SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This workflow creates a complete, phase-driven implementation plan before coding, capturing decisions and design tradeoffs to prevent scope creep and miscommunication.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • PRD & Design Analysis: analyzes PRDs and architecture considerations to surface gaps and decisions.
  • Technical Analysis & ADRs: proposes architecture options, records ADRs, and documents tradeoffs.
  • Scope & Team Allocation: determines required research agents and roles, and yields a structured execution plan.
  • Plan Creation & Documentation: outputs a formal plan file with decisions, tasks, and testing strategy, plus ADR artifacts.
  • Metrics & Auto-Transition: records phase durations and readiness to auto-transition to validation when possible.

Quick Start

Run /plan-pipeline:start to generate the complete implementation plan for the given request.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create an implementation plan before writing code?

To create an implementation plan before coding, this workflow runs five phases: PRD analysis, design review, architecture decisions, dynamic research team, and metrics. It outputs a formal plan document with ADRs to guide development and reduce risk.

What is an ADR and how does it fit into project planning?

An ADR, or Architecture Decision Record, documents design tradeoffs and technical choices. This planning workflow generates ADR artifacts alongside the formal plan file to capture architecture options and prevent scope creep during development.

How do I analyze a PRD to surface gaps and technical decisions?

Analyzing a PRD to surface gaps involves running structured phase outputs against the document. This workflow reviews your PRD and architecture considerations to identify missing requirements and propose technical decisions before execution.

Can I use this workflow to allocate research agents for my project?

Yes, you can use this workflow to allocate research agents. The scope and team allocation phase determines required research agents and roles, yielding a structured execution plan with clear task assignments.

What's the best way to document architecture tradeoffs for a new project?

The best way to document architecture tradeoffs is through a phase-driven planning workflow that proposes architecture options and records ADRs. This captures decisions formally and reduces miscommunication across the team.

Does the plan-pipeline workflow auto-transition to validation?

Yes, the plan-pipeline workflow auto-transitions to validation when possible. It records phase durations and readiness metrics, then validates the generated plan document through the plan-pipeline workflow.
