SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps teams determine the appropriate documentation ceremony level for VT workflows, preventing over-documentation for simple tasks and under-documentation for complex work.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automates triage to select Level 1 (Full), Level 2 (Standard), or Level 3 (Minimal) based on task signals.
  • Integrates with /vt-flow, /vt-feature, /vt-bug, and /vt-implement to tailor artifact generation and gates.
  • Respects project defaults defined in stack.md and supports overrides via --deep and --quick flags.
  • Provides a default behavior when the scope is unclear to avoid stalled pipelines.

Quick Start

Run a triage check on the current work item to determine the VT ceremony level before starting the pipeline.

FAQPage Schema
How do I determine the right workflow ceremony level for a development task?

Workflow ceremony levels are determined by assessing task complexity to select Level 1 (Full), Level 2 (Standard), or Level 3 (Minimal) documentation. This prevents over-documenting simple tasks and under-documenting complex work.

What is the best way to automate task triage before starting a feature pipeline?

Automating task triage involves running a triage check on the work item to evaluate signals and select the appropriate ceremony level. This tailors artifact generation and gates across feature and bug workflows.

Can I override default project workflow documentation levels?

Yes, you can override default project workflow documentation levels defined in stack.md by applying --deep or --quick flags during triage. This adjusts the ceremony level and artifacts produced.

How do bug and feature workflows integrate with task triage?

Bug and feature workflows integrate with task triage by applying the ceremony level to /vt-flow, /vt-feature, /vt-bug, and /vt-implement. This tailors the artifacts produced and gates applied across the pipeline.

What happens when task scope is unclear during workflow planning?

When task scope is unclear during workflow planning, the triage process provides a default behavior to avoid stalled pipelines. It selects a safe ceremony level based on available signals.

When should I use deep versus quick triage flags?

Use deep versus quick triage flags to manually override automated ceremony level selection. Apply --deep for complex tasks requiring full documentation and --quick for simple tasks needing minimal artifacts.
