SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a structured set of rules to manage and resolve situations where the planned development tasks diverge from the actual state of the codebase during the build process.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Rule-Based Deviation Handling: Defines clear actions for common discrepancies like incorrect file paths or failed verification steps.
  • Controlled Error Resolution: Implements a tiered approach to fixing issues, from minor adjustments to stopping execution and reporting for complex problems.
  • Use Case: During an automated build, if a planned file modification targets a non-existent file, this Skill will automatically correct the path and continue. If a verification step fails repeatedly, it will halt the build and report the issue for human review.

Quick Start

Use the ship-deviation-rules skill to automatically fix incorrect file paths encountered during the build process.

FAQPage Schema
How do I handle build deviations when automated development tasks diverge from the codebase state?

Build deviations are managed using a rule-based framework that automatically resolves discrepancies like incorrect file paths or dependency errors, escalating complex verification failures to manual intervention to ensure build integrity.

What is the best way to automatically fix incorrect file paths during an automated build?

The best way to fix incorrect file paths is applying tiered deviation rules that automatically correct path targets during the build, allowing the workflow to continue without halting execution for minor discrepancies.

Can I use deviation rules to manage dependency errors in my automated workflow?

Yes, deviation rules manage dependency errors by defining clear actions for common build discrepancies, automatically applying minor adjustments or stopping execution to report complex dependency issues.

What happens when verification steps fail repeatedly during an automated build?

Repeated verification failures trigger an escalation path that halts the build execution and reports the issue for manual intervention, ensuring that unresolved errors receive human review.
