From dc8fade8f92bc0054940903c25a560a6b58dcf48 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hugo Nijhuis Date: Mon, 12 Jan 2026 16:38:20 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] feat: add composable product strategy capability (vision-to-backlog) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Replace monolithic ddd-analyst with composable agent architecture following opinionated product strategy chain from manifesto to executable backlog. New Components: - product-strategy skill: 7-step framework with decision gates - vision-to-backlog skill: Orchestrator with user decision gates (Haiku) - problem-space-analyst agent: Vision → Event timeline (Haiku) - context-mapper agent: Events → Bounded contexts (Haiku) - domain-modeler agent: Contexts → Domain models (Haiku) - capability-extractor agent: Domain → Capabilities (Haiku) - backlog-builder agent: Capabilities → Features → Issues (Haiku) The Chain: Manifesto → Vision → Problem Space → Contexts → Domain → Capabilities → Features → Issues Each step has decision gate preventing waste. Agents work autonomously, orchestrator manages gates and user decisions. Benefits: - Composable: Each agent reusable independently - DDD embedded throughout (not isolated) - Prevents cargo-cult DDD (problem space before modeling) - Works for greenfield + brownfield - All Haiku models (cost-optimized) Removed: - ddd-breakdown skill (replaced by vision-to-backlog) - ddd-analyst agent (replaced by 5 specialized agents) Co-Authored-By: Claude Code --- agents/backlog-builder/AGENT.md | 442 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ agents/capability-extractor/AGENT.md | 276 ++++++++++++++++ agents/context-mapper/AGENT.md | 322 +++++++++++++++++++ agents/ddd-analyst/AGENT.md | 255 --------------- agents/domain-modeler/AGENT.md | 426 +++++++++++++++++++++++++ agents/problem-space-analyst/AGENT.md | 272 ++++++++++++++++ skills/ddd-breakdown/SKILL.md | 136 -------- skills/product-strategy/SKILL.md | 210 ++++++++++++ skills/vision-to-backlog/SKILL.md | 314 ++++++++++++++++++ 9 files changed, 2262 insertions(+), 391 deletions(-) create mode 100644 agents/backlog-builder/AGENT.md create mode 100644 agents/capability-extractor/AGENT.md create mode 100644 agents/context-mapper/AGENT.md delete mode 100644 agents/ddd-analyst/AGENT.md create mode 100644 agents/domain-modeler/AGENT.md create mode 100644 agents/problem-space-analyst/AGENT.md delete mode 100644 skills/ddd-breakdown/SKILL.md create mode 100644 skills/product-strategy/SKILL.md create mode 100644 skills/vision-to-backlog/SKILL.md diff --git a/agents/backlog-builder/AGENT.md b/agents/backlog-builder/AGENT.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..be114d7 --- /dev/null +++ b/agents/backlog-builder/AGENT.md @@ -0,0 +1,442 @@ +--- +name: backlog-builder +description: > + Decomposes capabilities into features and executable issues.
