SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Provides a formal product-to-engineering handoff contract and gate enforcement to ensure a clean boundary and verified readiness before work starts across the SDLC.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Enforces the product/engineering boundary, Definition-of-Ready handoff, and per-stage gates.
  • Enables agents and engineers to load standardized handoff rules before picking up work (e.g., starting a sprint, implementing a story, or running a stage).
  • Encapsulates governance across the SDLC with a centralized pipeline reference.

Quick Start

Load this handoff skill before starting a sprint or implementing a story to enforce the product→engineering handoff rules and gate checks.

FAQPage Schema
How do I enforce Definition-of-Ready criteria before starting a sprint?

To enforce Definition-of-Ready criteria before a sprint, load the handoff skill to validate the product-to-engineering boundary, run server-side gate checks, and generate a verified readiness packet.

What is a product-to-engineering handoff contract in the SDLC?

A product-to-engineering handoff contract is a formal boundary agreement that validates artifact readiness and enforces per-stage gates before engineering teams pick up feature work.

Can I automate SDLC gate checks when picking up a new feature?

Yes, you can automate SDLC gate checks by loading standardized handoff rules before implementation, ensuring proper artifact carrying and capturing validation evidence via gate manifests.

What's the best way to capture evidence for per-stage SDLC gates?

The best way to capture gate evidence is to enforce boundary ownership rules during work pickup, which automatically generates gate manifests containing validated readiness records.

When do I need to validate a Definition-of-Ready packet?

You need to validate a Definition-of-Ready packet whenever starting a sprint, implementing a story, or running a new SDLC stage to ensure a clean boundary and verified readiness.

Why does my engineering team lack clear boundary ownership during feature implementation?

Engineering teams lack clear boundary ownership when standardized handoff rules are not loaded prior to work pickup, bypassing server-side gate checks and centralized pipeline governance.
