SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

PAW Implementation Workflow Skill provides a centralized reference guide detailing the multi-phase PAW workflow, artifact structure, stage guidance, and PR routing patterns to align teams on process and expectations.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Comprehensive guidance on activity tables, artifact layout, and stage sequences for PAW projects.
  • PR routing patterns and workflow rules that govern transitions and reviews across phases.
  • Use Case: A development team uses PAW to structure spec, research, planning, and implementation, ensuring traceability and auditable decisions.

Quick Start

Review the PAW Implementation Workflow Skill documentation and PAW.agent.md to align your project with the standard workflow. No setup required; treat this as the reference guide for process design and compliance.

FAQPage Schema
What is a phased implementation workflow for software projects?

A phased implementation workflow structures software projects into distinct spec, research, planning, implementation, and PR stages. This approach ensures traceability and auditable decisions across artifacts by applying specific enforcement rules for each phase.

How do I structure spec and planning artifacts for a multi-phase development workflow?

To structure spec and planning artifacts, define an activity table and artifact layout that governs stage sequences. Store these workflow rules and artifact structures in your project's agent documentation to align the team on process expectations.

Can I use pull-request routing patterns to enforce stage transitions in a phased workflow?

Yes, pull-request routing patterns can enforce stage transitions and reviews across phases. Applying these workflow rules ensures that artifacts pass compliance checks before moving to the next implementation stage.

Does the PAW workflow require any specific setup or dependencies to start?

No specific setup is required to start. You simply review the workflow documentation and agent configuration files to align your project with the standard process design, treating the guide as a centralized reference for compliance.

What's the best way to align a development team on multi-phase process expectations?

The best way to align a team is to adopt a centralized reference guide detailing activity tables, artifact layout, and stage sequences. This ensures all members follow the same workflow rules and PR routing patterns during implementation.

When do I need a formal artifact structure for research and planning phases?

You need a formal artifact structure when your project requires traceability and auditable decisions across spec, research, and planning phases. Defining the layout and stage sequences upfront prevents process drift during implementation.
