Preflight Requirements (v1.10.0)

🚨 CRITICAL: Load and internalize these requirements BEFORE executing any preflight steps.

MANDATORY Sequence (NO EXCEPTIONS)

Steps 1-3 MUST be completed IN ORDER using the Python helper BEFORE proceeding to steps 4-7:

Step 1-2: Request and parse epic(s) → scripts/story-automator parse-epic
Step 3: Parse ALL stories with complexity scoring → scripts/story-automator parse-story --rules
GATE: Verify stories_json is populated with programmatic complexity data
Step 4: Display Complexity Matrix (from step 3 data)
Steps 5-7: Custom instructions, agent config, execution settings

🛑 FORBIDDEN PATTERNS

❌ NEVER skip step 3 (complexity scoring)
❌ NEVER manually assess complexity by reading epic/story content
❌ NEVER proceed to agent configuration without displaying the Complexity Matrix
❌ NEVER guess complexity levels - they MUST come from parse-story --rules
❌ NEVER create state document without stories_json containing complexity data

✅ REQUIRED Verification

Before step 5 (Configure Agent), you MUST have:

stories_json variable populated with complexity data from Python helper
Complexity Matrix displayed to user showing all stories with levels/scores
User has seen the complexity breakdown before being asked about agents

Why This Matters

Without programmatic complexity scoring:

Agent configuration cannot be informed by actual story difficulty
User cannot make informed decisions about which agents to use
The orchestration may fail or produce suboptimal results

The Python helper (scripts/story-automator parse-story --rules) applies consistent, deterministic rules from data/complexity-rules.json to score each story. This data MUST be gathered before agent configuration.

Complexity Matrix Display Template

After gathering complexity data, you MUST display:

**Story Complexity Matrix**

| Story | Title | Score | Level | Reasons |
|-------|-------|-------|-------|---------|
| {storyId} | {title} | {score} | {level} | {reasons or "-"} |
...

**Summary:**
- Low: {count} stories
- Medium: {count} stories
- High: {count} stories

Verification Gate (Step 3d)

Before proceeding to step 4 (Custom Instructions), verify:

stories_json contains complexity data for ALL selected stories
Complexity Matrix has been displayed to user
If either is missing, DO NOT PROCEED - re-run step 3
