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

1. RFC intake
2. DAG decomposition
3. Unit assignment
4. Unit implementation
5. Unit validation
6. Merge queue and integration
7. 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

1. research
2. implementation plan
3. implementation
4. tests
5. review
6. 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
