SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Starting work on bugs, features, improvements, or tasks can be chaotic without a guiding workflow. Kickoff provides a repeatable, end-to-end pipeline that moves work through discovery, brainstorming, planning, execution, review, shipping, and learning, with consistent gates and handoffs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Orchestrates the full development pipeline from ticket creation to post-merge learn phase, ensuring discipline and visibility.
  • Enforces configurable stages via jig.config.md and coordinates transitions between DISCOVER, REQUIREMENTS, BRAINSTORM, PLAN, EXECUTE, REVIEW, SHIP, and LEARN.
  • Supports starting new work across bugs, features, improvements, and chores with standardized entry points and gating.

Quick Start

Invoke kickoff to start a new task and guide you through the full pipeline from discovery to learning.

FAQPage Schema
How do I structure a development pipeline from ticket creation to release?

You can structure a development pipeline by orchestrating transitions across stages like DISCOVER, PLAN, EXECUTE, REVIEW, SHIP, and LEARN. This enforces consistent gates and handoffs from ticket creation to post-merge learning.

What is the best way to standardize branch naming and workflow planning for new features?

Standardizing branch naming and planning requires enforcing configurable pipeline stages via a config file like jig.config.md. This provides repeatable entry points and standardized gating for new features and bugs.

How do I start a new development task and guide it through brainstorming and execution?

You start a new development task by invoking a kickoff process that guides you through the full pipeline. It moves work items from discovery and brainstorming through execution and review with standardized gates.

Does this workflow pipeline support both bug fixes and feature improvements?

Yes, the workflow pipeline supports starting new work across bugs, features, improvements, and chores. It applies standardized entry points and gating to ensure discipline and visibility for any work item.

How does a configurable pipeline stage mechanism work for software engineering tasks?

A configurable pipeline stage mechanism enforces stages defined in a configuration file like jig.config.md. It coordinates transitions across defined phases like DISCOVER, REQUIREMENTS, and SHIP to maintain workflow discipline.
