## Key Features

### Stage-Gate Architecture

Hard-gate blocks enforce sequential execution:

```
ipa-spec ✓ (no prerequisites)
   ↓
ipa-design (requires SRD.md)
   ↓
ipa-detail (requires UI_SPEC.md)
   ↓
ipa-validate (requires API_SPEC.md + DB_DESIGN.md)
```

Each skill checks for required files before executing and returns clear error messages if gates aren't satisfied.

### Template System

Four core doc templates provided:

| Template | Purpose | Sections |
|----------|---------|----------|
| `SRD.md` | Requirements | Overview, Features, User Stories, Constraints |
| `UI_SPEC.md` | UI Design | Wireframes, Flows, Component Library, Responsive |
| `API_SPEC.md` | API Definition | Endpoints, Request/Response, Authentication, Errors |
| `DB_DESIGN.md` | Database | Schema, Relationships, Indexes, Migrations |

### Installation System

**Bash (Linux/macOS):**
```bash
./install.sh --global      # ~/.gemini/antigravity/skills/
./install.sh --workspace   # ./.agent/skills/ + doc templates
```

**PowerShell (Windows):**
```powershell
.\install.ps1              # Global install
.\install.ps1 -Workspace   # Workspace install
```

## Skill Metadata

All skills use consistent frontmatter format:

```json
{
  "id": "ipa-spec",
  "name": "IPA Spec Generation",
  "category": "ipa-core",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "triggers": ["spec", "requirements", "srd"],
  "description": "Generate Software Requirements Definition",
  "output": ["SRD.md", "UI_SPEC.md"],
  "dependencies": [],
  "hardGates": [],
  "examples": [
    "Generate requirements for a user auth feature",
    "Create SRD for payment processing module"
  ]
}
```

## Code Quality Metrics

### Validation Results (✓ Passed)

| Check | Target | Result | Status |
|-------|--------|--------|--------|
| Total Skills | 24 | 24 | ✓ |
| Valid Frontmatter | 100% | 100% | ✓ |
| CK References | 0 | 0 | ✓ |
| Trigger Keywords | 3+ | ✓ | ✓ |

### Skill Size Limits

- Each skill: < 500 lines (focused, maintainable)
- Frontmatter: 20-30 lines (JSON)
- Markdown content: 470-480 lines (description, examples, notes)

## Naming Conventions

### Skill Names
- Format: `kebab-case` (hyphens only)
- Examples: `ipa-spec`, `lean-analyst`, `ipa-context-aware-planning`
- Migration: `ipa:spec` (IPA-for-CK) → `ipa-spec` (Antigravity)

### Files
- Skills: `skills/{skill-name}/SKILL.md`
- Templates: `templates/docs/{name}.template`
- Docs: `docs/{topic}-{subtopic}.md`

### Categories
- `ipa-core` — Core pipeline (4 skills)
- `ipa-support` — Utilities and extensions (10 skills)
- `ipa-lean` — MVP analysis (4 skills)
- `ipa-setup` — Installation and help (4 skills)
- `ipa-orchestration` — Multi-stage coordination (2 skills)

## Dependencies

### External
- **Antigravity IDE (Gemini CLI)** v1.0+ — Required runtime
- No ClaudeKit, no external npm packages, no Python dependencies

### Internal
- `ipa-spec` ← depends on templates
- `ipa-design` ← depends on `ipa-spec` output
- `ipa-detail` ← depends on `ipa-design` output
- `ipa-validate` ← depends on all previous outputs
- `ipa-all` ← orchestrates `ipa-spec` → `ipa-design` → `ipa-detail` → `ipa-validate`
- `lean` / `lean-analyst` → can feed into `ipa-spec`

## Installation & Distribution

### Package Contents
- 24 skill SKILL.md files
- 4 template doc files (SRD, UI_SPEC, API_SPEC, DB_DESIGN)
- 1 SKILL.md template for contributors
- Installation scripts (bash, PowerShell)
- skills_index.json registry

### Distribution Channels
- GitHub releases (tagged v1.0.0, v1.1.0, etc.)
- Antigravity marketplace (if available)
- Manual clone + `./install.sh`

## Performance & Scalability

### Latency
- Skill invocation: < 100ms (excluding LLM)
- Frontmatter parsing: < 50ms per skill
- Full pipeline (4 stages): 5-15 minutes (LLM-dependent)

### Scalability
- Designed for 1-50 person teams
- Handles projects up to 100K+ LOC (via doc splitting)
- Can process 10K+ user stories (ipa-spec batches them)

## Security & Privacy

### Data Handling
- No telemetry or tracking
- User documents stay local (not uploaded)
- No authentication required
- Open-source (MIT license)

### Code Review
- Zero hardcoded credentials
- No shell execution (Antigravity IDE safe)
- Template files stripped of sensitive data

## Known Limitations

1. **Hard-gates are advisory** — Enforced by skill logic, not platform
2. **Single project per workspace** — Multiple projects need separate folders
3. **No real-time collaboration** — Docs are local files
4. **Requires Antigravity IDE v1.0+** — Not compatible with ClaudeKit IDE
5. **Manual doc merge** — No automatic conflict resolution for parallel editing

## Future Enhancements (Out of Scope v1.0)

- Web UI for pipeline visualization
- Real-time team collaboration
- CI/CD integration for automated validation
- Multi-language support (Japanese, Spanish, French)
- Custom hard-gate plugins
- Integration with Jira, GitHub Issues, Notion
