HVE Guide
Overview
The HVE Guide combines two complementary perspectives on AI-assisted engineering: the project lifecycle that defines what happens at each stage of delivery, and the role guides that define how each team member participates. Together, they provide a complete map of HVE Core tooling organized by both workflow stage and team responsibility.
Sections
AI-Assisted Project Lifecycle
A 9-stage lifecycle from initial setup through ongoing operations, with AI-assisted tooling at each stage. Every stage maps to specific agents, prompts, instructions, and skills that accelerate your work.
TIP
Design Thinking can feed into this lifecycle at three exit points. See the DT-RPI integration guide for details.
| Stage | Name | Key Tools |
|---|---|---|
| Stage 1 | Setup | hve-core-installer |
| Stage 2 | Discovery | task-researcher, brd-builder, security-plan-creator, dt-coach |
| Stage 3 | Product Definition | prd-builder, product-manager-advisor, adr-creation, arch-diagram-builder |
| Stage 4 | Decomposition | ado-prd-to-wit, github-backlog-manager |
| Stage 5 | Sprint Planning | github-backlog-manager, agile-coach |
| Stage 6 | Implementation | task-researcher, task-planner, task-implementor, task-reviewer, rpi-agent, prompt-builder, coding-standards |
| Stage 7 | Review | task-reviewer, pr-review |
| Stage 8 | Delivery | pull-request, git-commit, git-merge, ado-get-build-info |
| Stage 9 | Operations | doc-ops, doc-ops-update, incident-response |
Cross-cutting: memory is available at every stage and is not tied to any single phase.
