SKRAFT — The Handbook

SKRAFT is an AI-agent-driven SDLC pipeline. Each development phase is executed by a dedicated agent, then validated by an independent reviewer — no agent validates its own work.

« The only way to go fast is to go well. » — Martin, R. C., Clean Architecture, 2017.

First time here? Follow the running example

The fastest way to understand SKRAFT is to follow one single example from idea to delivered code:

➡️ The running example: a Starbucks order end to end

Then install the plugin and run the pipeline: Getting started.

How to read this handbook

The documentation follows the Diátaxis structure — four doors depending on what you are trying to do:

Door	For…	Start with
Learn (tutorial)	following a guided path	The running example, Getting started
Do (how-to)	solving a precise task	Customization, Genesis & contributing
Understand (explanation)	knowing why it is built this way	The pipeline, Review before review
Look up (reference)	finding a precise fact	Agents, Gates, Patterns

Where to go by role

Executive — why assisted review lowers time-to-delivery: For executives.
Developer — the pipeline phase by phase and the agent team: The pipeline, The team.
Architect — decisions and boundaries: Architecture, Clean Architecture.
Coming from HVE? — the continuity (RPI, state.json, BRD/PRD upstream): HVE → SKRAFT.

Five phases, one agent and one reviewer per phase, on the shared HVE-Core substrate.
