FAQPage Schema
How do I enforce document approval workflows in a Kanbanzai-managed project?▼

Document approval workflows are enforced by applying lifecycle types and registration gates to markdown files. Documents pass through defined approval steps before being formally registered, ensuring ownership and traceability throughout the project lifecycle.

What document lifecycle types are supported for markdown files in Kanbanzai?▼

Supported document lifecycle types include design, specification, dev-plan, research, report, and policy. These types dictate the specific registration, approval, and progression gates applied to markdown documents within configured project roots.

How do I handle document drift and content hash refresh for markdown specifications?▼

Document drift is handled by monitoring content hashes and triggering a refresh when markdown specifications fall out of sync. The skill detects content changes and updates the hash to maintain traceability and lifecycle integrity.

Can I supersede or delete design documents while preserving version history?▼

Yes, you can supersede, move, or delete design documents while preserving their history. The skill manages these lifecycle transitions to prevent orphaned content and maintain a traceable record of ownership and progression.

Do I need configured document roots to register markdown files for approval tracking?▼

Yes, configured document roots are required. Markdown documents must be created within these specified roots to be recognized by the system for type enforcement, registration, and approval gate tracking.
