SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

It orchestrates multi-agent software development from requirements through verified implementation using plan/build/iterate workflows. It enforces patterns, type safety, and disciplined handoffs across PLAN, BUILD, ITERATE phases.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured agent coordination via CORE SPEC-DRIVEN workflows (PLAN/BUILD/ITERATE)
  • Explicit, resume-able handoffs using COMMUNICATION_PROTOCOL
  • Enforcement of type safety, test quality, and code review before QA
  • Repository- and project-specific templates to accelerate spec creation

Quick Start

Create a new specs/ directory, draft feature.md with FR/NFR requirements, then create tech.md with high-level implementation tasks. Follow COMMUNICATION_PROTOCOL to brief the appropriate agents and manage handoffs. Use the PLAN, BUILD, ITERATE workflows to guide execution.

FAQPage Schema
How do I coordinate multi-agent software development workflows?

Multi-agent coordination uses PLAN/BUILD/ITERATE phases with explicit handoffs via a communication protocol. Create feature and tech specifications in a specs/ directory, then route tasks to specialized agents while enforcing type safety, test quality, and code review before QA.

What's the best way to structure technical specifications for implementation?

Structure specs with functional and non-functional requirements (FR/NFR) in feature.md, then break high-level implementation tasks into tech.md. Use COMMUNICATION_PROTOCOL to brief agents and manage resume-able handoffs across planning, building, and iteration phases.

How do I enforce pattern consistency and type safety across agent handoffs?

Spec-driven workflows enforce patterns and type safety by requiring structured agent communication, test quality gates, and code review prior to QA. Repository and project-specific templates accelerate spec creation while maintaining disciplined handoffs.

Can I use multi-agent workflows for complex feature development?

Yes. Multi-agent workflows apply to planning features, crafting technical specifications, implementing complex tasks via specialized agents, and managing spec-dev workflows across codebases with explicit communication protocols and lifecycle guidance.

What's required before starting a multi-agent specification workflow?

Create a specs/ directory in your repository, draft feature.md with requirements, and prepare tech.md with implementation tasks. The COMMUNICATION_PROTOCOL provides the template for briefing agents and managing handoffs through each phase.
