What it does
Right-size, ground, and gate SDLC decisions with SNC-sized depth, said-vs-assumed write-back, an evidence ledger, honest option cards, recorded approval, and self-review. Use when running brainstorm-feature, plan-feature, design-solution, or system-design-session.
Decision Discipline
Priority: P0 (CRITICAL)
Trustworthy decisions are sized to the work, grounded in evidence, and approved on the record.
1. Size The Work
| SNC tier | Depth | Artifact |
|---|---|---|
tier=low (0-2) | Quick | Contract in chat, no file; approval in the Handoff Payload |
tier=medium (3-4) | Standard | Core brief file |
tier=high (5-6) | Deep | Full brief; decompose multi-subsystem ideas first; optional specialist-architecture-guard review |
- Score with
common-task-complexity-routing; label as inference until scouted. - Downward complexity reassessment requires documented new evidence (e.g., scouted blast radius proves isolated scope), never to bypass unresolved risk, required approvals, or the sensitive-change risk floor.
- Sensitive-Change Risk Floor: Auth, money, data integrity, or trust boundaries enforce minimum
tier=mediumregardless of arithmetic SNC total; non-zero novelty or spread (S≥1 or N≥1 with C=2) escalates totier=high. - Low-Risk Maintenance: Sufficiently specified routine fixes or maintenance may use an in-chat contract rather than creating BRD/PRD/SRS files. Preserve full traceability for governed or high-risk delivery.
- Downstream specialist workers execute against their assigned briefs; do not reload or repeat parent intake in specialists.
- A symptom without a root cause routes to
dev-fix; never compare fixes for an undiagnosed bug.
