install-skraft-pipeline

name	install-skraft-pipeline
description	Install the full eleven-workflow skraft SDLC pipeline (discover → discuss → design → distill → deliver, each with an automated reviewer) into the current repo in one pass. Use when the user wants an end-to-end agent pipeline driven by a single issue label, or types /install-skraft-pipeline.

install-skraft-pipeline

Install all eleven skraft-pipeline workflows into the current repo in one pass: fetch via gh aw add, create the labels, validate, and summarize.

The result: the user dispatches a task by adding the single sdlc label to any issue. The eleven agents (five specialist roles + five reviewers + one orchestrator) coordinate across the issue thread via structured HTML-comment blocks and a label-based state machine.

When to use this

• User says "install skraft", "set up the SDLC pipeline", "install the discover/discuss/design/distill/implement/review workflows", or similar.
• User types /install-skraft-pipeline.
• User has just heard about the pattern via the catalog README and asked to install it.

When NOT to use this

• User wants a single workflow — hand off to gh aw new instead.
• User's repo has no tests AND they want PRs that check passing tests — warn them: the reviewer expects a runnable test command. Offer to install anyway with the caveat that the reviewer will note "no test infrastructure" on every review.

---

Flow

1. Explain what's about to happen

One paragraph: eleven workflows will be added (five specialist roles, five automated reviewers, one orchestrator), one auth secret will be set, thirteen labels will be created, nothing runs until the user opens an issue and adds sdlc.
Ask for explicit confirmation to proceed. The user must opt in — workflows run on push.

2. Preflight

Check in parallel:

• gh CLI authenticated (gh auth status)
• workflow scope present on the gh token (gh auth status -t 2>&1 | grep -i 'token scopes').
  Without it, the first git push of *.lock.yml will fail with "refusing to allow an OAuth App to create or update workflow ... without workflow scope".
  If missing → gh auth refresh -s workflow -h github.com (browser flow, ~30 sec).
• gh aw extension installed (gh extension list | grep gh-aw)
• Current dir is a git repo clean enough to commit (git status --porcelain)
• User has write access to origin (gh repo view --json viewerPermission)
• Repo Actions settings allow PR creation. Warn the user that
  Settings → Actions → General → "Allow GitHub Actions to create and approve pull requests"
  must be ON. The skill cannot flip this.

If any check fails, surface it plainly. Don't install tools on the user's behalf.

3. Set up auth once

Ask once: "GitHub Copilot subscription, Claude Pro/Max subscription, or API key?"

Check gh secret list first — if the secret already exists, reuse it. Do not re-prompt.

Engine	Secret name	How to set
Copilot (default)	(no extra secret needed — uses GITHUB_TOKEN)	Nothing to do
Claude OAuth	CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN	claude setup-token then gh secret set CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN
Anthropic API key	ANTHROPIC_API_KEY	gh secret set ANTHROPIC_API_KEY

Never echo or store the token. One secret covers all six workflows.
If using Claude, update the engine: field in each .md file from copilot to claude before running gh aw add (or edit after, then recompile).

4. Install all eleven workflows

Run in sequence (each gh aw add auto-compiles and adds a source: field for future gh aw update):

gh aw add SebastienDegodez/agentic-project-demo/catalog/skraft-pipeline/backlog-discoverer.md@main
gh aw add SebastienDegodez/agentic-project-demo/catalog/skraft-pipeline/backlog-discoverer-reviewer.md@main
gh aw add SebastienDegodez/agentic-project-demo/catalog/skraft-pipeline/backlog-planner.md@main
gh aw add SebastienDegodez/agentic-project-demo/catalog/skraft-pipeline/backlog-planner-reviewer.md@main
gh aw add SebastienDegodez/agentic-project-demo/catalog/skraft-pipeline/solution-architect.md@main
gh aw add SebastienDegodez/agentic-project-demo/catalog/skraft-pipeline/solution-architect-reviewer.md@main
gh aw add SebastienDegodez/agentic-project-demo/catalog/skraft-pipeline/acceptance-designer.md@main
gh aw add SebastienDegodez/agentic-project-demo/catalog/skraft-pipeline/acceptance-designer-reviewer.md@main
gh aw add SebastienDegodez/agentic-project-demo/catalog/skraft-pipeline/software-engineer.md@main
gh aw add SebastienDegodez/agentic-project-demo/catalog/skraft-pipeline/software-engineer-reviewer.md@main
gh aw add SebastienDegodez/agentic-project-demo/catalog/skraft-pipeline/skraft-orchestrator.md@main

Installer l'orchestrateur en dernier (il dépend des 10 autres pour ses dispatches).

If any gh aw add fails, stop and surface the exact error — do not proceed with a partial install. The eleven are a unit; a half-installed pipeline dead-ends on the first reviewer handoff.

5. Create the labels

Create these labels (idempotent — --force ignores "already exists"):

# Pipeline trigger
gh label create sdlc                   --color 0052CC --description "Kicks off the skraft SDLC pipeline" --force

# State machine labels
gh label create "state:plan-needed"    --color E4E669 --description "skraft: ready for the planner" --force
gh label create "state:design-needed"  --color E4E669 --description "skraft: ready for the architect" --force
gh label create "state:distill-needed" --color E4E669 --description "skraft: ready for the acceptance designer" --force
gh label create "state:impl-needed"    --color FCD34D --description "skraft: ready for the implementer" --force
gh label create "state:review-needed"  --color FDBA74 --description "skraft: ready for the reviewer" --force
gh label create "state:done"           --color 86EFAC --description "skraft: task approved by reviewer" --force
gh label create "state:blocked"        --color F87171 --description "skraft: paused, human intervention required" --force

# story_type detection labels (backlog-discoverer reads these)
gh label create "type/feature"         --color 0075ca --description "Functional story — Gherkin produced" --force
gh label create "type/bug"             --color d73a4a --description "Functional story — Gherkin produced" --force
gh label create "type/tech-debt"       --color E4E669 --description "Technical story — impl-plan only" --force
gh label create "type/infra"           --color E4E669 --description "Technical story — impl-plan only" --force
gh label create "type/refactoring"     --color E4E669 --description "Technical story — impl-plan only" --force

6. Validate

gh aw validate

Runs against all lock files. Safe (no recompile). Surface any warnings.

7. Summarize

Show the user, in this order:

• Eleven files added under .github/workflows/ (name each .md + .lock.yml pair)
• Secret configured (name only, never value) or reused / skipped for Copilot
• Thirteen labels created (or "N already existed, skipped")
• How to dispatch a task:

  "Open an issue describing what you want built. Add the sdlc label. Done."

• Reminder: gh aw compile reverts any manual engine tweaks. Re-apply on every recompile. gh aw validate is safe.

Then ask whether to commit and push. Do not commit without explicit confirmation.

Hard rules

• All or nothing. If any of the eleven gh aw add calls fails, stop and back out. A half-installed pipeline is worse than none — users will dispatch tasks that stall silently at the first missing reviewer.
• Never write workflow YAML by hand. Always delegate to gh aw add. The .md sources live in this repo's catalog/skraft-pipeline/.
• Never store or echo the auth token. Pipe through gh secret set stdin.
• Never commit or push without explicit user confirmation. Workflows run on push.
• Never install on top of an existing skraft setup without asking. If .github/workflows/backlog-discoverer.lock.yml already exists, ask before overwriting — the user may have customized it.

---

User journey (for surfacing to the user)

After install, the entire per-task journey is:

1. User opens an issue describing a feature or bug.
2. User adds label sdlc (or runs /sdlc slash command via skraft-orchestrator).
3. backlog-discoverer posts a triage report → dispatches backlog-discoverer-reviewer.
4. backlog-discoverer-reviewer posts verdict → approve: state:plan-needed + dispatch backlog-planner / reject: re-dispatch backlog-discoverer.
5. backlog-planner posts user story + AC → dispatches backlog-planner-reviewer.
6. backlog-planner-reviewer posts verdict → approve: state:design-needed + dispatch solution-architect / reject: re-dispatch backlog-planner.
7. solution-architect posts event model + ADR + contracts → dispatches solution-architect-reviewer.
8. solution-architect-reviewer posts verdict → approve: state:distill-needed + dispatch acceptance-designer / reject: re-dispatch solution-architect.
9. acceptance-designer posts Gherkin + impl-plan → dispatches acceptance-designer-reviewer.
10. acceptance-designer-reviewer posts verdict → approve: state:impl-needed + dispatch software-engineer / reject: re-dispatch acceptance-designer.
11. software-engineer opens a draft PR (Closes #N) → state:review-needed + dispatch software-engineer-reviewer.
12. software-engineer-reviewer posts a structured verdict:
    • approved → state:done (user merges)
    • kickback → re-dispatch software-engineer with iteration+1 (max 3 rounds)
    • blocked → state:blocked (human resolves)
13. User reviews the approved draft PR and merges. Agents never merge.

Escape hatches at any time: add state:blocked to halt, edit a comment to steer the next agent, or manually gh workflow run a specific role to retry a stuck stage.

Out of scope for v0.1

• Uninstalling the pipeline (remove the eleven .md/.lock.yml files + labels manually)
• Cross-repo install
• Customizing max iterations without editing the workflow source
• Turning individual roles on/off — the eleven are designed to work as a unit
• Updating installed workflows to a newer version (use gh aw update once supported)
