ES-106 Outputs

Purpose

This page defines the outputs produced by ES-106 and how they support ES-107.

Required outputs

docs/implementation/implementation_readiness_overview.md
docs/implementation/branch_and_workflow_plan.md
docs/implementation/implementation_work_items.md
docs/implementation/implementation_guardrails.md
docs/implementation/ai_use_plan.md
docs/implementation/verification_precheck.md
docs/implementation/repository_readiness_check.md
docs/implementation/implementation_review_plan.md
docs/implementation/implementation_readiness_summary.md

Output purposes

Output Purpose Downstream Use
Implementation readiness overview Establishes readiness context. ES-107 implementation
Branch and workflow plan Defines branch, commit, PR, and review workflow. Repository execution
Implementation work items Defines traceable coding units. Implementation tracking
Implementation guardrails Defines boundaries not to bypass. Code review and verification
AI-use plan Defines AI assistance and verification expectations. AI-assisted implementation
Verification precheck Defines tests and checks before implementation. Testing and review
Repository readiness check Confirms repository state. Implementation start
Implementation review plan Defines review expectations. PR/code review
Implementation readiness summary States ES-107 readiness. Implementation transition

Optional outputs

docs/implementation/initial_backlog.md
docs/implementation/setup_notes.md
docs/implementation/local_dev_environment.md
docs/implementation/ai_prompting_notes.md
docs/implementation/open_implementation_questions.md

Create optional outputs only when they clarify real readiness evidence.

Output quality checklist

Confirm every required artifact exists, work items are traceable, branch workflow is clear, guardrails are explicit, AI-use plan exists, verification precheck exists, repository readiness is checked, implementation review expectations are clear, and readiness for ES-107 is documented.

Common pitfall

Do not treat “we can start coding” as evidence. Write down why implementation can begin and what controls the work.

Engineering insight

The readiness package is the handoff from design intent to controlled implementation.
