SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Coordinating multi-phase development tasks across requirements, specification, planning, implementation, and verification to enforce standards and reduce context switching.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Unified task orchestration across phases with interactive pause or YOLO modes.
  • Auto-detection of project context and alignment with coding standards and governance.
  • Artifacts management: tracking decisions, risk, and phase summaries in a centralized state.
  • Use Case: A bug fix goes through analysis, specification, implementation, verification, and documentation with traceable work logs.

Quick Start

Describe a development task and start the orchestrator with the /maister:development-new command.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate multi-phase development workflows for bug fixes and features?

Automated development workflows coordinate requirements, specification, planning, implementation, and verification phases into a single orchestrated flow. This enforces phase sequencing and decision gates, reducing context switching across end-to-end tasks.

What is the best way to enforce TDD verification and coding standards during code orchestration?

Development orchestration enforces coding standards and TDD verification by auto-detecting project context and applying optional verification steps via subagents. This ensures code modifications align with governance rules and pass quality checks.

Can I run end-to-end development tasks autonomously without interactive pauses?

Yes, end-to-end development tasks can run autonomously using YOLO mode, which skips interactive pauses. Alternatively, interactive mode pauses between phases to allow manual decision gates and risk tracking.

How do I track decisions and artifacts across a multi-phase development workflow?

Multi-phase development workflows track decisions, risks, and phase summaries in a centralized state management system. This surfaces traceable work logs and artifacts under .maister directories for full auditability.

Does development orchestration work for infrastructure migrations and refactoring?

Yes, development orchestration applies to any task modifying code or infrastructure, including migrations and refactors. It coordinates the full workflow from analysis to documentation with traceable logs.

What are the limitations of using a unified orchestrator for development phases?

Unified orchestration requires strict phase sequencing, meaning you cannot skip requirements or specification steps before implementation. This structured approach may add overhead for trivial tweaks but ensures traceability for complex modifications.
