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

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.
