SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill removes the friction of managing multi-spec projects by turning the instar /projects API into a guided control surface for creation, inspection, scheduling, and recovery.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Project Intake: Validate and create projects from plan documents before they enter the round workflow.
  • Status and Next-Step Guidance: Inspect project progress, see per-round breakdowns, and get the next recommended action.
  • Lifecycle Control: Advance items, run drift checks, start rounds, halt or resume work, accept partial completion, abandon inactive projects, and transfer ownership across machines.
  • Use Case: A team can register a new initiative, verify it is ready, track progress through each round, and recover safely from blockers or machine handoffs without manually stitching together API calls.

Quick Start

Ask the skill to create, inspect, or advance a project so it can validate the plan, summarize progress, and recommend the next action.

FAQPage Schema
How do I manage multi-spec project lifecycles without manual API orchestration?▼

Multi-spec project lifecycles are managed by turning the instar /projects API into a guided control surface for creation, inspection, scheduling, and recovery. This validates plans, tracks progress, and recommends next actions automatically.

How do I track project status and find the next recommended action?▼

Project status tracking is handled by inspecting progress through per-round breakdowns and applying round-state coordination. The system validates artifacts and recommends the next action to advance work safely.

Can I transfer project ownership to another machine during workflow control?▼

Yes, ownership transfer across machines is supported as part of lifecycle control. It coordinates server, poller, and ownership controls to ensure authenticated access and safe handoffs without losing project state.

What is the best way to recover from blockers or drift in multi-spec projects?▼

Recovery from blockers is achieved by running drift checks, halting, resuming, or accepting partial completion. These lifecycle controls validate project versions and artifact states to safely resume inactive workflows.

Do I need authenticated access for project creation and round scheduling?▼

Yes, authenticated access is required for project creation, manual scheduling, and round advancement. The workflow enforces project version checks and artifact validation to coordinate server and poller controls securely.
