SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines the entire agentic development lifecycle, from initial spec creation and quality scoring to implementation, review, and final merging, ensuring a robust and traceable development process.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • End-to-End Orchestration: Manages the full pipeline with commands like /spec start, /spec score, /spec implement, /spec review, and /spec close.
  • Worktree Isolation: Leverages Git worktrees for isolated feature development, preventing conflicts and ensuring clean merges.
  • Traceability: Integrates with beads for issue tracking, linking specs, plans, and stories.
  • Quality Gates: Enforces a 4-gate quality pipeline, including automated spec scoring and code review.
  • Autonomous Execution: The /spec run command automates the entire pipeline for hands-off development.

Quick Start

Use the sdlc skill to start a new feature, creating a spec and a dedicated worktree.

FAQPage Schema
How do I orchestrate agentic development workflows with quality gates?

Agentic development workflows are orchestrated using a 4-gate quality pipeline that manages spec creation, automated scoring, implementation planning, code review, and evidence packaging. This ensures traceability and quality from initial intent through to the final merge.

What is the best way to isolate feature branches during autonomous software development?

Isolating feature branches during software development is best handled using Git worktrees. This approach prevents conflicts between concurrent features and ensures clean merges by keeping the working directories separated.

How do I automate the entire spec creation to code review lifecycle?

The spec creation to code review lifecycle is automated using a single run command. This hands-off execution triggers the full pipeline, sequentially processing spec scoring, implementation planning, code review, and final evidence packaging.

Does the workflow orchestration pipeline integrate with issue tracking for traceability?

Yes, the workflow orchestration pipeline integrates with the beads CLI for issue tracking. This links specifications, implementation plans, and development stories together to maintain end-to-end traceability throughout the lifecycle.

When do I need a 4-gate quality pipeline for software engineering?

A 4-gate quality pipeline is needed when managing agentic development workflows that require strict enforcement of standards. It provides controlled phases for spec scoring and code review to guarantee robust, traceable feature implementation.

Can I use Git worktrees to prevent conflicts in autonomous development environments?

Yes, Git worktrees are specifically leveraged to provide worktree isolation in autonomous development environments. This prevents branch conflicts and ensures that automated feature merges remain clean and isolated.
