System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

It helps you convert a spec or design doc into a complete, headless build pipeline represented as a Graphviz DOT graph, including dependency modeling, quality gates, retries, and structured prompts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Spec-to-DOT pipeline generation: Extracts phases and builds a validated DOT digraph tailored to the spec’s build workflow.
  • Autonomous headless prompts: Packs each node with self-contained instructions (including TDD, lint/format, and commit guidance) so execution does not depend on prior context.
  • Topology and dependency modeling: Chooses an appropriate pipeline structure (linear, fan-out/fan-in, or DAG with join nodes) and routes edges accordingly.
  • Reliability guardrails: Includes patterns like scope gating, per-phase verification diamonds, escalation paths, retry budgeting, resume support, and language-aware build validation.

Quick Start

Use the skill to generate a Graphviz DOT file from your design spec so you can validate and run a headless autonomous build plan.
