SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill solves the challenge of managing high-risk or complex software development tasks that exceed the scope of simple, single-pass coding sessions by enforcing a structured, multi-phase lifecycle.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Phase-Gated Workflow: Enforces strict progression through Define, Design, Plan, Implement, Verify, and Ship phases.
  • Evidence-Based Enforcement: Uses automated hooks to verify implementation evidence and prevent unauthorized project writes outside of designated phases.
  • Use Case: Use this for major feature rollouts or architectural refactors where traceability, success criteria validation, and rigorous state management are required to ensure project integrity.

Quick Start

Initiate a new large story workflow by running the sweetclaude go command followed by your project objective in natural language.

FAQPage Schema
How do I manage complex software development lifecycles with strict traceability?

Managing complex software development lifecycles requires a controller-enforced, evidence-gated workflow that coordinates multi-phase execution. This approach enforces strict progression through definition, design, implementation, and verification phases to ensure project safety.

What is evidence-gated workflow automation for software development?

Evidence-gated workflow automation uses automated hooks to verify implementation evidence and prevent unauthorized project writes. It ensures high-rigor task completion by enforcing success criteria contracts before allowing progression to subsequent project phases.

How do I enforce multi-phase execution for large-scale architectural refactors?

Enforcing multi-phase execution for large-scale architectural refactors requires a controller-managed state system. This system strictly regulates progression through Define, Design, Plan, Implement, Verify, and Ship phases to maintain project integrity.

Can I use automated enforcement hooks to prevent unauthorized project writes?

Yes, automated enforcement hooks prevent unauthorized project writes by validating implementation evidence outside designated phases. These hooks enforce controller-managed state and success criteria contracts to guarantee traceability and safety.

When do I need a phase-gated workflow for software development tasks?

You need a phase-gated workflow for software development tasks involving major feature rollouts or high-risk architectural refactors. It is required when traceability, success criteria validation, and rigorous state management exceed simple single-pass coding sessions.

Does the Large Story workflow support success criteria contracts for high-rigor tasks?

Yes, the Large Story workflow requires strict adherence to controller-managed state and success criteria contracts for high-rigor tasks. It uses automated enforcement hooks to validate these contracts across definition, design, implementation, and verification phases.
