Pipeline by Level
Starter (Beginner)
Phase 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 6 -> 9
- Skip: Phase 4 (no API), Phase 5 (optional), Phase 7 (basic SEO only), Phase 8 (simple review)
- Focus: Get a static site live quickly
- Time: 1-3 days
Dynamic (Intermediate)
Phase 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4 -> 5 -> 6 -> 7 -> 9
- Skip: Phase 8 (simplified review integrated into Phase 7)
- Focus: Fullstack app with BaaS backend
- Time: 3-7 days
Enterprise (Advanced)
Phase 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4 -> 5 -> 6 -> 7 -> 8 -> 9
- All 9 phases required
- Each phase uses PDCA cycle
- Focus: Production-grade scalable systems
- Time: 7-14 days (AI Native 10-Day pattern)
Phase Dependencies
Phase 1 (Schema)
└── Phase 2 (Convention) - needs terminology from Phase 1
└── Phase 3 (Mockup) - needs naming rules from Phase 2
├── Phase 4 (API) - needs UI understanding from Phase 3
│ └── Phase 5 (Design System) - needs API contracts from Phase 4
│ └── Phase 6 (UI Integration) - needs components + API
│ └── Phase 7 (SEO & Security) - needs working app
│ └── Phase 8 (Review) - needs complete app
│ └── Phase 9 (Deployment) - needs reviewed code
└── Phase 6 (Starter shortcut) - static sites skip API/Design System
PDCA Integration
Each phase follows the PDCA cycle:
- Plan: Define goals and deliverables for the phase
- Design: Create detailed specifications
- Check/Act: Review output, iterate if needed
Use $pdca skill for PDCA workflow management within each phase.
How to Start
- Determine your project level:
$starter,$dynamic, or$enterprise - Follow the pipeline for your level
- Use
$phase-N-xxxskills for detailed guidance in each phase - Track progress with
$pdca status
Common Questions
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Can I skip phases? | Yes, for Starter/Dynamic levels. See pipeline above. |
| Can I go back to a previous phase? | Yes, PDCA allows iteration. Update docs accordingly. |
| Which phase am I in? | Run $pdca status or check .pdca-status.json |
| Do I need all phases for MVP? | Starter pipeline (5 phases) is sufficient for MVP. |
