SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill coordinates multi-stage work where each stage depends on the previous one, ensuring tasks progress in a controlled, predictable way.

Core Features & Use Cases

Define stages and checkpoints to enforce strict sequencing across the workflow.
Implement explicit handoffs between stages to preserve context and artifacts.
Include clear exit criteria and failure handling to prevent cascading errors.
Use case: design → implement → test → review pipelines with measurable deliverables.

Quick Start

Define Pipeline: outline stages, inputs, and expected outputs.
Specify Checkpoints and Handoffs: attach exit criteria and context between stages.
Execute Stage by Stage: run the workflow sequentially, validate artifacts, and stop on failure.

FAQPage Schema

How do I orchestrate multi-stage workflows with sequential handoffs?▼

Orchestrate sequential work by defining stages with explicit handoffs between them. Specify inputs, outputs, and exit criteria for each stage to enforce progression, preserve context through handoffs, and prevent stage-skipping in design-implement-test-review pipelines.

What's the best way to handle failures in sequential workflows?▼

Build failure handling into each stage checkpoint. Define exit criteria that must be met before advancing, and stop execution on failure to prevent cascading errors. This ensures workflows fail safely at the right stage rather than progressing with incomplete work.

How do I set up checkpoints to enforce workflow progression?▼

Set up checkpoints as validation gates between stages. Attach measurable exit criteria to each checkpoint, validate artifacts before handoff, and execute stage by stage sequentially. Checkpoints prevent progression until requirements are met.

Can I use pipelines for design-implement-test-review workflows?▼

Yes. Pipelines are designed for workflows that progress linearly through design, implement, test, and review phases. Each phase depends on the previous one, with explicit handoffs preserving context and deliverables through the full cycle.

What's the difference between orchestrating workflows with handoffs versus running stages independently?▼

Handoff-based orchestration preserves context and artifacts between stages, enforces strict sequencing, and prevents out-of-order execution. Independent stages lose context, lack coordination, and risk incomplete or misaligned work flowing downstream.

How do I preserve context and artifacts when transitioning between workflow stages?▼

Implement explicit handoffs between stages to pass context, intermediate artifacts, and state forward. Define what each stage outputs and what the next stage requires as input, ensuring measurable deliverables are preserved through the handoff.
