SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Orient an agent at the start of a Kanbanzai-managed project. This skill ensures the agent immediately understands the repository context, project conventions, active decisions, and the current workflow, preventing misaligned work and wasted effort.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Session startup — Establishes current state, available work, and conventions before any implementation begins.
  • Context assembly — Prepares the initial context packet and aligns the agent with the project lifecycle (designing, specifying, implementing).
  • Guardrails & checks — Reminds the agent to read AGENTS.md, verify git status, and review stage bindings to ensure proper role assignment.

Quick Start

Begin a session by orienting the agent to the repository state and project conventions.

FAQPage Schema
How do I orient an AI agent for project management at the start of a new session?▼

Agent orientation establishes repository context, project conventions, active decisions, and current workflow state before implementation begins, preventing misaligned work and wasted effort.

What is the best way to establish context when resuming work on a Kanbanzai-managed project?▼

Establishing context at session start prepares an initial context packet, aligning the agent with the project lifecycle stage—designing, specifying, or implementing—and available work items.

How do I apply guardrails and checks to ensure proper role assignment for autonomous agents?▼

Guardrails and checks remind the agent to read AGENTS.md, verify git status, and review stage bindings to ensure proper role assignment before executing project management tasks.

Do I need to read AGENTS.md and verify git status before starting project workflow tasks?▼

Yes, reading AGENTS.md and verifying git status are required guardrails to align the agent with project conventions and repository state before beginning workflow implementation.

What conventions and protocols must an agent know before claiming work in a project workflow?▼

The agent requires knowledge of AGENTS.md, the kanbanzai-workflow, and the next/claim protocols, plus access to stage-bindings and repository configuration to claim work properly.

Why does my agent produce misaligned work when starting a new project management session?▼

Misaligned work occurs when session startup skips context assembly, missing project conventions, active decisions, and current workflow lifecycle state needed to guide implementation.
