SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents software tasks from jumping straight into coding without the right workflow step, helping teams consistently decide whether a request needs specification, planning, implementation, verification, review, or shipping.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automatic workflow routing: Classifies incoming requests and sends them to the first appropriate phase in the Define → Plan → Build → Verify → Review → Ship lifecycle.
  • Skip-rule enforcement: Allows lightweight handling for trivial questions or tiny edits while still requiring verification and making skipped gates explicit.
  • Full-lifecycle mode: Supports a forced end-to-end path for users who want every phase run in order with no normal shortcuts.
  • Repo-wide audit handling: Uses a scope-then-spawn pattern for large audits, sweeps, and codebase-wide investigations to avoid wasteful parallelization.
  • High-risk guardrails: Escalates security, billing, auth, migration, and other sensitive work into stronger review and stricter workflow discipline.

Quick Start

FAQPage Schema
How do I route software development requests into the correct workflow phase?

To route software development requests correctly, this Skill classifies incoming tasks and directs them to the appropriate phase in the Define, Plan, Build, Verify, Review, or Ship lifecycle. It prevents tasks from jumping straight into coding without proper planning.

What is the best way to prevent skipping code review and verification in software delivery?

To prevent skipping code review and verification, this Skill enforces phase selection and skip rules. It requires explicit exit evidence for skipped gates, ensuring lightweight handling for trivial edits while maintaining strict workflow discipline for complex changes.

How does workflow routing handle high-risk tasks like security and migration updates?

Workflow routing handles high-risk tasks like security and migration updates by applying strict guardrails. It automatically escalates sensitive work involving authentication or billing into stronger review and enforces stricter workflow discipline to prevent critical errors.

Can I force a full-lifecycle software delivery run with no workflow shortcuts?

Yes, you can force a full-lifecycle software delivery run using the full-lifecycle mode. This mode supports a forced end-to-end path, ensuring every phase from specification and planning to verification, review, and shipping runs in sequential order without normal shortcuts.

What is the correct workflow routing approach for a repo-wide codebase audit?

For a repo-wide codebase audit, the correct workflow routing approach uses a scope-then-spawn pattern. This method handles large sweeps and investigations sequentially to avoid wasteful parallelization across the repository.

Do I need workflow routing for vague feature requests and refactoring tasks?

Yes, you need workflow routing for vague feature requests and refactoring tasks to determine the correct starting phase. It evaluates the request and routes it to specification, planning, or implementation before any editing begins, ensuring structured handoff to downstream skills.
