Implementation Readiness Skill

[!IMPORTANT] Verify BRD-lite, PRD, SRS/FRS, UX, and test prerequisites before implementation starts.

Optional args: slug=, ticket=<id/url>, mode=interactive|autonomous|channel, channel=, auto_continue=true|false, profile=business|hybrid|technical.

Instructions

When the user asks to perform this workflow, execute the following steps:

Implementation Readiness Workflow

Goal: Decide whether a planned change is ready for implementation or must return to planning/design.

Steps

1. Load artifacts:

   • BRD-lite brief, PRD/story, SRS/FRS notes, UX/design links, implementation plan, test plan.
   • Jira/GitHub/GitLab/ADO/Figma/Confluence MCP context when configured; otherwise use exported docs or local files.

2. Check readiness:

   • BRD-lite has business goal, stakeholder, AS-IS to TO-BE, and measurable success metric.
   • ACs atomic, testable, scoped by platform/market/role where relevant.
   • PRD has stable requirement IDs, AC IDs, owner, priority, status, and last-updated note.
   • SRS/FRS identifies touched modules, API/data/interface changes, migrations, permissions, failure modes, and NFR thresholds.
   • Requirement trace is complete: BRD objective -> PRD requirement -> SRS/FRS contract -> test lane.
   • UX/design states cover loading, empty, error, permission, and responsive/mobile cases when UI changes.
   • Test strategy maps ACs to unit, integration, E2E/mobile, security, and Zephyr/manual coverage.
   • Tool prerequisites known: credentials, environments, feature flags, test data, MCP availability.

3. Decide:

   • READY: BA/PM/SRS/test prerequisites are present and implementation can start.
   • BLOCKED: missing artifact, owner, unclear AC, missing design/architecture, unavailable environment, or unresolved risk.
   • PARTIAL: only named slices can start; blocked slices have explicit owner/input.

4. Route:

   • For autonomous/channel mode, return READY only with named slices, owners, verification lanes, and available environments.
   • READY -> implement-feature or dev-fix.
   • BLOCKED -> plan-feature or design-solution.
   • PARTIAL -> slice task list plus blockers.

Runtime Contract

• Use before implementation starts to gate go/no-go.
• Required inputs: BRD-lite/PRD/SRS artifacts plus a test strategy to check against.
• Return BLOCKED only when a required artifact, owner, AC, design, environment, or risk is unresolved.

Handoff Payload

• slug, verdict (READY/BLOCKED/PARTIAL), ready slices, blocking gaps, outcome report, next workflow.

Blocking Questions

• Ask max 3 at a time with a recommended default and 2-3 options.
