SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill converts autoboard design documents into a structured task manifest that defines sessions, dependencies, QA gates, and environment scaffolding for automated orchestration.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Generates a complete manifest including config frontmatter, sessions, dependencies, QA gates, and environment setup.
  • Outputs the required files for preflight and execution, such as docs/autoboard/<slug>/manifest.md and session-permissions.json.
  • Enables top-down planning and safe, topologically valid task sequencing for complex projects.

Quick Start

Provide the design doc slug to generate docs/autoboard/<slug>/manifest.md and configure preflight.

FAQPage Schema
How do I turn a design doc into a structured task manifest for automated orchestration?▼

To turn a design doc into a task manifest, provide the design document slug to generate a structured manifest with config frontmatter, sessions, dependencies, and QA gates for automated orchestration.

What is a task manifest and when do I need QA gates for session planning?▼

A task manifest is a structured blueprint defining sequential and parallel work units. You need QA gates within it when translating complex design docs into safe, topologically valid task sessions with evaluation checkpoints.

Can I generate non-interactive backend provisioning steps and environment templating from a design document?▼

Yes, generating non-interactive backend provisioning steps and environment templating is supported. The manifest defines environment scaffolding and tooling references required for downstream orchestration and preflight execution.

What is the best way to sequence parallel work units with explicit dependencies from a design doc?▼

The best way to sequence parallel work units is to generate a manifest that maps explicit dependencies and QA gates, ensuring topologically valid task sequencing for complex automated features.

Does the generated manifest include configuration for security guardrails and preflight execution?▼

Yes, the generated manifest includes config frontmatter and session-permissions.json. These outputs configure preflight execution and establish guardrails for security and testing within the orchestration environment.
