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.
