SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Stamp decompose process beads — spec → phased work beads with review passes, structural quality gates, and clean-room carry-through.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Create a decompose workflow: epic, work beads, and dependencies based on a specification.
  • Enforce phased review gates and quality checks to ensure plan validity.
  • Produce documentation-ready artifacts for later bead runs and execution.

Quick Start

Provide a spec path to begin stamping beads and wiring dependencies.

FAQPage Schema
How do I decompose a specification into phased work beads with review gates?

You can decompose a spec by feeding a clean-room specification into the stamping process, which outputs a phased set of work beads and an epic graph. It creates a process epic, an implementation epic, and wired dependencies with explicit review gates.

What are work beads in a phased decomposition workflow?

Work beads in a phased decomposition workflow are sequenced execution units stamped from a clean-room specification. They carry explicit IDs, wired dependencies, and review gates to enforce plan validity and produce documentation-ready artifacts.

Do I need a clean-room specification to generate an epic graph and work beads?

Yes, a clean-room specification is required to stamp a decompose process. The specification serves as the input to generate the epic graph, phased work beads, wired dependencies, and review gates suitable for subsequent bead runs.

How do I wire dependencies between work beads in a spec decomposition process?

Dependencies between work beads are wired automatically during the spec decomposition stamping process. The skill enforces explicit IDs and wired dependencies across the generated sequence of phased beads and epic graph.

Does the decomposition workflow support separate process and implementation epics?

Yes, the decomposition workflow explicitly supports creating both a process epic and a separate implementation epic. It stamps these from a clean-room specification along with a sequence of wired work beads and review gates.

When do I need to stamp review gates for phased work beads?

Review gates are needed when decomposing a clean-room specification into phased work beads. They enforce plan validity and structural quality checks, ensuring the generated artifacts are documentation-ready for subsequent bead runs and reviews.
