Ralphinho RFC Pipeline

Inspired by humanplane style RFC decomposition patterns and multi-unit orchestration workflows.

Use this skill when a feature is too large for a single agent pass and must be split into independently verifiable work units.

Pipeline Stages

• RFC intake
• DAG decomposition
• Unit assignment
• Unit implementation
• Unit validation
• Merge queue and integration
• Final system verification

Unit Spec Template

Each work unit should include:

• id
• depends_on
• scope
• acceptance_tests
• risk_level
• rollback_plan

Complexity Tiers

• Tier 1: isolated file edits, deterministic tests
• Tier 2: multi-file behavior changes, moderate integration risk
• Tier 3: schema/auth/perf/security changes

Quality Pipeline per Unit

• research
• implementation plan
• implementation
• tests
• review
• merge-ready report

Merge Queue Rules

• Never merge a unit with unresolved dependency failures.
• Always rebase unit branches on latest integration branch.
• Re-run integration tests after each queued merge.

Recovery

If a unit stalls:

• evict from active queue
• snapshot findings
• regenerate narrowed unit scope
• retry with updated constraints

Outputs

• RFC execution log
• unit scorecards
• dependency graph snapshot
• integration risk summary
