SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automates the initial project setup by scaffolding a .izmailov/ folder and creating placeholder documentation files.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Workspace scaffolding: creates a .izmailov/ knowledgebase folder and placeholder docs without overwriting existing files.
  • Project survey generation: reads README and manifests to produce a concise project summary for quick alignment.
  • Orchestrated prep flow: dispatches prepare-overview, prepare-user-testing, and prepare-challenges in a defined order.

Quick Start

Initialize a .izmailov/ workspace in the project, create placeholder documentation files if missing, perform a quick project survey, and dispatch prepare-overview, prepare-user-testing, and prepare-challenges in order.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate project workspace scaffolding without overwriting existing files?

Project workspace scaffolding is automated by creating a .izmailov/ folder and placeholder documentation only for missing files, preserving existing content. It reads project signals like README and manifests to generate a survey without modifying your current workspace structure.

What is an orchestrated project setup flow for generating initial documentation?

An orchestrated project setup flow initializes a workspace, surveys README and manifests, then sequentially dispatches prepare-overview, prepare-user-testing, and prepare-challenges. This defined ordering ensures documentation placeholders and project summaries are generated in a synchronized pipeline.

Can I generate a project survey from existing manifests automatically?

Yes, you can generate a project survey by reading existing README files and manifests. The survey produces a concise project summary for quick alignment, operating entirely within the project root to provide an automated overview of current project signals.

Does workspace scaffolding work with existing project structures?

Workspace scaffolding works safely with existing structures by creating a .izmailov/ knowledgebase folder and placeholder docs without overwriting existing files. It reads current project signals and confines all operations within the project root directory.

What are the limitations of automated project setup and placeholder documentation?

Limitations include operating strictly within the project root directory and never overwriting existing files, meaning stale placeholders are not updated. The setup dispatches three specific sibling skills and cannot orchestrate arbitrary external preparation workflows.
