Pipeline Phase Guide

Phase detection works by checking for file existence and content markers across your project. The Skill automatically identifies your current phase—Specification, Planning, Implementation, Validation, Deployment, Learning, or Iteration—and displays your exact status within that phase.

After implementation, transition to Validation. The Skill recommends the exact next action based on quality gates and prerequisites, guiding you through validation, then deployment, learning, and iteration cycles.

Yes. Multi-project state tracking remembers each project's phase and progress independently, allowing seamless context switching. Query any project to see its current phase, completion status, and next recommended action across features and codebases.

Quality gate validation checks prerequisites against your project's constitution before allowing transitions. It ensures critical gates—Testability, Boundary, Coverage—are met and confirms prerequisites are satisfied before recommending the next phase.

The Skill requires jq for JSON processing and git for version control integration. These enable automatic phase detection, state tracking across your repositories, and integration with your project workflow.

Yes. The pipeline guide is designed for multi-project development contexts with feature-level phase tracking. It maintains per-project state, detects transitions, validates quality gates, and provides phase-aware automation commands for each feature independently.
