SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill solves the gap between an approved design and a functional implementation by generating a structured, task-by-task plan that allows any engineer to execute work without prior codebase context.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • INVEST-based Slicing: Breaks complex designs into small, independent, and testable vertical increments.
  • Control-Plane Guardrails: Enforces strict hygiene for sensitive tasks, ensuring changes to CI, conformance, and governance are handled via dev-clones and human-verified diffs.
  • TDD-First Workflow: Mandates that every task is defined by failing tests, ensuring the resulting code is production-grade and verifiable.

Quick Start

Ask the agent to walk you through the planning process for your current design spec to generate a build-ready implementation plan.

FAQPage Schema
How do I turn approved software design specs into build-ready implementation plans?

To turn approved software design specs into build-ready implementation plans, you need granular, task-by-task workflows. This process uses INVEST slicing to break designs into independent, testable vertical increments executable by engineers without prior codebase context.

What is INVEST-based slicing in software development lifecycle planning?

INVEST-based slicing in software development lifecycle planning is a method to break complex designs into small, independent, negotiable, valuable, estimable, small, and testable vertical increments. It ensures each implementation task is granular and verifiable.

How do I enforce test-driven development planning for engineers without codebase context?

To enforce test-driven development planning, mandate that every task is defined by failing tests before implementation. This TDD-first workflow ensures the resulting code is production-grade, verifiable, and executable by engineers lacking prior codebase familiarity.

What are control-plane guardrails for CI and governance changes?

Control-plane guardrails for CI and governance changes are strict hygiene rules ensuring sensitive tasks are handled safely. They require changes to conformance and governance to be processed via dev-clones and human-verified diffs to maintain architectural integrity.

Does software engineering planning work without prior codebase knowledge?

Software engineering planning can work without prior codebase knowledge when structured correctly. By generating granular, test-driven implementation plans with conformance markers and dual-review gates, any engineer can execute production-grade work safely.

When do I need dual-review gates in an implementation plan?

You need dual-review gates in an implementation plan when enforcing rigorous TDD standards and architectural integrity. They act as conformance markers to ensure production-grade output and strict control-plane safety during the software development lifecycle.
