What problem does it solve?

phaseflow helps you move a complex engineering phase forward in a controlled engineering loop by using a design source as the decision truth and a control document as the execution and gatekeeping truth.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Design-driven phase control: Uses design_doc as the primary authority for phase design, planning, and review judgments to ensure outcomes match the intended architecture and success criteria.
  • Total control via control_doc: Reads and continuously updates the phase state, work-unit status, artifact paths, commit hashes, review conclusions, residual risks, and next entry points.
  • Multi-agent routing and review adjudication: Dispatches specialist agents, consolidates independent reviews, and records durable accept/reject/defer findings with risk tracking.
  • Gate-based progression: Advances from phase discussion through aggregate deep review to ready-to-open-draft-PR, then (after user authorization) continues through the draft PR gate until draft-PR-pass.

Quick Start

Run phaseflow with your design document and implementation control document so it can read control_doc first, then plan and route work to move the current phase to the draft PR gate.

FAQPage Schema
How do I move a complex engineering phase from design to a draft PR?

Drive phase development from design to draft PR by ingesting a control document for execution truth and a design document for decision truth, then routing work through specialist agents and gate-based progression until the draft PR passes.

What is design-driven phase control for feature execution?

Design-driven phase control uses a design document as the primary authority for planning and review judgments, ensuring feature execution outcomes match the intended architecture and success criteria.

How do I track residual risks and review adjudication during a code refactor?

Track residual risks and review adjudication by continuously updating a control document with work-unit status, review conclusions, and durable accept, reject, or defer findings throughout the refactor phase.

Can I use agent orchestration to manage PR gates for a migration?

Yes, agent orchestration dispatches specialist agents for implementation and consolidates independent reviews to govern migration PR gates from phase discussion through ready-to-open-draft-PR to draft-PR-pass.

Do I need a control document to enforce phase boundaries and entry criteria?

Yes, a control document is required as the execution and gatekeeping truth to enforce phase boundaries, track entry and exit criteria, and record commit hashes and next entry points.

When should I not use gate-based phase progression?

Gate-based phase progression should be avoided when phase boundaries, explicit entry and exit criteria, and residual risk tracking are not required for the engineering task.
