One intent through tickets, worktrees, QA evidence, PRs, and deploy — with artifact counts from a real run.
For engineers who already ship with agent runtimes and need to see what lands on disk before reading harness terminology.
After this page you can name each delivery artifact and choose between macro (/sdlc:goal) and micro (/implement-feature) entry points.
Example input
Section titled “Example input”Build a SaaS onboarding flow with email verification.Same class of intent as a product brief in Plane or a paragraph in chat — not a single-file patch.
What happens
Section titled “What happens”| Step | System action | You receive |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Mode classification | greenfield / feature / fix / content |
| 2 | Decomposition | vertical slices in a run plan |
| 3 | Plane hierarchy | epic + child tickets with specs |
| 4 | Worktrees | feat/JAMBU-N-* branch per ticket |
| 5 | Per ticket | spec → implement → review → QA gates |
| 6 | Integration | merge wave PRs, joint E2E |
| 7 | Deploy | CI deploy URL on manifest |
| 8 | Handoff | .sdlc/handoffs/LATEST.md for the next session |
Macro path command:
/sdlc:goal Build SaaS onboarding with email verification/sdlc:e2e is deprecated; use /sdlc:goal (ADR-020). Manual step-through: /sdlc:goal --manual.
Micro path (one slice only):
/implement-feature JAMBU-42Artifacts produced
Section titled “Artifacts produced”Counts below come from the reference docs-site engineering run (docs-site-engineering-20260526) — a real multi-wave delivery, not a toy demo.
| Artifact | Typical scale |
|---|---|
| Plane tickets | 1 epic + 9 child issues (JAMBU-87–95) |
| Git worktrees | 1 isolated tree per ticket |
| Pull requests | 1 PR per slice, merged in waves |
| Engineering pages | Starlight content + flow diagrams under app/public/images/docs/ |
| QA / visual evidence | manifests under .sdlc/evidence/{run_id}/ |
| Run manifest | .sdlc/workflow-runs/{run_id}/manifest.yaml |
| Deployment record | CI run URL + production smoke gate |
| Session handoff | timestamped file in .sdlc/handoffs/ |
Production constraints: stage transitions do not advance on model claims. Gates read filesystem paths and API state. Deploy nodes require a recorded CI URL. Post-deploy smoke is a separate gate from merge.
