What is the difference between the Small and Large tracks?

The Small Track consists of 4 gates designed for features taking less than 2 days, while the Large Track includes 9 gates for complex features requiring external dependencies or new data models.

Where are the planning documents stored?

All outputs, including PRDs, TRDs, and task lists, are stored in a structured directory at docs/pre-dev/{feature}/ within your repository.

How do the research agents work?

The skill utilizes specialized agents for codebase analysis, best practices web search, and official framework documentation to provide a research-first foundation for every plan.

Can I skip planning for quick bug fixes?

Yes, the workflow is designed to be skipped for trivial changes under one hour or bug fixes with known solutions where direct implementation is more efficient.

What is the ORCHESTRATOR principle?

It is the core philosophy of directing the AI to manage specialized skills and gate reviews rather than manual planning, ensuring consistent quality and architectural integrity.

Productivity & Workflow

Enforces systematic feature planning and research-first workflows through standardized quality gates for AI-driven development.

The Ring PM Team skill transforms how developers approach feature implementation by mandating a structured pre-development phase. By utilizing specialized research agents and multi-gate tracks—Small for quick tasks and Large for complex systems—it ensures that requirements, architecture, API contracts, and data models are fully defined before a single line of code is written. This skill is essential for maintaining engineering rigor, reducing technical debt, and ensuring that AI agents execute tasks based on clear, atomic, and well-vetted specifications.
