SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill translates natural-language software requirements into deterministic Kilroy Attractor DOT pipelines. It simplifies turning ambiguous specs into testable Graphviz graphs that Kilroy can ingest, validate, and execute.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Convert English requirements into a valid .dot pipeline that Kilroy's Attractor can execute.
  • Support both concise requests and long specs; if input is vague, an expand_spec node bootstraps a detailed .ai/spec.md for later refinement.
  • Validate and run the generated pipeline with Kilroy's tooling; produce a plain .dot file suitable for CLI ingestion.

Quick Start

Provide English requirements to generate a .dot pipeline. The output will be raw .dot content starting with digraph and ending with }.

FAQPage Schema
How do I convert English software requirements into a Graphviz DOT pipeline?

To convert English requirements into a DOT pipeline, provide your natural-language software specs to generate a valid .dot file starting with digraph. The output is raw DOT content suitable for CLI ingestion and execution by Kilroy's Attractor tooling.

What happens if my natural-language spec is too vague to generate a valid DOT file?

When your natural-language spec is too vague, an expand_spec node bootstraps a detailed .ai/spec.md file. This provides a structured specification output for later refinement before generating the final executable DOT pipeline.

Can I use detailed multi-sentence specs to generate a Kilroy Attractor DOT pipeline?

Yes, you can use detailed multi-sentence specs to generate a Kilroy Attractor DOT pipeline. The translation process applies to both concise single-sentence requests and long, detailed software specifications to produce a valid graph.

Does the generated DOT pipeline include graph attributes required by Kilroy?

Yes, the generated DOT pipeline includes the required graph attributes for Kilroy. It writes a valid graph with necessary configurations and produces a status.json file for each run to track execution state.

What is the best way to validate and run a generated DOT pipeline with Kilroy tooling?

The best way to validate and run a DOT pipeline is to use Kilroy's integrated tooling to ingest the plain .dot file. The Skill produces a valid graph starting with digraph and ending with } for deterministic execution.
