Sdlc Skill
[!IMPORTANT]
Route a task to the next synced SDLC workflow based on current artifacts and repo state.
Optional args: slug=, ticket=<id/url>, mode=interactive|autonomous|channel, channel=, auto_continue=true|false.
Instructions
When the user asks to perform this workflow, execute the following steps:
SDLC Router Workflow
Goal: Select the next native workflow without loading every workflow body, while preserving a traceable BA -> PM -> IT Department handoff for offshore delivery.
Steps
-
Inspect state:
- User request
- Search
docs/brd/, docs/prd/, and docs/srs/ for a matching [slug]; if absent, use the newest BRD or git status.
- If multiple candidates exist, list them and ask whether to focus, consolidate, or sequence.
- Baseline reference:
docs/requirements-standards-baseline.md
- Existing ticket, BRD-lite brief, PRD, SRS/FRS design, implementation plan, task list, walkthrough, release notes, and retro
- Jira, ADO, Zephyr, or other MCP context when already configured
- Changed files and current test status
- Offshore delivery context: business owner, product owner, implementation owners, QA owner, timezone/cadence constraints, environments, release window, and dependency teams
- Requirement trace health:
BRD-OBJ-* -> REQ-* -> AC-* -> SRS-* -> test evidence
-
Choose next workflow:
- Unclear idea, missing business case, missing stakeholder owner, or missing measurable value (BRD-lite / Why, BA-owned intake) ->
brainstorm-feature
- BRD-lite exists or business direction is clear but product scope, priorities, acceptance criteria, rollout, or delivery plan are unclear (PRD / What, PM-owned planning) ->
plan-feature
- PRD exists but technical behavior/contracts unclear (SRS/FRS / How) ->
design-solution
- Architecture, auth, trust boundaries, compliance controls, or agent/runtime safety need deeper technical validation ->
design-solution
- BRD-lite, PRD, or SRS/FRS exists but readiness unclear ->
implementation-readiness
- Approved plan needs code ->
implement-feature
- Bug ticket needs fix ->
dev-fix
- Ticket or cross-functional change needs specialist fanout, AC coverage, and PR metadata review ->
review-ticket
- PR diff needs focused merge-risk review ->
code-review
- Code complete but unproven ->
verify-work
-
Enforce handoff quality:
- BA output must include business objective, stakeholder/validation owner, AS-IS/TO-BE, SMART metric, scope fence, risks, assumptions, and BRD objective IDs.
- PM output must link each PRD requirement and AC to a BRD objective, name requirement owners/status/priority, define rollout/ops, and identify whether
design-solution is required.
- IT Department handoff must include implementation owner candidates, affected repos/modules, test lanes, environments, release/rollback notes, and open blockers.
- Never route directly to implementation when BRD/PRD/SRS trace or testable ACs are missing.
-
Set runtime state:
- Interactive: ask max 3 blocking questions.
- Autonomous/channel: continue only when required artifacts and owners are known; otherwise return BLOCKED.
- Emit next workflow, handoff payload, verification command, and owner.
