SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you understand where a product initiative currently stands in the development pipeline and move it to the next phase when needed.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Phase Detection: Reads the canonical pipeline state to determine whether the work is in validation, exploration, design, development, launch, iteration, incident handling, or retrospective.
  • Phase Switching: Updates the active phase on request and keeps the project context synchronized.
  • Artifact Awareness: Lists the outputs produced in the current phase so teams can quickly see what has been completed.
  • Use Case: Ask for the current phase before starting work, or switch from design to development once the PRD and specs are ready.

Quick Start

Ask to show the current phase for this repository and summarize the artifacts produced so far.

FAQPage Schema
How do I track product development pipeline phases and artifacts?

Product development pipeline phases are tracked by reading the canonical pipeline state to detect the active stage. It identifies whether work is in validation, exploration, design, development, launch, iteration, incident handling, or retrospective.

How do I switch product workflow phases from design to development?

Switching product workflow phases from design to development requires invoking phase transition scripts that update the active phase state. This controlled transition keeps project context and output history synchronized across the pipeline.

What is a canonical pipeline state in product development?

Canonical pipeline state in product development is the authoritative record tracking an initiative's current phase. It enables phase awareness and artifact tracking across structured workflows like exploration, design, development, launch, and retrospective.

Can I list artifacts produced during the current product development phase?

You can list artifacts produced during the current product development phase by reading the canonical pipeline state. It summarizes outputs completed in stages like validation, design, or iteration for quick team visibility.

When should I use controlled phase transitions in product workflows?

Controlled phase transitions in product workflows are used when structured development processes require phase awareness and artifact tracking. They ensure outputs and history remain consistent before moving initiatives between stages like design and development.
