SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Onboards or gap-checks a project so it can reliably follow the Disciplined Agentic Engineering (DAE) methodology with clear contracts, verified specs, and a complete feature coverage path.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • DAE adoption ceremony (full onboard): Creates the charter, manifest, storage layout, and consolidation backlog needed to reach full ATDD coverage for existing and new features.
  • Gap-check mode for established projects: Validates charter completeness, manifest schema, numbering monotonicity, tracker configuration resolution, and role consistency—then reports actionable gaps without re-onboarding.
  • Feature discovery + triage: Discovers both documented and undocumented feature-shaped chunks, ranks them with a human in the loop, and seeds the tracker to drive subsequent consolidation tasks.

Quick Start

Use the engineer.onboard skill to set up DAE for your current repository and generate the charter, manifest, and consolidation backlog.

Frequently Asked Questions about onboard

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up Disciplined Agentic Engineering for an existing repository?▼

Project onboarding initializes your repository for Disciplined Agentic Engineering by creating a charter, manifest, storage layout, and consolidation backlog to establish clear contracts and verified specs for full ATDD coverage.

What is DAE methodology gap-checking and how does it validate project manifests?▼

Gap-checking validates existing DAE setups by checking charter completeness, manifest schema, numbering monotonicity, and tracker configuration, then reports actionable gaps without re-onboarding the project.

How do I discover and triage undocumented features for ATDD coverage?▼

Feature discovery identifies documented and undocumented feature chunks, ranks them with human-in-the-loop input, and seeds the tracker to drive subsequent consolidation tasks for complete coverage.

Can I use this to generate a consolidation backlog for remote agent tasks?▼

Yes, the onboarding process produces a consolidation backlog that specifies bounded remote-agent tasks, sequencing handoffs to downstream feature-consolidation workflows for reliable execution.

What metadata is required to create a DAE charter and manifest schema?▼

Creating a DAE charter requires YAML frontmatter metadata and a 7-section charter sign-off, alongside manifest schema creation and deterministic layout bootstrap to complete the validation.
