SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill turns a planning document into a controlled, traceable story-driven development workflow so teams can generate and execute work without losing CTO oversight or quality gating.

Core Features & Use Cases

Generates stories and a backlog from an input markdown plan.
Runs three CTO Guard checkpoints before generation, after generation, and after execution.
Enforces repo governance, primary quality gates, preflight checks, and same-story handoff when context gets tight.

Quick Start

Ask the skill to run the BMAD autopilot workflow on your input markdown file so it can validate the plan, generate the stories, and execute them with CTO guardrails.

FAQPage Schema

How do I execute story-driven development workflows with CTO oversight in Claude Code?▼

Story-driven development workflows with CTO oversight are executed by orchestrating generation, preflight checks, and execution across three CTO Guard checkpoints. The process requires a valid input markdown file and enforces primary quality gates with fail-closed handling for compliance.

What is a CTO Guard checkpoint in repo governance?▼

A CTO Guard checkpoint is a validation gate within repo governance that enforces compliance before story generation, after generation, and after execution. It uses fail-closed handling to halt the workflow when context conditions or quality standards are not met.

How do I generate a backlog from a markdown plan?▼

To generate a backlog from a markdown plan, provide a valid input markdown file to the story generation workflow. The system validates the plan during a preflight check, generates stories, and builds the backlog while enforcing primary quality gates.

Does this story generation workflow require any dependencies to run?▼

This story generation workflow requires no external dependencies, but it strictly requires a valid input markdown file to function. It operates as a standalone script within Claude Code, relying solely on internal CTO Guard validation and repo governance rules.

What happens when context gets tight during story execution?▼

When context gets tight during story execution, the workflow triggers same-story handoff to maintain continuity. This mechanism, combined with fail-closed handling, ensures the primary quality gate is preserved without losing CTO oversight or repo governance compliance.

How do preflight checks work in BMAD autopilot workflows?▼

Preflight checks in BMAD autopilot workflows validate the input markdown plan before story generation begins. They enforce repo governance and compliance conditions, ensuring the primary quality gate is met and fail-closed handling is active if conditions are not satisfied.
