# new-app-pipeline
The end-to-end process for starting a new app: capture the idea as a PRD, refine it by resolving every open question, break it into execution-ready GitHub issues, review the model/effort assignments, then run the milestone workflow. Each stage produces a durable artifact (PR, issues, workflow run) so the pipeline survives context resets — the conversation is never the state.
## Stages
| # | Stage | Skill | Artifact | Checkpoint before next stage |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Idea → PRD | `app-prd` | `PRD.md` on a PR | User iterates on the draft, in bursts |
| 2 | Resolve questions | `prd-questions` | Updated PRD, empty Open Questions | User answered every batch |
| 3 | Merge the PRD PR | — | PRD on main | Explicit user go |
| 4 | Issues + milestones | `prd-to-issues` | Milestones, 15–25 issues with Execution blocks | User reviews the breakdown table |
| 5 | Execution plan | `execution-plan-review` | Revised Execution blocks | User settles the final table |
| 6 | Show the plan | `milestoneplan` | Single per-issue plan table (complexity, dependencies, models, efforts, fableplan, first review) | User reviews the table (recommended, not required) |
| 7 | Run a milestone | `milestone-workflow` | Workflow run → PRs → LGTMs | User approves the run plan (mandatory) |
## Rules
- **Never skip a checkpoint.** Every stage boundary stops for the user; the pipeline is collaborative at the joints and autonomous inside them.
- Stages are re-enterable: the user can jum
