SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Product teams often struggle with inconsistent workflows and governance across the entire product development lifecycle. This skill provides a repeatable, end-to-end process from context loading to deployment, ensuring alignment, traceability, and faster delivery.

Core Features & Use Cases

Defines a seven-step pipeline: /prime → /brief → /shape → /linear → /tdd → /review → /ship with explicit inputs, outputs, and gates.
Supports multi-phase HITL execution to manage large initiatives by splitting work into fresh contexts while preserving canonical destinations.
Provides structured artifacts (destination + journey) and clear decision gates to reduce ambiguity and rework.

Quick Start

Run the lifecycle pipeline from planning to deployment to bootstrap a new product initiative.

How do I automate the product lifecycle workflow from planning to deployment?▼

You can automate the product lifecycle workflow by running a seven-step pipeline that coordinates context loading, requirement shaping, project planning, and deployment orchestration to ensure end-to-end traceability.

What is multi-phase HITL execution for managing large product initiatives?▼

Multi-phase HITL execution splits large product initiatives into fresh contexts while preserving canonical destinations, ensuring structured artifacts and clear decision gates reduce ambiguity and rework.

How do I standardize SDLC workflow governance for my product team?▼

Standardize SDLC workflow governance by applying a repeatable, end-to-end process with explicit inputs, outputs, and gates across seven steps, ensuring alignment and faster delivery across teams.

Can I use this lifecycle pipeline for requirement shaping and project planning?▼

Yes, the lifecycle pipeline supports requirement shaping and project planning through its /prime, /brief, and /shape phases, generating phase-specific artifacts to maintain guardrails.

What's the best way to maintain traceability across the product development lifecycle?▼

Maintain traceability by utilizing multi-phase HITL execution with canonical destinations and phase-specific artifacts, ensuring every step from context loading to deployment is tracked.

Does this SDLC workflow require any specific dependencies to run?▼

No specific dependencies are required to run this SDLC workflow, as the skill operates independently to orchestrate end-to-end product delivery without relying on external components.
