SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It prevents structured execution documentation from drifting out of coherence when implementation changes structured execution state during delta work.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Phase sheet reconciliation: Updates task statuses, entrance/exit criteria, verification evidence, and current execution decisions/findings.
  • Artifact consistency across DE/IP/DR: Reconciles DE scope/risk/dependencies/open questions and DR design/rationale/assumptions when they change during execution.
  • Notes alignment without duplication: Ensures notes.md remains consistent as a lightweight execution log rather than a hidden structured-doc workflow.
  • Stop-and-consult safety guard: Calls /consult when doc changes imply a broader workflow or design shift than the active phase assumed.

Quick Start

Use the command "/update-delta-docs" when your execution changed a phase state, IP phase status, DE scope/risk/dependencies, or DR design intent for the current delta.

FAQPage Schema
How do I keep phase sheet and DE/IP/DR artefacts in sync during delta execution?

To keep phase sheet and DE/IP/DR artefacts in sync, reconcile execution state changes by updating task statuses, entrance/exit criteria, and verification evidence in the correct order without duplication.

What is documentation reconciliation for agentic workflows and when do I need it?

Documentation reconciliation for agentic workflows eliminates drift when implementation changes structured state, such as IP active phase transitions or updated verification evidence during delta execution.

How do I update phase task statuses and verification evidence without duplicating notes?

Update phase task statuses and verification evidence by reconciling the phase sheet while keeping notes.md aligned as a lightweight execution log, ensuring structured-doc updates avoid duplication.

Can I use spec-driven documentation updates when execution changes exceed active phase assumptions?

When execution changes exceed active phase assumptions, spec-driven documentation updates trigger a stop-and-consult safety guard by calling /consult to handle implied broader workflow or design shifts.

Does updating design rationales and DE scope during delta execution require a specific update order?

Updating design rationales and DE scope during delta execution requires applying updates to the correct artefacts in a required order to maintain consistency across DE, IP, and DR execution artefacts.

Why does my structured execution documentation drift out of coherence during phase management?

Structured execution documentation drifts out of coherence during phase management when implementation changes structured execution state without reconciling the active phase sheet and corresponding DE/IP/DR artefacts.
