SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automates the end-to-end execution of all plans within a phase, coordinating progression and state updates across planning, execution, and verification steps.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Orchestrates execution of all plans in a phase in the correct order.
  • Validates each plan against criteria and updates the global state.
  • Use Case: When a phase contains multiple plans across Foundation, Features, and Tests, this skill ensures they run sequentially and the phase status advances automatically.

Quick Start

Run the execute phase command with a phase number to process all plans and advance to the next phase.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate execution of all plans within a phase?

To automate phase execution, this skill orchestrates all plans sequentially, validating each against criteria and updating the global state so the phase advances automatically upon completion.

What is spec-driven phase execution and how does it manage state?

Spec-driven phase execution coordinates progression across planning, execution, and verification steps. It manages state by updating STATE.md after each plan validates, ensuring workflow continuity.

How do I run multiple plans sequentially and verify phase status?

You run multiple plans sequentially by triggering the execute phase command with a phase number. The skill processes each plan in order, auto-verifies the phase, and updates phase status automatically.

Can I use this to execute phase plans that span Foundation, Features, and Tests?

Yes, this skill is designed for phases containing multiple plans across Foundation, Features, and Tests. It ensures they run sequentially and the phase status advances automatically after validation.

What's the best way to coordinate progression and state updates across planning and verification steps?

The best way to coordinate progression is using an automated phase execution skill that handles state updates across planning, execution, and verification, validating each plan before advancing.

Why do I need automated phase execution for spec-driven workflows?

You need automated phase execution to ensure plans run in the correct order, criteria validation occurs before progression, and STATE.md reflects accurate phase status without manual intervention.
