SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

After deployment, teams need a clean, auditable closure that updates roadmaps, archives artifacts, updates documentation, and removes obsolete branches, ensuring knowledge is preserved for future work.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Epic Walkthrough Generation (NEW in v5.0): generates a comprehensive walkthrough and audit report for epics to capture velocity, lessons learned, and improvement opportunities.
  • Update Roadmap: moves shipped features to the Shipped section with version and deployment details.
  • Archive Artifacts: ensures all specs, plans, and reports are preserved in specs/NNN-slug/.
  • Update Documentation: updates README, CHANGELOG, and user guides for shipped features.
  • Clean Up Branches: deletes feature branches post-merge or deployment.
  • Commit Finalization: creates a concise finalization commit documenting changes and state.yaml updates.
  • State Tracking: updates finalization status in state.yaml.
  • Quality & Compliance: produces artifacts that support post-mortem analysis and compliance.

Quick Start

After deployment completes, run the finalization workflow to close out the feature and seal the project state.
