SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

## What problem does it solve? This Skill automates the end-to-end execution of context-rich development stories by orchestrating discovery, activation, context loading, task execution, and DoD validation, ensuring consistency and traceability.

## Core Features & Use Cases

  • Orchestrates the full dev-story workflow, including discovery, context extraction, status management, and DoD validation.
  • Supports both sprint-based and standalone stories, with comprehensive guidance from Dev Notes and project context.
  • Enforces red-green-refactor cycle, tests, and updated artifacts (File List, Change Log, Dev Agent Record).

### Quick Start Start by loading the next ready story from sprint-status.yaml (or a specified story file), then execute all tasks in order until the DoD is satisfied.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate development story execution from discovery to Definition of Done?

Automating development story execution involves orchestrating discovery, context loading, task execution, and DoD validation. This Skill coordinates the full workflow, enforcing red-green-refactor cycles, tests, and artifact updates like File List and Change Logs for consistency.

How does sprint management integrate with standalone story workflows?

Sprint management integrates by loading the next ready story from a sprint-status.yaml file, while also supporting direct standalone story files. This dual approach allows teams to execute tasks in order and satisfy DoD criteria regardless of the project management format.

Can I enforce test-driven development and documentation updates during dev-workflow automation?

Yes, dev-workflow automation enforces the red-green-refactor cycle, runs tests, and updates documentation artifacts. It validates Definition of Done criteria while integrating with project context and Dev Notes to ensure comprehensive traceability and quality control.

What is the best way to manage context loading for sprint-based development stories?

The best way to manage context loading is through automated orchestration that extracts project context and Dev Notes during story activation. This ensures tasks execute with comprehensive guidance, maintaining status management and validating DoD requirements end-to-end.

Do I need a sprint-status.yaml file to orchestrate end-to-end production story workflows?

No, a sprint-status.yaml file is not strictly required. While the workflow supports sprint-based discovery via this file, you can also specify direct story files to activate and execute tasks, making it flexible for standalone development stories.
