SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill automates gatekeeping to ensure a project is ready to advance to the next development stage by validating required artifacts and stage gates, producing PASS/CONCERNS/FAIL with actionable blockers and artifact requirements.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Artifact validation: checks the presence and content of required documents and deliverables.
  • Stage progression evaluation: determines readiness for transitions between stages (concept → system design, technical setup → prototyping, pre-production → production, polishing → release).
  • Obstacle reporting and recommendations: outputs blockers with suggested artifacts and actions to resolve.
  • Use Case: When moving from system design to technical setup, gate-check ensures all MVP artifacts are present before proceeding.

Quick Start

Invoke this skill to determine readiness for the next development stage and report PASS/CONCERNS/FAIL with blockers and required artifacts.

FAQPage Schema
How do I verify project readiness before advancing to the next development stage?

To verify project readiness for advancing to the next development stage, evaluate required artifacts and stage gates to validate their presence and content. This process outputs a structured PASS, CONCERNS, or FAIL result with recommended actions for resolving blockers.

What is a stage gate check in project management?

A stage gate check in project management is an evaluation mechanism that determines if a project is ready to transition between phases, such as concept to system design. It validates required deliverables and reports blockers to ensure quality gates are met.

How do I validate required artifacts before moving from pre-production to production?

To validate required artifacts before moving from pre-production to production, automate gatekeeping to check the presence and content of necessary deliverables. This generates a PASS or FAIL status while reporting specific blockers that need resolution.

Can I get recommended actions when artifact validation reports a blocker?

Yes, when artifact validation reports a blocker, you can get recommended actions. The evaluation reports obstacles as CONCERNS or FAIL and outputs suggested artifacts and specific actions to resolve the blockers before stage progression.

Does stage gate evaluation work for transitions like polishing to release?

Stage gate evaluation works for transitions like polishing to release by verifying artifacts and quality gates. It applies to various stage progressions including technical setup to prototyping and conceptual to system design, ensuring all required deliverables are present.

What is the best way to automate gatekeeping for milestone progression?

The best way to automate gatekeeping for milestone progression is to validate required artifacts and evaluate stage gates automatically. This generates a structured readiness report with PASS, CONCERNS, or FAIL results and actionable blockers.
