FAQPage Schema

How do I lock in a development plan to prevent spec drift during implementation?▼

To lock a development plan and prevent spec drift, draft an initial specs file and issue a planning lock. This coordinates team planning sessions and records the finalized architecture in a ledger for audit logging.

What is a planning lock and how does it work for software engineering tasks?▼

A planning lock finalizes architecture by clearing the planning state and recording a ledger event. It ensures atomic handoffs for software engineering tasks by preventing modifications to the locked spec during the development cycle.

How do I create a spec and record it in a ledger for QA handoffs?▼

Create a spec by collaborating to draft the initial specs file, then clear the planning state and issue a ledger event. This generates an audit log entry and enables atomic handoffs for QA and engineering teams.

Can I release a planning lock after the development spec is finalized?▼

Yes, you can release a planning lock after the development spec is finalized. The workflow includes a specific release lock step, allowing teams to update the planning state if future architectural changes are required.
