FAQPage Schema

How do I automate the skill creation workflow from brainstorming to packaging?▼

To automate the skill creation workflow, you can use a build plugin that orchestrates the full brainstorm, plan, implement, and package phases. It pre-loads necessary context and enforces quality gates to ensure consistent structure and validation.

What is the structured development process for building new plugins in a skill repository?▼

The structured process for building plugins involves a coordinated workflow of brainstorming, planning, implementation, and versioning. This mechanism pre-loads relevant context at each phase and enforces a quality gate before finishing to output tasks, plans, and changelog updates.

How do I validate a new skill before finishing the build process?▼

To validate a new skill before finishing, you run an integrated quality gate within the build workflow. This ensures the skill meets structural requirements and passes validation before the versioning phase is completed.

Does the skill-factory build workflow support automated context loading for implementation?▼

Yes, the skill-factory build workflow supports automated context loading for implementation. It automatically pre-loads the necessary context for brainstorming, planning, implementation, and versioning phases to coordinate the end-to-end development process.

Can I use this workflow to generate changelog updates for new plugins?▼

Yes, you can use this workflow to generate changelog updates for new plugins. The build automation outputs tasks, plans, and changelog updates to ensure consistent structure and validation throughout the development lifecycle.

What are the limitations of automating the build workflow for skill development?▼

The automation is limited to the skill-factory repository environment and requires loading specific context to function. It enforces a strict workflow structure, meaning deviations from the brainstorm, plan, implement, and version phases are not supported.
