SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Fast-path changes are needed for tiny, low-risk updates, bypassing the full discover → plan → ATDD → review chain while preserving CI gates and governance.

Core Features & Use Cases

Fast-path changes: bypass the full ATDD chain for trivial updates that still go through CI.
Governance preserved: maintains issue tracking, in-progress gating, branch creation, PR workflow, and mandatory changelog/version bump when the change qualifies for Express mode.
Use Case: small bug fixes or documentation tweaks that require minimal risk and rapid delivery.

Quick Start

Run /atdd-kit:express <issue-number> to start Express mode for a low-risk change.

FAQPage Schema

How do I bypass the full ATDD cycle for a trivial pull request?▼

You can bypass the full ATDD cycle for a trivial pull request by using Express mode, which skips discovery and planning phases while maintaining CI gates, explicit approval gates, and mandatory changelog updates.

What is Express mode for issue-driven development?▼

Express mode is a fast-path workflow for issue-driven development that implements clearly scoped, low-risk changes quickly. It skips full discovery and planning processes while enforcing branch creation, PR workflow, issue labeling, and CI gates.

Can I use Express mode for small bug fixes and documentation tweaks?▼

Yes, you can use Express mode for small bug fixes and documentation tweaks. It is specifically designed for minimal impact updates requiring rapid delivery while still maintaining issue tracking, in-progress gating, and mandatory version bumps.

How do I start an issue-driven change with Express mode?▼

To start an issue-driven change with Express mode, run the /atdd-kit:express command with your specific issue number. This initiates the fast-path workflow, applying CI gates and governance checks for your low-risk update.

Does Express mode skip CI gates for rapid change delivery?▼

No, Express mode does not skip CI gates. While it bypasses the full ATDD cycle for rapid change delivery, it explicitly preserves CI gates, explicit approval gates, and PR workflow to maintain governance over trivial updates.

When should I not use Express mode for a pull request?▼

You should not use Express mode for a pull request if the change lacks clear scoping, carries high risk, or requires the full discovery, planning, and ATDD review process. It is strictly reserved for minimal impact, low-risk updates.
