SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents weak, self-approved outputs by enforcing a full Plan → Do → Check → Act workflow for knowledge work, with mandatory gates and structured review before anything ships.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Full-cycle orchestration with phase gates: enforces ordering (Plan then Do, then Check, then Act) and blocks progress when required artifacts or checkpoints are missing.
  • Sub-skill dispatch by output type: automatically selects the correct domain pipeline (e.g., research+draft, threads/newsletter/shorts/card-news formatting) inside the Do phase while still wrapping it with Plan+Check+Act rigor.
  • Multi-reviewer verification & triage: runs structured review with consensus/diversity checks, then routes fixes based on root-cause classification (research gap vs format/completeness vs execution polish).
  • Robust safety/quality controls: detects stuck loops (Plan churn, Check avoidance, scope creep), applies cycle limits, and preserves/cleans worktrees appropriately on retries.

Quick Start

Use the pdca skill to run an end-to-end knowledge work cycle for your prompt, producing a researched draft, reviewed verification, and a refined final output.

Frequently Asked Questions about pdca

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I enforce a structured review process for knowledge work to prevent weak outputs?

Enforcing a structured review process for knowledge work requires a Plan→Do→Check→Act cycle that applies strict phase gating, multi-perspective reviewer verification, and root-cause triage before any artifact ships.

What is the best way to manage an iterative content production workflow with built-in quality assurance?

Managing an iterative content production workflow with quality assurance involves dispatching sub-skills by detected output format, running consensus checks during the review phase, and routing fixes based on root-cause classification.

Can I use an iterative review cycle to generate and verify specialized Korean content formats?

You can use an iterative review cycle for specialized Korean content formats because the workflow automatically detects the output type and selects the correct domain pipeline, such as card-news or shorts formatting, inside the Do phase.

How do you handle stuck loops and scope creep during a multi-phase research and writing cycle?

Handling stuck loops and scope creep during a multi-phase research and writing cycle requires robust safety controls that detect plan churn and check avoidance, apply cycle limits, and manage worktree lifecycles appropriately on retries.

Why does my automated writing pipeline produce self-approved drafts without proper verification?

Automated writing pipelines produce self-approved drafts without proper verification when they lack mandatory checkpoints; enforcing a full cycle with structured multi-reviewer validation and triage routing prevents this issue.

Do I need a specific orchestration framework to run a Plan Do Check Act cycle for research and writing tasks?

Running a Plan Do Check Act cycle for research and writing tasks requires an orchestration framework that enforces ordering, blocks progress when artifacts are missing, and manages sub-skill dispatch across multiple output formats.
