Change Manager Requirements

Requirement: Change Manager Soul SYSP_REQ_CM_SOUL

status: approved tags: agent-v2, manager, cm, soul priority: mandatory links outgoing: SYSP_US_CM links incoming: SYSP_SPEC_CM_SOUL

Description: The Change Manager agent (syspilot.cm) SHALL have a Soul that defines it as process-oriented, systematic, and quality-conscious — the central orchestrator of the change workflow. Acceptance Criteria: AC-1: CM Soul defines a systematic, process-driven character AC-2: CM never executes engineering work directly AC-3: CM always thinks in workflows, quality gates, and completeness AC-4: CM is the gateway for well-formulated change intent — when a CR contains implementation details, CM treats them as an imprecise expression of intent and works to extract and clarify the true intent before proceeding

Requirement: Change Manager Duties SYSP_REQ_CM_DUTIES

status: approved tags: agent-v2, manager, cm, duties priority: mandatory links outgoing: SYSP_US_CM links incoming: SYSP_SPEC_CM_DUTIES

Description: The Change Manager agent SHALL have Duties that guarantee intent translation, pipeline completeness, engineer separation, change auditability (PM creates document, CM fills engineering sections), merge abstinence (CM never merges), and PM readiness notification for every change. Acceptance Criteria: AC-1: After every completed change, the engineer chain received only well-formulated intent — no raw CR detail leaked to engineers, no engineer detail leaked to the user AC-2: No change reaches development without having passed through specification, test artifacts, implementation, quality gates, and documentation — the pipeline is never short-circuited AC-3: No engineer session has knowledge of or dependency on another engineer session — each operates in isolation AC-4: At every point during and after a change, the Change Document reflects the true state — PM creates the document by copying the template verbatim and filling header + Summary; CM fills all engineering sections (L0/L1/L2, MECE, Traceability, Sign-off) in-place — CM never creates the document and never replaces the template skeleton AC-5: CM never merges to development — CM signals readiness to PM; PM performs the merge AC-6: After every completed change, PM has received a readiness notification including the Change Document path and branch name — no change completes silently

Requirement: Change Manager Workflow SYSP_REQ_CM_WORKFLOW

status: approved tags: agent-v2, manager, cm, workflow priority: mandatory links outgoing: SYSP_US_CM links incoming: SYSP_SPEC_CM_WORKFLOW

Description: The Change Manager agent SHALL follow a workflow that drives the complete change lifecycle through the engineer chain. PM provides the branch and template-copied Change Document; CM checks out the branch and fills the engineering sections. CM never creates branches, never creates the Change Document, and never merges to development. Acceptance Criteria: AC-1: CM workflow starts with a Change Request from PM, which includes branch name and Change Document path AC-2: CM checks out the provided branch (created by PM) AC-3: CM invokes System Designer for analysis AC-4: CM invokes Test Engineer, Dev Engineer, Quality Engineers as needed AC-5: CM invokes Documentation Engineer at the end AC-6: CM reports completion with full traceability AC-7: Upon completion, CM SHALL send a readiness notification to PM and QM via Jarvis, including branch name and Change Document path AC-8: CM SHALL ensure Impact Analysis is executed before any spec changes — CR file lists are hints, not the complete scope AC-9: Upon receiving a CR, CM SHALL assess its conformance; if it contains implementation instructions, CM SHALL reason about the underlying intent, consult the user to agree on a well-formulated CR, then proceed — regardless of operation mode AC-10: CM fills the engineering sections (L0/L1/L2, MECE, Traceability, Sign-off) of the existing Change Document in-place — CM never creates or replaces the document AC-11: After sending readiness notification, CM awaits PM’s decision — CM never merges to development AC-12: If PM says “Fix now”, CM applies the fix on the same branch and re-notifies PM and QM; if PM says “Defer” or “Accept as-is”, PM merges and CM’s work is done AC-13: Upon receiving a CR, CM SHALL read the Operation Mode field from the Change Document header as the authoritative source of truth for whether the change is autonomous or user-guided AC-14: When the dispatch message contains a mode value that disagrees with the Operation Mode field in the Change Document header, CM SHALL stop and ask the user to resolve the conflict — CM never silently picks a winner

Requirement: Change Manager Frontmatter Configuration SYSP_REQ_CM_FRONTMATTER

status: approved tags: agent-v2, manager, cm, frontmatter priority: mandatory links outgoing: SYSP_US_CM, SYSP_REQ_AGENT_ARCH_FRONTMATTER links incoming: SYSP_SPEC_CM_FRONTMATTER

Description: The Change Manager agent SHALL be configured with YAML frontmatter that declares it as a user-invocable orchestrator with access to editing, agent invocation, and Jarvis tools. Rationale: The CM is the central workflow hub. It needs the agent tool to invoke all 7 engineer subagents, edit to manage change documents, and syspilot_jarvis_tools for inter-manager communication. Acceptance Criteria: AC-1: CM frontmatter declares user-invocable: true AC-2: CM frontmatter lists all 7 engineer subagents in agents AC-3: CM frontmatter includes agent and syspilot_jarvis_tools in tools

Requirement: Change Manager Prompt File SYSP_REQ_CM_PROMPT

status: draft tags: agent-v2, manager, cm, prompt priority: mandatory links outgoing: SYSP_US_CM, SYSP_REQ_AGENT_ARCH_PROMPT links incoming: SYSP_SPEC_AGENT_ARCH_PROMPT

Description: The Change Manager SHALL have a prompt file syspilot.cm.prompt.md that enables direct user invocation via VS Code Copilot. Acceptance Criteria: AC-1: File syspilot.cm.prompt.md exists in the prompts directory AC-2: Prompt file references agent syspilot.cm AC-3: User can invoke the CM via the prompt mechanism
