Agentic Product Lifecycle

mxa-plan

Turns an intent into a spec before anything is built: the problem, the scope, the approach, the riskiest assumptions, the tasks and what success looks like. Then it revises the spec as the build proves parts of it wrong.

  • Asks questions before it writes, because the questioning is where the thinking happens.
  • Writes the spec as the one durable document the rest of the work is generated from.
  • Names the riskiest assumptions first, so the build tests them early rather than discovering them late.
  • Hands the tasks to the tracker rather than keeping its own list, so there is one place work lives.
  • Rewrites the spec when the build contradicts it, rather than leaving a document nobody trusts.

What is inside

Instructions. Nothing here runs on its own: the judgement is the skill.

Works with

The outside tools and connectors this skill drives.

  • Markdown specs kept in the repo· our default
  • Spec Kit
  • exported to the issue tracker

The first is what we reach for on our own projects. A project that already uses one of the others keeps it, and the skill works with that instead.
