What is the role of the implementation plan?

The implementation plan serves as the source of truth for the autonomous implementation phase, allowing Claude to execute coding steps and verify results without constant user prompting.

How does Katachi ensure feature quality?

The skill dispatches specialized reviewer agents (spec-reviewer, design-reviewer, and code-reviewer) at each stage of the process to provide structured critique before a feature moves forward.

Does this skill track project progress?

Yes, it integrates with a FEATURES.md file to update statuses such as Spec, Design, Plan, and Implementation, providing a clear view of your project's roadmap.

Can I use this skill to document existing code?

Yes, the 'retrofit-design' command is specifically designed to analyze existing implementations and generate the necessary design documents and rationale.

Productivity & Workflow

Orchestrates the entire feature development lifecycle from specification and design to planning and autonomous implementation.

Katachi Feature Lifecycle Manager is a specialized workflow orchestration skill for Claude Code that standardizes how new features are built. It guides developers through a rigorous multi-step process—specification, design, planning, and implementation—using domain-specific templates and automated status tracking. By dispatching specialized reviewer agents at each milestone, it ensures that every feature adheres to project standards and design rationale. The skill is particularly powerful for complex projects, offering an autonomous implementation mode that follows documentation as the source of truth to build and verify code independently.

Key Features

01Automated workflow orchestration for feature specs, designs, and implementation plans

02Autonomous implementation mode that follows verified plans without manual intervention

03Integrated status tracking and dependency validation using local feature manifests
