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):

./install.sh --global      # ~/.gemini/antigravity/skills/
./install.sh --workspace   # ./.agent/skills/ + doc templates

PowerShell (Windows):

.\install.ps1              # Global install
.\install.ps1 -Workspace   # Workspace install

Skill Metadata

All skills use consistent frontmatter format:

{
  "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"
  ]
}

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
