Danijel Martinek 99180887f3 docs(work): decompose platform-retrofit and walking-skeleton epics
platform-retrofit: 8 stories / 18 tasks (spec bundle into docs/product,
single-version release-please before deletions, demo feature removal,
web-next auth shell, optional cores, work-tree archive, library traces,
agent-doc rewrite). walking-skeleton: 11 stories / 28 tasks across
workspaces, discovery, core-runner-protocol, runner app, editor, and
the flagship connect-to-selection e2e; builds on platform-retrofit
(prose dependency note — cross-epic frontmatter unsupported).

docs/work — the local task system

Filesystem-backed Epic/Story/Task hierarchy used by AI agents and humans alike. See docs/architecture/agent-first-workflow-and-conformance.md for the full design. Until the work-system-v1 epic ships orchestration tooling, this folder is human-driven — agents read the files for context, humans flip checkboxes.

Layout

  • prds/<date>-<slug>.prd.md — source PRDs
  • <epic-slug>/_epic.md — one folder per epic
  • <epic-slug>/<story-slug>/_story.md — one folder per story
  • <epic-slug>/<story-slug>/<task-slug>.task.md — one file per task
  • _templates/ — copy-paste templates (added in work-system-v1)
  • _state.json — derived index (added in work-system-v1)

PRD lifecycle

PRD status frontmatter field: draft → in-review → approved → shipped.

  • draft → in-review — author flips when ready for review (manual)
  • in-review → approved — human reviewer flips on acceptance (manual)
  • approved → shipped — auto-flipped by pnpm work prd-ship <prd-id> when the seed epic finishes. The state-builder surfaces this signal under _state.jsonneeds_prd_ship[] so the orchestrator (or a reviewer running the sandcastle workflow) can act on it.

The decomposer refuses to run on draft PRDs. Once approved, the seed epic is generated; once the epic completes, the PRD is automatically flipped to shipped along with its commit list.
