SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Polish and refine a built application through a guided iteration loop, helping teams surface improvements, validate changes, and close gaps before handoff.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Mode-aware framing that adapts the iteration approach based on build status and time constraints.
  • Persona adaptation to tailor feedback style and recommendations.
  • Session logging and friction tracking to surface actionable improvements.
  • Documentation updates and checkpoint generation to populate docs/checklist.md with concrete tasks.

Quick Start

Initiate /iterate after a build to polish the app with a guided, mode-aware refinement pass.

FAQPage Schema
How do I polish and refine an application after a build?

You can polish and refine an application after a build by running a guided iteration loop. This process surfaces quick improvements, aligns on next steps, and generates an updated checklist with concrete tasks.

What is guided iteration for build improvement?

Guided iteration for build improvement is a refinement loop that surfaces quick improvements and validates changes after an application is built. It adapts its approach based on build status, time constraints, and persona feedback style.

How do I track friction and generate a checklist for app refinement?

You track friction and generate a checklist for app refinement using session logging and friction triggers. This process automatically populates docs/checklist.md with concrete tasks and documentation updates.

Can I adapt feedback style during application refinement based on different roles?

Yes, you can adapt feedback style during application refinement using persona adaptation. This feature tailors feedback style and recommendations to align with different roles involved in the polish process.

Does guided iteration work with time constraints and different build statuses?

Yes, guided iteration works with time constraints and different build statuses through mode-aware framing. This approach adapts the iteration strategy based on the current build status and available time before handoff.

When should I use a guided iteration loop for polishing my build?

You should use a guided iteration loop for polishing your build after the main build is complete and before handoff. It helps teams surface improvements, validate changes, and close gaps to ensure the application is fully refined.
