SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

using-des-skill prevents agents from skipping required upstream artifacts by routing work to the correct next DES-SKILL phase and enforcing disciplined workflow coordination for data engineering projects.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Adaptive workflow routing modes: Selects Quick Fix, Standard Feature, Enterprise Data Product, or Correct Course based on risk and whether upstream artifacts exist.
  • Upstream dependency detection: Scans planning outputs to find the earliest missing artifact and halts routing when dependencies are not satisfied (unless the user explicitly overrides).
  • Persona-aware handoffs: Chooses the primary persona from docs/personas.md (or fallback mapping), states what the persona owns, and coordinates cross-persona transitions without weakening quality gates.
  • Checklist gate enforcement: Requires checklist_file loading and Pass/Needs Work/Blocked evaluation before allowing completion status updates for artifact-producing skills.

Quick Start

Activate using-des-skill when you start or resume a DES-SKILL data engineering project, and ask it to auto-route to the earliest missing phase artifact.

FAQPage Schema
How do I prevent skipping required upstream artifacts in data engineering workflows?

To prevent skipping upstream artifacts in data engineering workflows, use phase dependency detection to scan planning outputs and halt routing when prerequisites are missing. This enforces disciplined coordination by finding the earliest missing artifact before proceeding.

What is checklist gate enforcement for data engineering project status updates?

Checklist gate enforcement for data engineering project status updates requires loading a checklist file and evaluating Pass, Needs Work, or Blocked status before allowing completion updates for artifact-producing skills. This quality gating prevents premature status marking on unverified deliverables.

How do I route data engineering work through the correct project phase?

To route data engineering work through the correct project phase, select an adaptive workflow mode like Quick Fix, Standard Feature, Enterprise Data Product, or Correct Course based on risk and upstream artifact availability. The routing mechanism then selects the appropriate next phase skill automatically.

Can I use persona management to coordinate cross-persona transitions in data engineering projects?

Yes, persona management coordinates cross-persona transitions in data engineering projects by selecting a primary persona from docs/personas.md or fallback mapping. It states what the persona owns and manages transitions without weakening quality gates or checklist enforcement.

Does workflow routing support auditing and resuming existing data engineering projects?

Yes, workflow routing supports auditing and resuming existing data engineering projects by scanning resolved DES planning outputs to detect missing artifacts. It applies to starting, resuming, auditing, and coordinating projects across all four routing modes.

When should I not override missing prerequisites in phase dependency detection?

You should not override missing prerequisites in phase dependency detection unless explicitly required, because halting on missing dependencies prevents downstream quality issues. Overriding bypasses upstream planning artifact checks and risks unverified deliverables entering the workflow.
