, ensure proper TargetType handling, and maintain accurate lifecycle fields for downstream reconciliation.
