SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Enforces a planning-first workflow for sequential work packaging and aligns MAGO-style prompts to the canonical artifact layout.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Enforce canonical sequential work packaging structure: provides a stable macro container and execution identifiers to keep planning and execution aligned.
  • Adapt MAGO prompts into canonical artifacts: maps mago modes (define, refine, decompose, order) to the canonical artifact set cycle_version/spec_id/feature_key/feature_version.
  • Audit and normalize planning artifacts: ensures presence and consistency of spec-catalog.yaml and per-spec planning files (manifest.yaml, prd.md, tasks.md, notes.md, validation.md) across specs.

Quick Start

Create or audit a spec package following the canonical layout: cycle_version/specs/specNNN with manifest.yaml, prd.md, tasks.md, notes.md, and validation.md, and update spec-catalog.yaml accordingly.

FAQPage Schema
What is sequential work packaging in a planning workflow?

Sequential work packaging structures planning artifacts into a disciplined cycle-based spec layout, ensuring execution aligns with planning through canonical artifacts like manifest.yaml and prd.md.

How do I adapt MAGO prompts into a canonical spec structure?

You adapt MAGO prompts by mapping modes like define, refine, decompose, and order to canonical artifacts using cycle_version, spec_id, and feature_key identifiers for consistent planning.

How do I audit planning artifacts for missing mandatory files?

You audit planning artifacts by checking each spec directory for mandatory files including manifest.yaml, prd.md, tasks.md, notes.md, and validation.md, then normalizing any inconsistencies found.

Do I need a specific file layout to enforce canonical sequential packaging?

Yes, canonical sequential packaging requires a strict layout: cycle_version/specs/specNNN directories containing mandatory planning files, tracked centrally via a spec-catalog.yaml file.

Can I normalize existing spec catalogs without recreating the entire package?

Yes, you can normalize existing planning artifacts by auditing the spec-catalog.yaml and per-spec files, ensuring mandatory artifacts are present and consistent without rebuilding the structure.

What is the best way to structure work decomposition for cycle-based specs?

The best way to structure work decomposition is applying mode-driven workflows within the canonical artifact set, using execution identifiers to keep order, define, and refine tasks aligned.
