SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill enforces Kanbanzai workflow gates, lifecycle transitions, and human-approval points to prevent premature progression and ensure traceable decisions across plans, features, and tasks.

Core Features & Use Cases

Enforces stage gates and lifecycle transitions according to the reference lifecycle rules.
Validates whenever human approval is required and supports recording approvals with documented actions.
Supports emergency brakes to stop and ask when a human decision is needed, or when scope changes occur.
Logs transitions, overrides (with reasons), and preserves auditability for audits and governance.

Quick Start

Ask the agent to validate the current feature's lifecycle stage against the allowed transitions and required approvals.

FAQPage Schema

How do I enforce workflow gates and lifecycle transitions for feature development?▼

Workflow gates and lifecycle transitions are enforced by validating documented prerequisites across planning, design, specification, development, and release stages to determine whether to advance, halt, or require human approval before progressing.

What is a lifecycle gate check and when do I need human approval?▼

A lifecycle gate check validates stage transitions against documented prerequisites. Human approval is required when scope changes occur or when an emergency brake is triggered, ensuring traceable decisions and preventing premature progression.

How do I override a workflow gate and log the transition reason for audits?▼

Workflow gate overrides are supported by recording a reason for the transition. All transitions, including overrides and approvals, are logged to preserve auditability and ensure governance across the entire feature lifecycle.

Can I validate my current feature's lifecycle stage against allowed transitions?▼

You can validate your current feature's lifecycle stage by asking the agent to check it against allowed transitions. The system applies gate checks to determine if the feature should advance, halt, or require approval.

Does stage transition enforcement work across planning, design, and release phases?▼

Stage transition enforcement works across planning, design, specification, development, and release phases. It applies gate checks at each phase to prevent premature progression and maintain auditable lifecycle decisions.
