SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automates the selection and processing of the next incomplete PRD user story by dispatching to the appropriate subagent, verifying results, and committing on success.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Reads a PRD (prd.json) containing userStories, computes progress, and surfaces the next candidate.
  • Dispatches the selected story to the mapped subagent (e.g., fullstack-dev, api-dev, frontend-dev, etc.) and runs a verification sequence with configurable steps and maxRetries.
  • Writes back progress to prd.json with 2-space indentation, updating in_progress and passes fields for auditable traceability.

Quick Start

Invoke this skill to process the next incomplete PRD story, optionally passing a specific story ID as an argument to target a particular story.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate processing the next incomplete PRD user story?

To automate PRD story orchestration, invoke this skill to read a prd.json file, select the next incomplete user story, and dispatch it to the appropriate subagent for execution.

Can I target a specific user story ID in my prd.json for orchestration?

Yes, you can target a specific user story for orchestration by passing the desired story ID as an argument, overriding the automatic sequential selection of the next incomplete story.

How does agent dispatch handle verification and retries for user stories?

Agent dispatch processes user stories by sending them to mapped subagents like frontend-dev or api-dev, then runs a configurable verification sequence with defined maxRetries before committing.

What format does the PRD file need to be in for story orchestration?

PRD story orchestration requires a prd.json file containing a userStories array, and writes progress updates back to this file using 2-space indentation for auditable traceability.

Does the orchestration workflow track progress and commit changes automatically?

The orchestration workflow tracks progress by updating in_progress and passes fields in prd.json, and automatically commits changes only after the verification sequence succeeds.

What happens if verification fails during PRD story processing?

If verification fails during PRD story processing, the workflow applies a configurable retry mechanism up to maxRetries before stopping, preventing invalid commits and ensuring story quality.
