Product Handoff Protocol
1. Objective
To ensure that NO technical work begins until the Product Artifacts are Verified, Approved, and Compiled.
2. The Quality Gate
You MUST verify that the Product Director (p03) has signed off.
Gate Prerequisites
Before requesting sign-off, verify:
- Product Score: > 70/100 (from
skill-product-analysis).
- Financials: Positive NPV & ROI > 2.0x (from
skill-product-solution-blueprint).
- Backlog: Prioritized with WSJF.
Verification Command
python3 [skill_path]/scripts/verify_gate.py --file docs/product/APPROVED_BACKLOG.md
Note: [skill_path] is the path to this skill (e.g. .agent/skills/skill-product-handoff).
- Exit Code 0: GATE OPEN. Proceed.
- Exit Code 1: GATE CLOSED. Stop immediately.
Signing Command (For p03)
python3 [skill_path]/scripts/sign_off.py --file docs/product/APPROVED_BACKLOG.md
3. BRD Compilation
Once the gate is open, you MUST compile the scattered artifacts into a single BRD.md.
Compilation Command
python3 [skill_path]/scripts/compile_brd.py --market-file docs/product/MARKET_STRATEGY.md --vision-file docs/product/PRODUCT_VISION.md --blueprint-file docs/product/SOLUTION_BLUEPRINT.md --output-file docs/BRD.md
- Inputs:
MARKET_STRATEGY.md, PRODUCT_VISION.md, SOLUTION_BLUEPRINT.md.
- Output:
docs/BRD.md.
4. Triggering Technical Phase
After the BRD is compiled, you initiate the Technical Phase.
Trigger Command
python3 [skill_path]/scripts/trigger_technical.py docs/BRD.md docs/TASK.md
- Effect: Creates the root
TASK.md for the Architect/Developer agents.
5. Workflow Integration
This skill is primarily used by the Orchestrator (p00) or the Handoff Workflow to accept the final output from p04.
6. Examples
- BRD:
examples/example_brd.md (Typical output structure).
- Gate:
examples/example_approved_backlog.md (Showing valid Hash format).
