Implement Plan Preflight

Execute the Preflight phase of the
/itp:go
workflow. Creates ADR and Design Spec artifacts with proper cross-linking and verification.

When to Use This Skill

  • Invoked by
    /itp:go
    command during Preflight phase
  • User asks to create an ADR for a feature
  • User mentions "design spec" or "MADR format"
  • Manual preflight verification needed

Preflight Workflow Overview

P.1: Create Feature Branch (if -b flag)
P.2: Create ADR File (MADR 4.0)
P.3: Create Design Spec (from global plan)
P.4: Verify Checkpoint (MANDATORY)
CRITICAL: Do NOT proceed to Phase 1 implementation until ALL preflight steps are complete and verified.

Quick Reference

ADR ID Format

YYYY-MM-DD-slug
Example:
2025-12-01-clickhouse-aws-ohlcv-ingestion

File Locations

ArtifactPath
ADR
/docs/adr/$ADR_ID.md
Design Spec
/docs/design/$ADR_ID/spec.md
Global Plan
~/.claude/plans/<adj-verb-noun>.md

Cross-Links (MANDATORY)

In ADR header:
markdown
**Design Spec**: [Implementation Spec](/docs/design/YYYY-MM-DD-slug/spec.md)
In spec.md header:
markdown
**ADR**: [Feature Name ADR](/docs/adr/YYYY-MM-DD-slug.md)

Execution Steps

Step P.1: Create Feature Branch (Optional)

Only if
-b
flag specified. See Workflow Steps for details.

Step P.2: Create ADR File

  1. Create
    /docs/adr/$ADR_ID.md
  2. Use template from ADR Template
  3. Populate frontmatter from session context
  4. Select perspectives from Perspectives Taxonomy
  5. Use Skill tool to invoke
    adr-graph-easy-architect
    for diagrams

Step P.3: Create Design Spec

  1. Create folder:
    mkdir -p docs/design/$ADR_ID
  2. Copy global plan:
    cp ~/.claude/plans/<adj-verb-noun>.md docs/design/$ADR_ID/spec.md
  3. Add ADR backlink to spec header

Step P.4: Verify Checkpoint

Run validator or manual checklist:
bash
uv run scripts/preflight_validator.py $ADR_ID
Checklist (ALL must be true):
  • ADR file exists at
    /docs/adr/$ADR_ID.md
  • ADR has YAML frontmatter with all 7 required fields
  • ADR has
    **Design Spec**:
    link in header
  • DIAGRAM CHECK 1: ADR has Before/After diagram (Context section)
  • DIAGRAM CHECK 2: ADR has Architecture diagram (Architecture section)
  • Design spec exists at
    /docs/design/$ADR_ID/spec.md
  • Design spec has
    **ADR**:
    backlink in header
If any item is missing: Create it now. Do NOT proceed to Phase 1.

Diagram Requirements (2 DIAGRAMS REQUIRED)

⛔ MANDATORY: Every ADR must include EXACTLY 2 diagrams:
DiagramLocationPurpose
Before/AfterContext sectionShows system state change
ArchitectureArchitecture sectionShows component relationships
SKILL INVOCATION: Invoke
adr-graph-easy-architect
skill NOW to create BOTH diagrams.
BLOCKING GATE: Do NOT proceed to design spec until BOTH diagrams are embedded in ADR.

Validation Script

bash
# Verify preflight artifacts
uv run scripts/preflight_validator.py <adr-id>

# Example
uv run scripts/preflight_validator.py 2025-12-01-my-feature
