SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Standardizes and automates the full new-feature lifecycle in a repository so teams can produce ideation, requirements, PRD, spec, plan, and task artifacts reliably and without repetitive manual steps.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Staged artifact generation with idempotency checks that skip stages when artifacts already exist.
  • Config and PCC integration to ground content using volon.yaml and the Project Context Cache for accurate frontmatter and evidence links.
  • Conditional flows that enforce spec and task creation based on workflow configuration flags and produce deterministic task IDs tied to storage.files.root.
  • Use Case: Product managers and engineering leads can scaffold complete feature documentation and task backlogs from a single feature name to accelerate planning and execution.

Quick Start

Invoke the workflow-new-feature skill with a quoted feature name to generate staged artifacts and tasks.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate new feature documentation and task generation for my repository?

Automate new feature documentation by invoking the workflow with a quoted feature name to generate staged ideation, requirements, PRD, spec, plan, and task artifacts idempotently under artifacts/ and .volon/.

What is the best way to scaffold a complete PRD and spec from a single feature name?

Scaffold a complete PRD and spec by running the workflow-new-feature skill, which applies conditional spec and task generation based on your volon.yaml flags and grounds content using the Project Context Cache.

Does workflow-new-feature require a specific configuration format to generate feature artifacts?

Yes, workflow-new-feature requires a volon configuration and a Project Context Cache (PCC) to ground content, enforce frontmatter schema, and generate deterministic task IDs tied to storage.files.root.

How do I prevent overwriting existing feature requirements and plan files when re-running workflow generation?

Prevent overwriting existing files through built-in idempotency checks that skip stages when artifacts already exist, ensuring previously generated ideation, requirements, and PRD files remain untouched.

What limitations exist when using volon configuration flags for conditional spec and task creation?

Conditional spec and task creation is strictly governed by volon.yaml flags, meaning artifact generation skips stages only if configurations explicitly disable them or if idempotency checks detect existing files.
