factory-iteration-model

What problem does it solve?

This Skill eliminates the risk of stale downstream artifacts, broken workflows, and inconsistent versioning when upstream product specifications change during domain-driven incremental software development, removing the need for manual sync checks across SDLC agents.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Deterministic Change Classification: Automatically categorizes spec changes as additive DELTA, potential BREAKING_CANDIDATE, or confirmed BREAKING to determine the correct iteration or version workflow.
• Iteration Gap Detection Gate: Blocks downstream agents from processing stale artifacts by detecting mismatches between upstream spec iterations and downstream artifact versions, prompting users to choose DELTA, FULL, or SKIP sync options.
• Automated Cascade Invalidation: Pushes pending iteration flags to all affected downstream artifacts, reopens stale governance gate issues, and propagates contract changes across dependent features to maintain full traceability.
• Use Case: For a team building an e-commerce platform using the Myrmion AI Factory, when a CODESIGN agent adds a new optional payment method to an approved AUTH feature spec, this Skill automatically classifies the change as a DELTA iteration, notifies BLUEPRINT and IMPLEMENT agents of the pending update, and invalidates only the affected test and design sections instead of requiring full artifact regeneration.

Quick Start

Use the factory-iteration-model skill to classify a proposed change to the inventory management feature spec and automatically trigger the correct downstream cascade invalidation workflow for all affected SDLC agents.
