Why does the skill enforce a fail-fast policy?

The fail-fast policy prevents partial or incorrect executions by stopping immediately if any preflight check, validation gate, or command fails, ensuring data integrity across the SDLC.

What are 'beads' in this workflow?

Beads are the primary source of truth for work artifacts like reports, specs, and proposals. They provide a deterministic record of execution that is more reliable than standard markdown mirrors.

What is a FlowMind session in Lev Work MVP?

A FlowMind session is a state-managed execution path that handles step-by-step progressive disclosure, ensuring the agent follows a specific workflow stack for a goal.

How does stack selection heuristic work?

When a STACK_ID isn't provided, the skill analyzes the task goal to automatically assign it to 'sdlc-exec-validate' for implementation, 'sdlc-deepen-plan' for research, or 'sdlc-hygiene' for maintenance.

Productivity & Workflow

Standardizes developer workloads through session-driven execution, fail-fast validation gates, and bead-first artifact persistence.

The Lev Work MVP skill provides a structured framework for managing the software development lifecycle (SDLC) using Lev runtime contracts and FlowMind session-driven execution. It automates the progression from planning to execution and verification, ensuring that every task follows strict validation gates and persists results via 'beads' for deterministic tracking. By enforcing a CLI-first, fail-fast approach, it streamlines complex developer workflows and maintains high-quality standards across implementation, research, and maintenance tasks.
