SDLC Agentic Pipeline
8 agents collaborate asynchronously through Jira comments as a message bus.
Figma MCP is consumed exclusively by figma-design-agent; all other agents
read Figma data through figma-extract.md and the updated SDD docs.

PM Agent = orchestrator (mode: all); all others = subagents (mode: subagent).
figma-design-agent runs in mode: all and is the EXCLUSIVE consumer of Figma MCP
(figma.get_figma_data, figma.download_figma_images). All other agents consume
Figma data through specs/<YYYY-MM-DD-...>/figma-extract.md and the SDD docs
that figma-design-agent updates after user-confirmed diff.
Prerequisites
Step 0 (Service Onboarding) must complete first. See references/setup/service-onboarding.md.
Step 0.0.5 - Multi-Tool Selection
PM Agent presents 4 multiselect questions (MCP servers, SDD, TDD, DDD).
Selection persisted to .codeartsdoer/tool-selections.json. See references/setup/multi-tool-selection-plan.md.
Figma MCP is selectable as part of Q1 (MCP & Services); selecting it triggers Step 0.11 onboarding.
Step 0.F - Figma-vs-SDD Diff (optional, runs when figma selected AND SDD docs already exist)
- User invokes
figma-design-agent with a Figma URL + target SDD directory
- Agent calls
figma.get_figma_data and figma.download_figma_images
- Agent writes
specs/<YYYY-MM-DD-...>/figma-extract.md and produces a diff
(Missing in spec / Missing in Figma / Mismatch / Outdated)
- User confirms each category; agent updates
spec.md / design.md / tasks.md
- Agent hands off to
pm-agent with the routing breakdown
(frontend / backend / tester / code-reviewer / devops)
Methodology Skills
| Methodology |
Tools |
Primary/Supplementary Rule |
| SDD |
SDD Toolkit, OpenSpec |
First selected = PRIMARY; others = SUPPLEMENTARY |
| TDD |
Playwright (E2E), Postman/Newman (API), Jest/Vitest/Pytest/JUnit (Unit) |
Each tool owns its own test layer; all must pass |
| DDD |
Context Mapper, EventStorming, Structurizr |
First selected = PRIMARY; others = SUPPLEMENTARY |
| DevOps |
Azure DevOps CLI |
Mutually exclusive with GitHub + Jira |
| Design-to-Code |
Figma MCP |
Figma data → SDD docs → frontend/backend implementation |
Built-in utility skills (always on, not selectable): ide-tool, doc-expert, pptx, data-analysis, prd, frontend-design, i18n-integration, skill-installer
Permission Setup
Deny-by-default. Only explicitly allowed skills can be invoked.

Quick Start
- Create a GitHub repository manually — the pipeline never creates repos
- Copy
sdlc-agentic-pipeline/ into .codeartsdoer/skills/
- Append
sdlc-agentic-pipeline=true to .codeartsdoer/skills/ProjectSkillStatus.txt
- Run Step 0 (Service Onboarding) — if
figma is selected, run Step 0.11 first
- (Optional) Run Step 0.F (
figma-design-agent) when an SDD directory + Figma URL exist
- Say "start agentic flow"

Execution Notes
- Repo creation is manual, human-only — no agent ever calls
github_create_repository
- PM Agent is the only agent that can authorize deployment and close sprints
- PM Agent is READ-ONLY with the repository; all git writes delegated to developer agents
- DevOps Agent does NOT create or merge PRs
- Existing artifacts are sacred (Option A) — never modified without explicit user approval
- Tester Agent exclusively owns E2E/Playwright tests; Frontend/Backend own unit/component tests
- CI/CD is auto-triggered on push to
dev
- Pipeline degrades gracefully — steps that depend on unselected tools are skipped
- Azure DevOps CLI is mutually exclusive with GitHub + Jira — when selected, the
azure-devops-cli skill replaces GitHub MCP (Repos), Jira MCP (Boards), and GitHub Actions (Pipelines)
- Figma MCP is EXCLUSIVE to
figma-design-agent — no other agent may call
figma.get_figma_data or figma.download_figma_images; all other agents read
specs/<YYYY-MM-DD-...>/figma-extract.md and the SDD docs that
figma-design-agent updates after user-confirmed diff.
