SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Software development workflows for features, bugfixes, and hotfixes can be inconsistent and hard to reproduce. This guide standardizes the process to ensure backend changes follow a repeatable, auditable path across tasks such as implementing a feature, fixing a bug, or performing a refactor.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Three entry modes: Feature, Bugfix, and Hotfix, each with its own step sequence to match task type.
  • Skip Gates: Predefined checks like spec, craft, tdd, slop-scan, and git-save guard the workflow and prevent premature progression.
  • Frontend guard: For frontend-only changes, use the dedicated workflow-frontend-* paths to keep backend and logic work clean.
  • Use Case: When adding a new endpoint, switch to Feature mode and execute the guided steps from design through testing and merge.

Quick Start

Tell the AI to pick the correct entry mode (Feature, Bugfix, or Hotfix) and execute the appropriate steps for the task.

FAQPage Schema
How do I standardize backend development workflows for features and bugfixes?▼

Standardize backend development workflows by applying three guided entry modes: Feature, Bugfix, and Hotfix. Each mode enforces a specific step sequence with skip gates to ensure changes follow a repeatable, auditable execution path.

What is the best way to manage hotfix cycles without disrupting feature development?▼

Manage hotfix cycles by switching to the dedicated Hotfix mode. This isolates urgent bug resolutions from feature development by applying a specialized, gated step sequence designed specifically for rapid deployment.

How does the skip gate mechanism work in a software development workflow?▼

The skip gate mechanism works by enforcing predefined checks like spec, craft, tdd, slop-scan, and git-save. These gates guard the workflow and prevent premature progression to the next step until specific criteria are met.

Can I use this workflow for frontend-only changes?▼

This workflow targets backend and logic work. For frontend-only changes, you should use dedicated workflow-frontend paths to keep backend processes clean and prevent inappropriate step execution.

How do I start implementing a new backend endpoint using a standardized process?▼

Start implementing a new endpoint by selecting Feature mode. Tell the AI to execute the guided steps from design through testing and merge, ensuring the development workflow follows a consistent path.
