SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Guides teams through the interview process to determine what to build, scaffolds artifacts with valid frontmatter, checks for overlap with existing artifacts, and verifies that the artifact loads correctly.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Interview-driven decisions: Guides the user through an interview to determine the intended artifact (skill, specialist, agent, pack, or config change).
  • Scaffolding with validation: Creates frontmatter-compliant artifacts and validates alignment with existing inventory.
  • Load-time verification: Ensures the new artifact loads correctly in the Jig environment.
  • Trigger-based scope: Activated by intents such as "create a skill", "add a specialist", "extend the framework", or /extend.

Quick Start

Invoke the /extend command to start scaffolding a new Jig artifact.

FAQPage Schema
How do I scaffold new Jig artifacts with valid frontmatter?

To scaffold new Jig artifacts with valid frontmatter, invoke the /extend command to start an interview-driven process that determines the artifact type, validates fields against jig.config.md, and generates the compliant file.

What is the interview process for creating new skills, specialists, or agents?

The interview process for creating new skills, specialists, or agents is a guided interaction that determines the intended artifact type, checks for overlap with existing inventory, and validates load-time correctness before scaffolding.

How do I check for overlap when adding new config changes or packs?

To check for overlap when adding new config changes or packs, the scaffolding process reads jig.config.md for the Concerns Checklist and automatically validates the new artifact against existing inventory to prevent conflicts.

Does the Jig scaffolding process verify that new artifacts load correctly?

Yes, the Jig scaffolding process includes load-time verification to ensure that newly created skills, specialists, agents, packs, or config changes load correctly within the Jig environment.

When should I use the extend command to scaffold framework artifacts?

Use the extend command when creating new skills, specialists, agents, packs, or config changes within Jig, especially when you need guided interview decisions, frontmatter validation, and overlap checks before generating files.

Why does my new Jig artifact need frontmatter validation?

New Jig artifacts need frontmatter validation to ensure compliance with framework standards, verify alignment with existing inventory through the Concerns Checklist, and guarantee load-time correctness in the Jig environment.
