Description

End-to-end AI-assisted SaaS delivery playbook organized across Kickoff, Inception, Elaboration, Construction, Operations, and Incident Response. Fourteen workflows cover team bootstrap and the project Charter; product and system design; architecture, process, estimation, infrastructure, and CI/CD; project bootstrap; interactive and factory delivery; test automation; iteration orchestration; and continuous delivery assessment.

Workflows

BTM Bootstrap the Team
Applicability gate: count the people actively participating in the project before starting BTM. One or two people is a solo …
ESM Envision the System
Turn your vision into formal design artifacts - user journey, screen flow, mockups, feature files, and design system
DTA Define Architecture
Analyze ESM artifacts, make architectural decisions across 16 domains (application structure through documentation strategy), scan available Skills for coverage, and …
DSP Deploy Software Process
Check prerequisite artifacts (ESM, DTA), choose target AI IDE, and generate configuration (CLAUDE.md / copilot-instructions.md / Windsurf/Cursor rules) so AI …
EST Estimate the Project
Two-level estimation workflow for AI-assisted software development. Level 1 produces T-shirt-sized SWAG from BDD scenarios. Level 2 (Function Point decomposition) …
DCI Design & Deploy Cloud Infra
Design and deploy cloud infrastructure using AWS CDK with Python. Supports two deployment styles chosen in DCI-01: Kubernetes/EKS (separate infra …
DCD Design & Deploy CICD
Design and deploy CI/CD pipeline using GitHub Actions in the application monorepo. Create Helm chart with per-environment values, add container …
BSP Bootstrap Project
Bootstrap a greenfield project from SAO.md decisions. Install prerequisites, initialize repository, scaffold structure, configure tooling, create Makefile, verify with a …
BPE Build Feature
Interactive, feature-by-feature AI-assisted development. Use BPE after ESM, DTA, DSP, and BSP are complete to build one feature spec at …
PIN Plan Iteration
Dark-factory sprint planning. Use PIN when ESM, DTA, DSP, and BSP are complete and you want to deliver a full …
MIN Manage Iteration
Feature-driven, team-lead-driven sprint execution. Advanced-model TL orchestrates the full build→integrate→test→fix→close cycle, one issue at a time. TL dispatches cheap-fast dr-dobbs …
TFK Test Automation Framework
Establish and maintain the test automation infrastructure following the Test Trophy model (integration-heavy, no mocking). Manages the behave+pytest harness, BDD …
RIN Run the Iteration
Thin orchestration shell around PIN and MIN. Each cycle determines cadence and iteration length, selects one evidence-backed goal, invokes PIN, …
AIN Assess the Iteration
Independent supervisory workflow that may run manually or on a Huginn schedule several times during one RIN cycle. Each run …

pip
PIP #80
v86.0 major
Adds a coherent project-management layer to Junior Edda. Bootstrap the Team (BTM) takes a validated business handover through Delivery Manager appointment, Charter v0, client-facing ESM, completion of Inception and Elaboration, Huginn setup, the first shipped iteration, and an evidence-backed Charter v1. Run the Iteration (RIN) wraps PIN and MIN with evidence-based cadence selection, one bounded iteration goal, independent AIN supervision during execution, retrospective learning, team-authored improvement proposals, and a clean next-iteration handoff. Assess the Iteration (AIN) runs manually or on a Huginn schedule from one immutable snapshot. It assesses Charter variables, reconciles idempotent Risk/Problem tickets, measures accepted delivery throughput, checks required-artifact coverage in parallel, and converges all branches into one gating-aware assessment report. The release also makes Plan Before Doing universally applicable with ADE Plan-mode fallback, strengthens safe fan-out and convergence, and defines explicit artifact contracts, Unknown handling, ticket lifecycle, ownership, and predecessor chains.
