What problem does it solve?
The ISA skill solves the problem of vague or changing expectations by turning a goal or requirement into a hard-to-vary Ideal State Artifact that can be built, tested, reconciled, and verified across iterations.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Ideal State Artifact ownership: maintains a canonical ISA document shape that defines done as verifiable criteria rather than opinions.
- Workflow suite (five workflows): supports generating new ISAs (Scaffold), deepening missing sections via adaptive Q&A (Interview), scoring completeness against tier gates (CheckCompleteness), deterministically merging ephemeral feature excerpts back into master (Reconcile), and bootstrapping from an existing repo (Seed).
- Verification-first evolution: produces test strategies and evidence records so understanding upgrades are auditable over time.
- Use Case: when building a non-trivial feature, use ISA to scaffold an ideal-state spec, interview to fill gaps, then split work into ephemeral feature slices and reconcile them back with stable ISC IDs.
