SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Phase 0 focuses on capturing WHAT users need and WHY before coding, establishing a clear, testable intent and a scaffold for AI-assisted review that guides later phases.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Intent capture: Prompt users to articulate scope, goals, users, and acceptance criteria.
  • Structured scaffolding: Generates the .eiffel-workflow structure, including prompts and evidence placeholders.
  • Review prompts: Produces an AI-review prompt to surface gaps and ambiguities.
  • Handoff artifacts: Produces intent.md and intent-v2.md prototypes for Phase 1 readiness.

Quick Start

Run the /eiffel.intent command with a target project path, for example: /eiffel.intent /path/to/project Follow prompts to describe the project scope, goals, and users Open the generated .eiffel-workflow/intent.md and .eiffel-workflow/evidence/phase0-ai-review.md to review and proceed

FAQPage Schema
How do I capture project intent before coding to establish testable scope and goals?

Capturing project intent before coding requires articulating scope, goals, users, and acceptance criteria. This Skill scaffolds an intent.md file and AI review prompts, establishing a clear baseline for Phase 0 planning.

What is the best way to generate AI review prompts for project handoff artifacts?

Generating AI review prompts for project handoffs involves creating structured scaffolding that includes placeholders for evidence. The Skill outputs a structured folder layout with review prompts to surface gaps and ambiguities.

Does the Eiffel workflow require a specific folder layout for Phase 0 evidence and intent?

The Eiffel workflow requires a structured folder layout for Phase 0 evidence and intent. This Skill generates the .eiffel-workflow structure, including intent.md, AI review prompts, and evidence placeholders for Phase 1 readiness.

How do I create a structured workflow scaffold for project scope and acceptance criteria?

Creating a structured workflow scaffold for project scope involves running a minimal command interface. The Skill prompts users to describe project goals and users, then outputs a structured folder layout with intent prototypes.

Can I use intent.md prototypes for Phase 1 readiness in an AI-assisted review process?

Intent.md prototypes can be used for Phase 1 readiness in an AI-assisted review process. The Skill produces intent.md and intent-v2.md prototypes, creating a testable intent scaffold that guides later phases.

Why does my project need a Phase 0 intent capture before proceeding to later workflow phases?

A Phase 0 intent capture is needed to focus on what users need and why before coding begins. It establishes a testable intent and scaffold for AI-assisted review that guides and de-risks later development phases.
