SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Kickoff greenfield projects by establishing a clear project constitution, governance, and initial architecture docs before building features, ensuring a repeatable, auditable startup sequence.

Core Features & Use Cases

Guides the creation of project constitution artifacts (AGENTS.md, docs/architecture.md, docs/testing.md, docs/conventions.md).
Orchestrates the first vertical slice, validation, and default post-run harness evolution with human approval gates.
Works across Codex and Claude workflows, enabling consistent kickoff across agent ecosystems.

Quick Start

Run the kickoff workflow to create the project constitution, draft architecture and testing docs, and prepare the first vertical slice.

FAQPage Schema

How do I set up architecture documentation for a new greenfield project?▼

Orchestrate a greenfield project kickoff by running a deterministic workflow that captures goals, conducts guided interviews, drafts architecture docs, and builds the first vertical slice. This initialization sequence includes human approval gates and verification steps to ensure a repeatable startup process.

Can I use this project kickoff workflow with both Codex and Claude environments?▼

Establish a project constitution by creating AGENTS.md, docs/architecture.md, docs/testing.md, and docs/conventions.md. These governance artifacts define the architecture, testing strategies, and conventions before feature implementation begins on a new repository.

What is the best way to initialize a new repository with no existing architecture?▼

Yes, this greenfield project kickoff workflow works across both Codex and Claude environments. It enables consistent initialization and governance by establishing project constitution artifacts and orchestrating the first vertical slice across different agent ecosystems.

What do I need to draft before building features in a greenfield project?▼

Yes, the greenfield project kickoff workflow includes built-in human approval gates. These gates validate goal capture, architecture drafting, and initial implementation steps before proceeding to verification and harness evolution.

Does the greenfield kickoff workflow include validation for the initial implementation?▼

Yes, the greenfield project kickoff workflow includes validation for the initial implementation. After drafting architecture docs and building the first vertical slice, the deterministic run workflow performs verification and default post-run harness evolution to ensure the setup is correct.
