SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Manages the structure and ownership of progress.yaml to ensure clear, auditable phase-tracking across project lifecycles.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Progress schema: Defines phase-level fields (id, slug, title, status) and guarantees consistency across stages.
  • Step ownership: Tracks per-step ownership with implemented, reviewed, notes, and touched to support accountability.
  • Workflow guidance: Encodes status transitions to guide builders and overseers through a reliable lifecycle.
  • Use Case: When coordinating multi-step product cycles, use this to keep progress state aligned with execution.

Quick Start

Create or update the progress.yaml file in your project to define the initial phase and its steps.

FAQPage Schema
How do I track phase progress and ownership in a YAML file?▼

Track phase progress in a YAML file by defining a schema with phase metadata fields like id, slug, title, and status, plus per-step ownership fields to ensure accountability across build and review workflows.

What is the best way to structure a progress.yaml file for multi-step project cycles?▼

A progress.yaml file should be structured with phase-level fields for identity and status, alongside step-level fields for ownership and review states, ensuring predictable status transitions and traceable execution throughout the lifecycle.

How do I manage status transitions for project phase tracking?▼

Manage status transitions by encoding predictable lifecycle rules directly into your progress tracking schema, guiding builders and overseers through reliable build, review, and complete states for each phase.

Can I use YAML to enforce accountability for step ownership during a project build?▼

Yes, you can enforce accountability by tracking per-step ownership in YAML using implemented, reviewed, notes, and touched fields to document exactly who executed and verified each step.

Do I need a predefined schema to automate progress tracking for project phases?▼

Yes, automating progress tracking requires a clearly defined schema to guarantee consistency across stages, ensuring predictable status transitions and explicit ownership rules for full traceability.
