ES-107 Stage Manifest¶
Manifest purpose¶
This manifest is the structured contract for ES-107.
Stage identity¶
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Stage ID | ES-107 |
| Stage Name | AI-Assisted Implementation |
| Stage Family | Construction Execution |
| Stage Type | Project implementation and evidence production |
| Estimated Effort | Multiple iterations |
| Prerequisites | ES-106 — Implementation Readiness |
| Previous Stage | ES-106 — Implementation Readiness |
| Next Stage | ES-108 — Code Review and Integration |
| Primary Output | Implementation evidence package |
| Publication Status | Production-ready |
Stage mission¶
Implement bounded work items using disciplined engineering practices, controlled AI assistance, traceability, verification, and implementation evidence.
Primary engineering question¶
How can implementation proceed efficiently with AI assistance while preserving engineering judgment, traceability, verification, evidence, and accountability?
Inputs¶
| Input | Required | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Implementation readiness overview | Yes | docs/implementation/implementation_readiness_overview.md |

Outputs¶
| Output | Repository Location |
|---|---|
| Implementation log | docs/implementation/implementation_log.md |
| AI assistance log | docs/implementation/ai_assistance_log.md |
| Work item completion records | docs/implementation/work_item_completion_records.md |
| Implementation evidence | docs/implementation/implementation_evidence.md |
| Verification notes | docs/implementation/verification_notes.md |
| Implementation decision records | docs/implementation/implementation_decision_records.md |
| Implementation risk updates | docs/implementation/implementation_risk_updates.md |
| Implementation summary | docs/implementation/implementation_summary.md |
Required evidence¶
ES-107 requires work item implementation evidence, AI-use evidence where applicable, verification evidence, guardrail evidence, implementation decision evidence, risk update evidence, and transition evidence.
Completion criteria¶
ES-107 is complete when implementation increments are traceable to work items, AI use is disclosed and verified where material, verification notes exist, guardrails were checked, implementation decisions are recorded when needed, risks are updated, and ES-108 readiness is documented.
Success criteria¶
ES-107 succeeds when ES-108 can begin code review and integration without reviewers guessing what changed, why it changed, whether AI was used, or how the implementation was verified.
Risks if skipped¶
Skipping ES-107 discipline may result in uncontrolled AI-generated code, missing evidence, weak verification, design drift, access-control defects, AI-review bypasses, and review confusion.
The manifest turns implementation discipline into a stage contract: AI may assist, but engineering responsibility remains visible.
