gtkb-spec-intake

Requirement intake workflows can capture owner-stated requirements as deferred deliberation candidates without creating specs or artifacts. The requirement remains in a pending state until the owner explicitly confirms or rejects it, ensuring an auditable governance trail.

The confirm-before-mutate pattern defers any knowledge base spec creation until an explicit owner confirmation is provided. It enforces audit trail consistency by recording the changed_by attribution and capturing the owner_decision deliberation only upon successful promotion.

To reject a requirement, you must provide a non-empty rationale. The system then records a no_go deliberation capturing the rejection reason without creating a specified artifact, maintaining a clear and explainable governance history.

Yes, a captured requirement candidate can be promoted into a governed knowledge base spec. Running the confirmation process after the owner's explicit approval creates the specified spec and records the corresponding owner decision deliberation.

Yes, this requirement intake and governance tracking operates without external dependencies. It uses internal helpers to manage the deliberation lifecycle, ensuring requirements are tracked, reviewed, and confirmed entirely within its own workflow.

Use a deferred deliberation candidate when requirements must be tracked and reviewed before altering a governed knowledge base. This approach prevents premature mutations by ensuring specs are only created after explicit owner confirmation and attribution.
