drafts-tiered-system

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents draft-system chaos by standardizing how teams create, organize, promote, consolidate, and index L1–L9 drafts under a single root directory.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Tiered draft management (L1–L9): Enforces maturity-based placement where new ideas start at L9 and move toward L1 as they stabilize.
• Topic-based consolidation: Guides collecting related L* drafts into topics/<topic-name>/ once they form a coherent theme.
• Spec-ready writing conventions: Provides a recommended frontmatter schema (e.g., id, title, status, value, priority, depends_on, related) and a structured spec template for US/FR/NFR/SC items.
• Operational workflow support: Defines end-to-end processes for “create new drafts,” “triage and move forward,” “consolidate,” and “integrate into formal specs” while keeping an index in sync.

Quick Start

Use this instruction to generate a new draft compliant with the tiered system: create a new L9 draft named "Agent boundary notes" under the drafts root docs/specs/drafts with status draft, value background, and priority later, including the required frontmatter and a first-pass spec structure.
