SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

It explains how the AI Registry SDLC workflow operates, including routing between planning and execution, phase ordering, agent roles, validation gates, checkpoint/resume behavior, and troubleshooting when the SDLC gets stuck or errors.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Clarifies lifecycle flow: Describes how the Coordinator routes requests to the Planning Hub or Execution Hub, and what each phase is responsible for.
  • Guides checkpoint/resume: Explains how /sdlc-continue works and how checkpoint state relates to artifacts on disk.
  • Troubleshoots validation and stuck states: Covers what to do when validation fails, when an agent crashes mid-task, and how recovery decisions are made.
  • Supports change management: Provides the brownfield re-planning protocol, including impact analysis and minimum re-dispatch rules.
  • Defines agent responsibilities: Documents orchestrators and subagents so users can answer “what happens next” and “what does agent X do?”

Quick Start

Ask the AI: “How do I continue my SDLC workflow after an interruption, and what should I check if validation fails?”

FAQPage Schema
How does the SDLC workflow route requests between planning and execution hubs?

The SDLC workflow routes requests via a Coordinator that directs tasks to the Planning Hub or Execution Hub based on lifecycle phase. Each phase handles specific agent roles, validation gates, and orchestration duties to advance the workflow.

What should I do to resume my SDLC workflow after an interruption or crash?

To resume an interrupted SDLC workflow, use the /sdlc-continue command. This leverages checkpoint state tied to artifacts on disk to recover from stuck states, crashed agents, or mid-task interruptions without losing progress.

How do I handle brownfield re-planning when modifying an existing software lifecycle?

Brownfield re-planning requires following a specific protocol that includes impact analysis and minimum re-dispatch rules. This ensures changes to the existing SDLC workflow are properly routed and validated before execution continues.

Why does SDLC validation fail and how can I troubleshoot it?

SDLC validation fails when artifacts do not meet phase-specific gate requirements. Troubleshooting involves checking the workflow context, verifying agent roles, and following recovery guidance to address the specific stuck state or error.

What are the specific agent roles and responsibilities within the SDLC lifecycle?

Agent roles in the SDLC lifecycle include orchestrators and subagents responsible for planning and execution tasks. Defining these responsibilities clarifies what happens next and ensures accurate routing through validation gates.

When do I need to perform brownfield re-planning instead of standard SDLC execution?

Brownfield re-planning is needed when modifying an active or existing software lifecycle. It differs from standard execution by requiring impact analysis and minimum re-dispatch rules to manage changes to established artifacts and states.
