SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the entire software development lifecycle, from initial implementation to final retrospective, reducing manual coordination and ensuring a consistent process.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • End-to-End Automation: Orchestrates four distinct phases: sprint implementation, compliance audit, shipping (PR creation), and retrospective.
  • Resilience: Each phase is self-contained and can be resumed independently if context is lost or errors occur.
  • Context Management: Actively monitors and manages context window usage to prevent interruptions.
  • Use Case: When a user provides a plan or issue, this Skill can autonomously implement the code, ensure it meets compliance standards, create a pull request, and conduct a retrospective, all without further user intervention between stages.

Quick Start

Use the dev-cycle skill to run the full development cycle for the provided plan.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate the full software development lifecycle from implementation to pull request?

You can start a full development cycle by providing a GitHub issue URL, a plan file, or an inline description, which the Skill uses to autonomously implement code and create a pull request.

Can I resume an automated development workflow if the context window is interrupted?

Yes, you can resume an automated development workflow if interrupted, because each phase is self-contained and provides independent resumption guides to recover lost context.

Does this development lifecycle automation tool handle compliance auditing before shipping?

Yes, this development lifecycle automation tool handles compliance auditing by chaining a dedicated compliance audit phase immediately before the shipping and pull request creation phase.

How does this tool manage context window usage during long CI/CD automation tasks?

It manages context window usage during CI/CD automation tasks by actively monitoring context limits and breaking the process into self-contained phases to prevent interruptions.

What is the best way to run a sprint implementation and retrospective without manual intervention?

The best way to run sprint implementation and retrospectives without manual intervention is using an orchestrator that automates code implementation and conducts a retrospective after shipping.
