/vt-c-pd-route-decision

Execute design iteration routing decision based on impact analysis

Plugin: core-standards
Usage: /vt-c-pd-route-decision [--option N | --continue]

/vt-c-pd-route-decision

Execute the routing decision and transition to the appropriate design phase.

Usage

/vt-c-pd-route-decision                  # Interactive decision prompt
/vt-c-pd-route-decision --option 1       # Execute specific option from analysis
/vt-c-pd-route-decision --continue       # Continue current phase, defer items

Prerequisites

Run /vt-c-pd-analyze-changes first to generate impact analysis and options.

What It Does

  1. Presents decision options based on impact analysis
  2. Captures user's selection
  3. Updates .design-state.yaml with new state
  4. Increments iteration counter
  5. Logs decision in iteration history
  6. Resets quality gates for affected phases
  7. Launches the target phase skill

Decision Options (Typical)

  1. Return to earlier phase (recommended based on analysis)
  2. Updates state to target phase
  3. Marks artifacts for revision

  4. Cascades through subsequent phases

  5. Alternative phase (partial fix)

  6. Address subset of issues

  7. Defers remaining items

  8. Split into parallel tracks

  9. Quick fixes in one track

  10. Larger changes in separate iteration

  11. Continue current phase

  12. Defer all items to backlog
  13. Document as known limitations

  14. Proceed to next phase

  15. Manual override

  16. Specify custom routing

State Updates

  • Increments iteration counter
  • Resets quality gates for target phase and beyond
  • Version bumps affected artifacts
  • Clears processed inbox items
  • Logs decision in history

After Routing

Automatically launches the target phase: - /vt-c-pd-1-research - If user research invalidated - /vt-c-pd-2-prd - If scope/requirements changed - /vt-c-pd-3-prototype - If UI/UX issues found - Continue current phase if deferring
