SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill bootstraps a complete Superpowers SDLC workflow into every session, enabling phase-by-phase design, workspace setup, planning, execution, testing, and finishing with built-in guardrails and tooling.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Provides a structured SDLC workflow (Brainstorming, Workspace Setup, Planning, Execution, Test-Driven Development, Finishing)
  • Automates phase orchestration using designated Skills (brainstorming, writing plans, subagent-driven development, code reviews, etc.)
  • Encourages a disciplined, test-driven, and auditable development process
  • Ensures consistency across tasks and minimizes ad-hoc decisions

Quick Start

  • Activate the bootstrap in your session to auto-load the SDLC workflow

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up a structured SDLC workflow across brainstorming, planning, and testing phases?▼

The bootstrap loads a complete SDLC workflow into your session automatically, orchestrating brainstorming, workspace setup, planning, execution, test-driven development, and finishing phases with built-in guardrails and designated skill dispatch at each stage.

Can I automate skill invocation during feature creation and code reviews without manual triggering?▼

Yes. The bootstrap enables automatic skill dispatch throughout the workflow—it triggers skills during feature creation, design validation, and integration tasks without requiring manual invocation at each step.

What's the best way to enforce consistency and reduce ad-hoc decisions in development workflows?▼

A disciplined SDLC workflow enforces phase-by-phase structure with consistent guardrails. The bootstrap provides this by loading a standardized workflow that guides brainstorming through finishing, minimizing unstructured decisions across tasks.

How does bootstrap token validation ensure session-wide workflow availability?▼

The bootstrap validates tokens per-session and loads the SDLC workflow once, making it persistently available throughout your session so the workflow and its orchestrated skills remain active across all development phases.

Do I need to manually configure skills for testing and code review within the workflow?▼

No. The bootstrap automatically orchestrates skill dispatch for testing, code reviews, and other phases as part of its core workflow. Skills are triggered at appropriate workflow stages without manual configuration.

What happens if I need to run multiple feature cycles in a single session?▼

The bootstrap maintains session-wide availability of the complete SDLC workflow, so you can run multiple feature creation and integration cycles through the same brainstorming, planning, execution, and testing phases without reloading.
