Product Handoff Protocol

1. Objective

To ensure that NO technical work begins until the Product Artifacts are Verified, Approved, and Compiled.

2. The Quality Gate

You MUST verify that the Product Director (p03) has signed off.

Gate Prerequisites

Before requesting sign-off, verify:

Product Score: > 70/100 (from skill-product-analysis).
Financials: Positive NPV & ROI > 2.0x (from skill-product-solution-blueprint).
Backlog: Prioritized with WSJF.

Verification Command

python3 [skill_path]/scripts/verify_gate.py --file docs/product/APPROVED_BACKLOG.md

Note: [skill_path] is the path to this skill (e.g. .agent/skills/skill-product-handoff).

Exit Code 0: GATE OPEN. Proceed.
Exit Code 1: GATE CLOSED. Stop immediately.

Signing Command (For p03)

python3 [skill_path]/scripts/sign_off.py --file docs/product/APPROVED_BACKLOG.md

3. BRD Compilation

Once the gate is open, you MUST compile the scattered artifacts into a single BRD.md.

Compilation Command

python3 [skill_path]/scripts/compile_brd.py --market-file docs/product/MARKET_STRATEGY.md --vision-file docs/product/PRODUCT_VISION.md --blueprint-file docs/product/SOLUTION_BLUEPRINT.md --output-file docs/BRD.md

Inputs: MARKET_STRATEGY.md, PRODUCT_VISION.md, SOLUTION_BLUEPRINT.md.
Output: docs/BRD.md.

4. Triggering Technical Phase

After the BRD is compiled, you initiate the Technical Phase.

Trigger Command

python3 [skill_path]/scripts/trigger_technical.py docs/BRD.md docs/TASK.md

Effect: Creates the root TASK.md for the Architect/Developer agents.

5. Workflow Integration

This skill is primarily used by the Orchestrator (p00) or the Handoff Workflow to accept the final output from p04.

6. Examples

BRD: examples/example_brd.md (Typical output structure).
Gate: examples/example_approved_backlog.md (Showing valid Hash format).
