Objective To ensure that NO technical work begins until the Product Artifacts are **Verified**, **Approved**, and **Compiled**. ## 2. The Quality Gate You MUST verify that the Product Director (`p03`) has signed off. ### Gate Prerequisites Before requesting sign-off, verify: 1. **Product Score:** > 70/100 (from `skill-product-analysis`). 2. **Financials:** Positive NPV & ROI > 2.0x (from `skill-product-solution-blueprint`). 3. **Backlog:** Prioritized with WSJF. ### Verification Command ```bash python3 [skill_path]/scripts/verify_gate.py docs/product/APPROVED_BACKLOG.md ``` > **Note:** `[skill_path]` is the path to this skill (e.g. `.agent/skills/skill-product-handoff`). - **Exit Code 0:** GATE OPEN. Proceed. - **Exit Code 1:** GATE CLOSED. Stop immediately. ### Signing Command (For p03) ```bash python3 [skill_path]/scripts/sign_off.py docs/product/APPROVED_BACKLOG.md ``` ## 3. BRD Compilation Once the gate is open, you MUST compile the scattered artifacts into a single `BRD.md`. ### Compilation Command ```bash python3 [skill_path]/scripts/compile_brd.py docs/product/ docs/BRD.md ``` - **Inputs:** `MARKET_STRATEGY.md`, `PRODUCT_VISION.md`, `SOLUTION_BLUEPRINT.md`. - **Output:** `docs/BRD.md`. ## 4. Triggering Technical Phase After the BRD is compiled, you initiate the Technical Phase. ### Trigger Command ```bash python3 [skill_path]/scripts/trigger_technical.py docs/BRD.md docs/TASK.md ``` - **Effect:** Creates the root `TASK.md` for the Architect/Developer agents. ## 5. Workflow Integration This skill is primarily used by the **Orchestrator (`p00`)** or the **Handoff Workflow** to accept the final output from `p04`. ## 6. Examples - **BRD:** `examples/example_brd.md` (Typical output structure). - **Gate:** `examples/example_approved_backlog.md` (Showing valid Hash format).
