SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The Forge skill automates the manual orchestration work required to move a software change quickly from a primary specification checkpoint through design, implementation, review, and improvement, reducing context switches and operator overhead for rapid delivery.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multi-stage orchestration: Advances a change across clarifying-intent, slicing-stories, sketching-design, rapid-implementing, code-reviewing, and code-improving stages with a single main checkpoint.
  • Codex entrypoint and worker composition: Keeps orchestration in the main session while delegating stage work to sibling skills and reusing Praxis runtime contracts and orchestrator modules.
  • Use Case: Accelerate small-to-medium scoped changes when the user requests faster delivery via /forge or when tests are not being authored and auto-advancement is preferred.

Quick Start

Run the forge workflow to rapidly advance the current change from a single spec through design, implementation, review, and improvement within the Praxis repository.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate software change orchestration from spec to code review?

Automating software change orchestration advances a change through design, implementation, review, and improvement stages from a single main spec checkpoint. The workflow coordinates sibling stage skills while maintaining main session orchestration to reduce operator overhead.

What is multi-stage workflow automation for rapid code delivery?

Multi-stage workflow automation for rapid code delivery moves a change across clarifying-intent, slicing-stories, sketching-design, rapid-implementing, code-reviewing, and code-improving stages. It uses a single checkpoint and auto-advancement to minimize context switches during fast-paced engineering.

Can I use Codex-driven automation for small to medium scoped changes?

Yes, Codex-driven automation is designed to accelerate small-to-medium scoped changes. It keeps orchestration in the main session while delegating stage work to sibling skills and reusing runtime contracts for rapid delivery when auto-advancement is preferred.

Does the Praxis Forge workflow require writing tests to advance stages?

No, the Praxis Forge workflow does not require writing tests to advance stages. It is specifically built for rapid delivery scenarios where tests are not being authored and auto-advancement across stages is preferred over manual stage validation.

What's the best way to coordinate sibling stage skills during code implementation?

Coordinating sibling stage skills during code implementation is handled by the main session orchestrator. It delegates work to sibling skills for rapid-implementing, code-reviewing, and code-improving while utilizing repository-level run and stage-result contracts for validation and resume bookkeeping.

When should I avoid using automated workflow orchestration for code delivery?

You should avoid automated workflow orchestration when manual oversight is required across stages, or when test authoring is mandatory for your delivery pipeline. The workflow relies on a single checkpoint and auto-advancement, which may bypass necessary manual validation for complex changes.
