FDD Plan

Generate a Feature Map from the design document.

Prerequisites

• Design document must exist (.FDD/iterations/design_document.md)
• Design document must be approved

Instructions

Phase 1: Analyze Design Document

1. Read .FDD/iterations/design_document.md
2. Extract:
   • Business objectives → business_context.objectives
   • Constraints → business_context.constraints
   • Success criteria → business_context.success_criteria
   • Architecture → design_context.architecture
   • Technologies → design_context.technologies

Phase 2: Decompose into Feature Sets

1. Identify Feature Sets from functional requirements:

   • Group related features together
   • Each Feature Set = 3-7 related features
   • Name should reflect user-facing functionality

2. For each Feature Set, define:

   - id: FS-XXX
     name: "Feature Set Name"
     description: "What this feature set delivers"
     status: pending
     priority: high|medium|low
     dependencies: [FS-YYY, FS-ZZZ]  # Other Feature Sets
     features:
       - id: F-XXX-001
         name: "Feature Name"
         description: "Specific feature description"
         status: pending
         dependencies: []  # Internal feature dependencies
   

3. Build Dependency Graph:

   • Identify dependencies between Feature Sets
   • Ensure no circular dependencies
   • Mark independent Feature Sets (can run in parallel)

Phase 3: Quality Validation Loop

Run Validator/Improver loop using /FDD-improve:

/FDD-improve feature_map .FDD/feature_map.yaml 3

This will:

1. Validate via /FDD-validate-map:

   • Dependency Validity: No cycles, all references valid
   • Coverage: All requirements mapped to features
   • Granularity: Features are appropriately sized

2. If issues found, invoke fdd-improver agent and re-validate

3. Generate execution order:

   • Use /FDD-get-executable to identify parallelizable groups
   • Topological sort of Feature Sets

Phase 4: Human Approval Gate

• Present Feature Map summary:
  • Total Feature Sets
  • Total Features
  • Estimated parallel execution groups
• Ask for approval to proceed

Output

Update .FDD/feature_map.yaml with:

• Populated business_context
• Populated design_context
• Complete feature_sets list

Next Step

After approval: /FDD design
