SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Creates a repeatable, idempotent process for authoring new Volon skills so developers avoid manual, inconsistent scaffolding and missing workflow artifacts across plugin directories.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automates the full new-skill lifecycle: ideation, requirements, spec (SKILL.md draft), plan, task creation, and bootstrap finalization.
  • Enforces idempotency by skipping existing artifacts and validating plugin registration updates (plugin.json).
  • Integrates with the Project Context Cache (PCC) and produces task files ready for execution, useful when adding new capabilities to Volon plugins or onboarding contributors.

Quick Start

Run the workflow-new-skill with a quoted skill name and target plugin to generate ideation, requirements, spec, plan, and task artifacts.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate scaffolding for new Volon plugin skills?

Automating scaffolding for new Volon plugin skills involves generating idempotent markdown artifacts, SKILL.md drafts, and task files across ideation, requirements, spec, plan, and bootstrap finalization stages. It ensures consistent plugin directory structures without manual file creation.

What is idempotent task creation in plugin development workflows?

Idempotent task creation in plugin development workflows means skipping existing artifacts and validating plugin.json registration updates to prevent duplicate or overwritten files. This ensures repeated executions produce the same state without corrupting previously generated skill specifications or plans.

How do I generate SKILL.md and task files for Volon plugins?

Generating SKILL.md and task files for Volon plugins requires running a guided workflow with a quoted skill name and target plugin. The process drafts specifications, creates execution-ready task files, updates plugin registration, and refreshes the Project Context Cache (PCC).

Does skill authoring work with existing plugin.json registrations?

Skill authoring works with existing plugin.json registrations by validating updates rather than overwriting them. The workflow enforces idempotency, skipping existing artifacts and safely integrating new skill capabilities into current plugin configurations while respecting disable-model-invocation settings.

What is the best way to onboard contributors to Volon plugin development?

The best way to onboard contributors to Volon plugin development is using a guided workflow that automates ideation through bootstrap finalization. It produces standardized requirements, specs, plans, and task files, ensuring all contributors follow identical scaffolding processes.

Why does my new skill workflow skip existing markdown artifacts?

Your new skill workflow skips existing markdown artifacts to enforce idempotency, preventing accidental overwrites of prior ideation, requirements, or specification files. This design safeguards completed workflow stages during repeated plugin development executions.
