SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill provides a standardized, repo-native lifecycle to orchestrate spec, plan, build, test, review, simplify, and ship activities across the monorepo.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Lifecycle alignment across the repo: Define, Plan, Build, Test, Review, Simplify, Ship.
  • Adaptation guidance: follows AGENTS.md and repo-specific rules to ensure consistent tooling usage.
  • Cross-cutting support: aligns with context-engineering and source-driven development to improve task setup and governance.

Quick Start

Integrate this workflow by grounding your work in the Define/Plan/Build/Test/Review/Simplify/Ship steps, then apply the AGENTS guidelines to your tasks.

FAQPage Schema
How do I standardize engineering workflows across a monorepo?

You standardize engineering workflows across a monorepo by implementing a modular lifecycle that enforces plan, build, test, review, and ship discipline. This lifecycle provides consistent tooling usage and standardized governance across all repository tracks.

What is the define-plan-build-test-review-simplify-ship lifecycle?

The define-plan-build-test-review-simplify-ship lifecycle is a standardized repo-native process that orchestrates engineering activities from specification through shipping. It enforces clear guidance for objectives, tasks, acceptance criteria, and engineering guardrails within the repository.

How do I automate code review and testing steps in my repository?

You automate code review and testing by enforcing a modular lifecycle aligned with AGENTS.md and repo-specific rules. This approach integrates automated testing and review standards directly into the engineering workflow governance.

Does this engineering workflow automation require external dependencies?

No, this engineering workflow automation requires no external dependencies to function. It operates natively within the repository by grounding its lifecycle and governance rules in existing AGENTS.md guidelines.

Can I use this workflow for governance tasks and feature work?

Yes, you can use this workflow for governance tasks and feature work. It standardizes code changes and governance activities across all monorepo tracks, ensuring consistent planning, building, testing, reviewing, and documentation.

When should I not use a standardized repo-native engineering lifecycle?

Avoid using a standardized repo-native engineering lifecycle for isolated, ad-hoc repository changes that do not require strict planning, build, test, review, and ship discipline or cross-cutting governance alignment.
