Agentic dev docs

Agentic Dev Docs

Version: 0.6.4

Manual Trigger Only

Use this skill only when the user explicitly names agentic-dev-docs, use agentic-dev-docs skill, $agentic-dev-docs, or asks to run this exact skill. Do not auto-trigger for ordinary planning, coding, docs, or multi-agent discussion.

Purpose

Turn a project idea or task spec into a docs-first development control pack. The pack lets a new main-control development session read startup docs, confirm it is the single A main controller, create or reuse workstreams from the project shape, coordinate implementation, testing, Review, progress audit, and handoff.

Phase Boundary

Planning and documentation generation are not product implementation.

During requirements, collaboration design, plan, and documentation generation:

• Do not create product code, scaffolds, dependencies, codegen outputs, migrations, or dev servers.
• Do not modify product code directories.
• Generate or edit development docs only after the user confirms the plan or explicitly asks to implement the documentation plan.

Main-control development execution is a separate phase. It starts only when the user opens a new session with 00_新窗口启动提示词.md or explicitly asks to start from 总控开发入口.md. In that phase, implementation workstreams may write only within their authorized scopes.

Hard Rules

1. Exactly one A-main-control.
2. A main control coordinates, decides conflicts, maintains progress, schedules Review, audits, and reports. It does not implement product-code work in multi-agent execution.
3. Product code, schema, OpenAPI, typed client, tests, and deployment-script changes must be assigned to an authorized workstream or logical workstream.
4. Human labels such as Developer A, Developer B, QA, and Tech Lead are responsibility or Review labels, not agent identities. Convert them to project-shaped workstreams or Review owners.
5. A-main-control must not appear as implementer, writable owner, or primary assignee for product implementation tasks. If it does, the generated docs are wrong and must be fixed.
6. Workstreams come from the project shape, not fixed frontend/backend/SDK templates.
7. Every writable role must be in the permission matrix before assignment.
8. Contract, Review, audit, and explorer roles are read-only unless the docs explicitly authorize narrow writes.
9. Real subagents are created only when the user asks for multi-agent, subagent, delegation, or parallel development. Otherwise use logical workstream records.
10. Final closeout is serial: environment check -> implementation evidence -> Review pass -> audit pass -> A reports to user.

A Main Control Must Not "Just Do It"

If a task has been assigned to a workstream, A main control must not do it directly because it is small, convenient, or already open.

To move a workstream task to A direct execution, all three must happen first:

• User explicitly authorizes the change.
• Permission matrix is updated.
• Progress docs record the responsibility change.

If no real subagent exists, A still must create a logical workstream record and execute under that workstream's scope, log, evidence, and Review rules. Do not mix A-control identity with worker identity.

Project Shape First

Before creating workstreams, document the project shape:

• Project type: CLI, Web, desktop, mobile, AI app, data app, multi-service system, docs/paper project, or other.
• Deliverables: code, config, scripts, docs, tests, deployment, data, model.
• Tech stack and runtime: language, framework, package manager, database, browser, container, OS.
• Parallel boundaries: independent directories, modules, services, pages, commands, data domains, doc chapters.
• Shared risks: API, DTO, schema, migration, typed client, shared components, config, deployment scripts, permissions, security.

Workstream Rules

Each writable workstream must have:

• instance name;
• type: implementation-workstream, docs-workstream, contract-review, test-review, security-review, progress-audit, one-shot-investigation;
• lifecycle: persistent, workstream, or one-shot;
• whether multiple instances are allowed;
• reuse scope;
• writable scope;
• forbidden scope;
• required evidence;
• recommended reasoning effort: low, medium, high, or xhigh;
• Review owner;
• creation condition;
• close condition.

Typical generated names should match the project, such as sdk-cli-workstream, admin-ui-workstream, storage-executor-workstream, data-schema-workstream, or docs-revision-workstream.

Reasoning Effort Policy

Use reasoning effort as a task-risk control. When real subagents or APIs support it, A-main-control must set or request the selected level during assignment. When direct setting is unavailable, record the recommended level in the task assignment, workstream registry, or permission matrix.

• Real subagents must not silently inherit the parent session reasoning level by default.
• Each time A-main-control creates or assigns a real subagent, it must explicitly pass or request reasoning_effort from the permission matrix column Recommended reasoning effort.
• Precedence is: permission matrix recommended value -> parent session default -> documented exception with A-main-control confirmation.
• If a workstream has no recommended value, inherit the parent session default reasoning_effort and record that fallback in task progress.
• If cost, speed, or tool limits require a different level, record the reason first and get A-main-control confirmation before assigning the task.
• A-main-control defaults to high.
• Final decisions, cross-workstream conflicts, permission defects, and final audits use xhigh.
• Ordinary implementation workstreams default to medium.
• Simple lookup, formatting, organization, and low-risk docs cleanup use low or medium.
• Contract review, security review, progress audit, and high-risk Review use high; final closeout audit uses xhigh.

Explicit Skill Routing

Use explicit skill routing only when the user specifies skills. If the user does not specify skills, do not invent, infer, or add default skill requirements.

Before plan generation, parse user-provided skill routing lines into two layers:

• Global skill baseline: applies to A-main-control and every real or logical workstream. Recognize inputs such as all agents use skill, 所有智能体使用skill, 所有智能体（包括主子）使用skill, and A主控和所有子智能体使用skill.
• Task or workstream skill routing: applies only to a task type, named workstream, Review, audit, or one-shot assignment. Recognize inputs such as 执行<任务类型>任务的子智能体使用skill, <workstream>使用skill, and <任务>交给<workstream>，使用skill.

Skill names may be separated by +, ,, ，, /, or whitespace. Preserve the user-specified names as written, normalize only obvious spacing, and do not replace them with unrelated skills.

When skill routing exists, the generated plan and docs must record:

• global skills, if any;
• task/workstream-specific required skills, if any;
• optional or forbidden skills, only if the user explicitly states them;
• exact trigger wording for task assignment, such as use playwright skill;
• fallback behavior when a required skill is unavailable.

A-main-control must merge global skills with task/workstream-specific skills before assigning work, record the resulting required skills in task progress, and include the exact trigger wording in the assignment. If a required skill is unavailable, pause or follow the documented fallback instead of pretending the skill was used.

Reuse Rules

Only one effective instance may exist for the same lifecycle and reuse scope.

• persistent: one global primary instance, such as the single A main control.
• workstream: reuse for the same module, directory, deliverable, or context chain.
• one-shot: use only for isolated investigation, validation, or Review. If later tasks need the same context, upgrade to workstream.
• Record every reuse: task, instance name, reason, latest output location.
• If duplicates exist, A pauses assignment, chooses the most complete instance as primary, merges other outputs into the registry/progress docs, then closes duplicates.
• Do not create a duplicate workstream because there are many tasks, a window is long, or switching seems convenient.

Permission Matrix

Every output pack must include a permission matrix. Minimum columns:

Column	Required content
Role / instance	exact name
Type	A main control, implementation-workstream, review, audit, docs, one-shot
Default agent	current session, worker, explorer, logical instance
Product-code write	yes, no, or restricted
Writable scope	directories, file types, module, or docs
Forbidden scope	shared contracts, other modules, secrets, build outputs, unrelated docs
Required evidence	tests, build, screenshot, log summary, Review, audit
Recommended reasoning effort	low, medium, high, or xhigh
Skill routing	global inherited skills and task/workstream-specific required skills, or blank when the user specified none
Review owner	exact role
Close condition	objective proof

Roles outside the matrix cannot modify product code.

Phase Workflow

1. Requirements clarification: ask only questions that change the plan.
2. Collaboration design: offer 2-3 options, always with one A main control.
3. Plan generation: produce a decision-complete plan.
4. Documentation generation: create docs only after plan confirmation.
5. Main-control handoff: new session uses startup docs to execute.

Plan Must Include

• Project summary and project shape.
• Frozen decisions and assumptions.
• Documentation set size: minimal, standard, or complete. Prefer references in references/document-set.md over repeating long lists.
• Docs to create.
• Workstream registry, reuse strategy, and permission matrix.
• Recommended reasoning effort in workstream registry, permission matrix, and task assignments. For real subagents, task assignment must explicitly pass or request reasoning_effort from the permission matrix unless the workstream has no configured value.
• Explicit skill routing only when the user specified skills: global skill baseline, task/workstream skill routing, trigger wording, and fallback.
• Contract-first rule for APIs/data.
• Startup environment checks.
• Code commit/push policy. Default: do not commit or push code during execution unless the project plan or a later user instruction explicitly authorizes it.
• Review and audit gates.
• Acceptance criteria.
• Mapping from human responsibility labels to workstreams or Review owners.

Implementation tasks in the plan must be assigned to workstreams, not A main control.

Documentation Set Guidance

Use existing references and templates instead of copying long content into the skill:

• references/workflow.md
• references/agent-roles.md
• references/document-set.md
• references/templates.md
• references/examples.md
• assets/doc-templates/

The generated pack must include at least:

• startup prompt with a separate copyable /goal execution objective;
• startup environment checklist;
• main-control entry;
• requirements/spec;
• collaboration rules;
• A main-control rules;
• workstream rules;
• progress doc;
• human test checklist;
• docs acceptance checklist.

Self-Check Before Completion

Before claiming docs are complete, verify:

• startup prompt exists and clearly enters main-control execution phase;
• startup prompt includes a separate copyable /goal execution objective;
• /goal objective states that code must not be committed or pushed by default unless the plan or user explicitly authorizes it;
• startup environment checklist exists;
• main-control entry exists;
• progress doc exists;
• there is exactly one A main control;
• project shape is documented before workstreams;
• each role has lifecycle, reuse scope, multi-instance rule, writable scope, forbidden scope, evidence, Review owner, and close condition;
• each real subagent or logical workstream has a recommended reasoning effort;
• each real subagent assignment explicitly passes or requests reasoning_effort from the permission matrix, or records parent-default fallback when no value is configured;
• any reasoning effort override records cost, speed, or tool-limit reason and A-main-control confirmation;
• if the user specified skills, global and task/workstream skill routing are recorded in the plan, startup prompt, main-control entry, collaboration rules, task progress pattern, and docs acceptance checklist;
• if the user did not specify skills, generated docs do not invent skill requirements;
• permission matrix exists;
• product implementation tasks are assigned to workstreams, not A main control;
• human responsibility labels are not converted into A implementation tasks;
• reuse and duplicate-instance handling are explicit;
• A cannot do assigned workstream tasks without explicit user authorization, matrix update, and progress record;
• final audit is a required gate;
• human test checklist exists;
• docs acceptance checklist exists;
• no unfilled placeholder markers remain unless the user requested a blank template.

Failure Handling

• Requirements too vague: do not generate plan; ask 1-3 material questions.
• User skips plan and asks for docs: give a short plan summary and ask for confirmation unless they explicitly insist.
• User asks for docs and code together: split docs phase first, development phase later.
• User does not want multi-agent: use A-only flow with Review/test checklists; do not create implementation workstreams.
• Tech stack unclear: offer 2-3 options and recommend one.
• Permission matrix missing or writable scope unclear: do not assign development tasks.
• Duplicate workstreams created: pause, select primary, merge outputs, close duplicates.
• Product-code task assigned to A main control: treat as doc defect; rewrite assignment to a workstream.
• A main control already did workstream work: stop, record violation, fix matrix/progress; without explicit user authorization, return work to the workstream.
