SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires claude-code, dekspec, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

The write-intent skill streamlines the creation, management, and lifecycle operations of software development Intents, reducing manual steps and ensuring compliance with established workflows.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Intent Creation: Automated creation of Intents, capturing engineering work directions and planned changes.
  • Lifecycle Management: Handle Intents through various stages (e.g., draft, proposed, accepted, locked) with automated checks and transitions.
  • Decomposition: Decompose complex Intents into smaller, manageable Implementation Briefs (IBs).
  • Review and Audit: Enable peer reviews and audits at different stages of the Intent lifecycle.
  • Sync and Cleanup: Post-merge synchronization and cleanup tasks for completed Intents.
  • Use Case: When an engineer wants to create a new change request for a feature, they can use the write-intent skill to generate an Intent with predefined templates and workflows, ensuring all necessary checks are performed.

Quick Start
