SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

It prevents misaligned engineering work by turning an approved plan document into bounded, validated code changes that stay consistent with the product contract.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Plan-driven implementation: Executes work strictly in the order of plan.md while treating spec.md as the source of truth for user-visible behavior and correctness.
  • Small, bounded changes with guardrails: Stops when the plan becomes invalid or when contract ambiguities threaten correctness, and routes architectural changes back through the orchestrator when needed.
  • Evidence-ready handoff: Produces either a plan-consistent implementation ready for implementation-review or uses execution.md (from the provided template) to record concise validation and deviations for more complex steps.

Quick Start

Use implement-plan to apply the approved workflow plan at docs/workflows/{slug}/plan.md and hand off a validated, ready-for-implementation-review implementation.

FAQPage Schema
How do I implement an approved workflow plan while preserving the spec contract?

Plan-driven implementation executes work strictly in the order of plan.md while treating spec.md as the source of truth for user-visible behavior and correctness, applying bounded, validated code changes.

What happens when a workflow plan becomes invalid or ambiguous during implementation?

When the plan becomes invalid or contract ambiguities threaten correctness, implementation stops and routes architectural changes back through the orchestrator rather than proceeding with uncertain modifications.

How do I record validation evidence for complex implementation steps?

Use the execution.md template to record concise validation and deviations for complex steps, producing evidence-ready handoff documentation for the implementation review process.

Can I use this approach for UI changes that require visual verification?

Yes, this workflow supports rendered UI changes by requiring disciplined validation and verification before handing off to implementation-review with clear progress and next steps.

What's the best way to hand off completed implementation work for review?

Produce a plan-consistent implementation ready for implementation-review, including execution.md evidence with validation details and any recorded deviations from the original plan.

Do I need an approved plan document before starting implementation?

Yes, this requires an approved workflow plan at docs/workflows/{slug}/plan.md and treats the spec contract from docs/workflows/{slug}/spec.md as the source of truth for correctness.
