SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Proactively identifying interface boundaries enables safe parallel development, reduces integration risk, and speeds up delivery by allowing independent components to evolve concurrently.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Formal interface contracts with Abstract Base Classes or Protocols
  • Complete type hints and comprehensive docstrings
  • Guidance for parallel development and integration of multiple agents
  • Example patterns and task setup for coordinating contracts across teams

Quick Start

Define the interface contract for your components and implement parallel providers that conform to the contract.

Frequently Asked Questions about interface-contracts

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I define interface contracts for parallel agent development?▼

You define interface contracts by creating an Abstract Base Class or Protocol with abstract methods, complete type hints, and comprehensive docstrings. This enforces clear boundaries for components operating concurrently.

When do I need a formal interface contract for multi-agent planning?▼

A formal interface contract is needed when multiple components operate concurrently and require clear boundaries. It proactively enables safe parallel development, reduces integration risk, and speeds up delivery.

What's the best way to enforce type hints and test coverage for agent interfaces?▼

The best way to enforce type hints and test coverage is by defining a formal interface contract using an Abstract Base Class or Protocol, accompanied by unit tests that verify the contract.

Does using an Abstract Base Class vs Protocol matter for defining agent boundaries?▼

Both Abstract Base Classes and Protocols define formal interface boundaries for parallel providers. The skill provides guidance on applying either pattern to coordinate contracts across teams.

How do I set up tasks for coordinating interface contracts across teams?▼

You set up tasks by applying the provided example patterns for coordinating contracts across teams. This allows independent components to evolve concurrently and integrate safely.

Why use a formal interface contract instead of direct integration for concurrent components?▼

Using a formal interface contract instead of direct integration reduces integration risk and speeds up delivery by allowing independent components to evolve concurrently without breaking boundaries.
