SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines the development process by automating the implementation and verification of features through a loop of specialized AI agents, ensuring all user stories and acceptance criteria are met.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Feature Implementation: AI agents work iteratively to build features based on defined user stories.
  • Testable Acceptance Criteria: Ensures features are developed to meet specific, verifiable requirements.
  • Agent Loop: Continuously runs agents to refine and complete tasks until all criteria are satisfied.
  • Use Case: A product team defines a new feature as a set of user stories. This Skill orchestrates AI agents to write the code, test it against the acceptance criteria, and iterate until the feature is fully implemented and validated.

Quick Start

Set up the automated agent-driven development loop using the ralph-setup recipe.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate feature implementation using AI agents for continuous integration?

Automated agent-driven development loops implement features by running AI agents iteratively to write code and test it against defined user stories until all acceptance criteria are met. You define features as user stories with testable criteria, and the loop handles implementation and verification.

What is an agent-driven development loop and how does it work?

An agent-driven development loop is a continuous process where AI agents execute iteratively to implement and verify features. It works by defining features as user stories with testable acceptance criteria, then running agents in a loop to refine and complete tasks until all criteria are satisfied.

How do I set up an automated development loop with user stories and acceptance criteria?

Set up the automated development loop using the ralph-setup recipe, which provides configurations for AI coding agents and recipes for user story setup and management. This integration ensures your features are defined as testable user stories before the agent loop begins execution.

Can I use AI coding agents to verify features against testable acceptance criteria?

Yes, this Skill integrates with AI coding agent configurations to verify features against testable acceptance criteria. Agents work iteratively to build features based on defined user stories and continuously refine them until all specific, verifiable requirements are met.

Does automated agent-driven development require predefined user stories to function?

Yes, automated agent-driven development requires predefined user stories with testable acceptance criteria to function. The AI agents rely on these defined stories as input to know what to implement and verify, ensuring features are developed to meet specific, verifiable requirements.

What are the limitations of using an automated agent loop for software development?

The automated agent loop relies entirely on the quality of your defined user stories and testable acceptance criteria. Without clear, verifiable requirements, the AI agents cannot effectively implement or validate features, making precise story definition essential for successful continuous integration.
