SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The plan provides a structured, auditable approach to turning goals into concrete, file-level changes, tests, and implementation steps, enabling reliable and repeatable software development.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Enforces a design-first, TDD-aligned workflow across documentation, tests, and implementation.
  • Generates explicit file changes, milestones, and dependencies to guide issue creation and PR plans.
  • Scales from small enhancements to large refactors by breaking work into well-scoped steps.

Quick Start

Provide a complete implementation plan following the Design-first TDD order, including documentation, tests, and implementation steps.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a design-first planning workflow for feature development?

To plan TDD-driven implementation, you define explicit file changes, dependencies, and milestones before writing code. This process scales from small enhancements to large refactors by breaking work into well-scoped, auditable documentation, tests, and implementation steps.

When do I need milestone-based planning for refactoring?

Milestone-based planning distinguishes itself by generating explicit file changes and dependency orders before implementation. Unlike ad-hoc coding, this TDD-aligned approach ensures repeatable software development by enforcing design-first documentation and structured progress tracking.

Can I use this planning process for both small enhancements and large refactors?

The planning process handles bug fixes by applying a complete, auditable workflow. It enforces a design-first, TDD-driven process that defines concrete file changes, dependency orders, and milestone-based progress to guide reliable issue resolution.

What's the best way to document dependencies and file changes before implementation?

A TDD-aligned planning workflow enforces writing documentation and tests before implementation. It provides an auditable approach by defining concrete file changes, dependency orders, and milestones, ensuring reliable and repeatable software development.
