TAS Kit

TAS Kit - Turbo Agentic SDLC toolkit for modern AI-first software teams.

Purpose

TAS Kit helps software development teams:

• Standardize SDLC process with clear artifacts (PRD, SAD, ADR, Epic, Feature, Story)
• Optimize token usage through Context Layer — invest in design phase, save in code phase
• Support multiple workflows: from solo developer to full team with PE/SE/DSE roles
• Automate with Hybrid and Autonomous agents operating 24/7

Design Philosophy

Spec-Driven Development

All code starts from spec. Story.md is "context digest" that has absorbed all information from PRD, SAD, ADR, Feature. Each implementation session only needs to read CLAUDE.md + Story.md — no need to reload all artifacts.

Human-Led, AI-Powered

• Human-led: Architecture decisions, design approval, code review
• AI-assisted: Draft creation, implementation per spec, test execution, bug detection

Dual Mode Operation

• Hybrid Mode: Developer and AI work together in session
• Autonomous Mode: AI automatically develops 24/7, reports results when done

Lightweight & Context-Aware

• Each skill < 3KB, total kit < 50KB
• Context Layer: invest tokens in design phase to save many times in code phase
• When coding: MUST start new session (don't reuse old session that loaded PRD/SAD to avoid Window Context bloat)

Role-Based & Template-Driven

• 3 roles: PE (Product Engineer), SE (Software Engineer), DSE (DevOps Engineer)
• Separate templates for PRD, SAD, ADR, Epic, Feature, Story per team standards
• Flow configurable via tas.yaml file

Azure DevOps Compatible

• Markdown output compatible with Azure DevOps Wiki
• Mermaid diagrams don't use () characters (avoid conflict with ADO syntax)
