Requirements Analysis

This workflow guides you through analyzing requirements for a ticket/task to ensure complete understanding before proceeding with implementation.

Steps

1. Locate and Review the Ticket Description

   • Navigate to the ticket folder (./[TICKET-ID]/)
   • Open and review the main ticket description file ([TICKET-ID].md)
   • Identify key requirements, acceptance criteria, and any constraints

2. Analyze Missing Information

   • Create a list of any unclear requirements or missing details
   • Note questions that need clarification from stakeholders
   • Identify potential edge cases that aren't addressed in the requirements

3. Research Related Components

   • Use code search to identify components affected by the task
   • Look for similar past implementations or related documentation
   • Note any dependencies or integration points

4. Gather Additional Information

   • Prepare questions for stakeholders based on your analysis
   • Document answers and clarifications received
   • Update your understanding of requirements based on new information

5. Update Documentation

   • Update the ticket description file with any new information
   • Document any decisions made during the analysis
   • Ensure all requirements are clear, specific, and testable
   • Note any potential challenges or risks identified

6. Prepare for Research Phase

   • Create or update research.md with initial findings
   • Identify specific areas that need deeper technical research
   • Outline questions to answer in the research phase

Upon completion of this workflow, you should have:

1. A complete understanding of the requirements
2. Clear documentation with all necessary details
3. A solid foundation for the research and planning phases
