What is the purpose of the classification step?

Classification determines if the work is a /bug, /feature, /chore, or /patch, which helps subsequent AI agents apply the correct implementation strategy.

What systems can the Frame skill fetch work from?

The Frame skill supports GitHub, Jira, Linear, and manual inputs to retrieve work item details and metadata.

Does it automatically create git branches?

Yes, when operating in the engineering domain, it can automatically create and name git branches based on the work item ID and title.

Can I use Frame for non-engineering tasks?

Yes, it is designed to support multiple domains including engineering, design, writing, and data, with domain-specific environment setup logic.

How does it interact with other FABER skills?

Frame is the first phase of the FABER workflow; it passes the initialized context and environment details to the Architect phase for technical specification.

Productivity & Workflow

Automates the initial phase of development workflows by fetching work items, classifying tasks, and preparing the environment.

The Frame skill serves as the foundational entry point for FABER-driven workflows, ensuring every task starts with a clear context and a ready-to-use environment. It integrates with issue trackers like GitHub, Jira, and Linear to retrieve work details, automatically classifies the nature of the task (e.g., bug vs. feature), and handles boilerplate setup such as creating git branches and installing dependencies. By providing a deterministic way to initialize work, this skill eliminates manual setup overhead and ensures that subsequent AI agents have the necessary data to perform architecture and implementation tasks correctly.
