About sparc-methodology
sparc-methodology
SPARC development workflow: Specification, Pseudocode, Architecture, Refinement
sparc-methodology is an agent skill from the ruflo project that sets out the SPARC development workflow: Specification, Pseudocode, Architecture, Refinement and Completion. It is a structured way to approach a complex implementation so that the planning is done before the code is written. The skill says when to use it, for new features, complex implementations, architectural changes, system redesigns, integration work and unclear requirements. It also says when to skip it, for simple bug fixes, documentation updates, configuration changes, well-defined small tasks and routine maintenance, since the full method is heavier than those need. The idea is that an assistant first pins down what is needed, then designs the approach in pseudocode and the architecture, then refines the design, and finally completes and verifies the work, rather than jumping straight into code. It suits developers who have a larger change to plan and want an assistant to slow down at the start and check its reasoning as it goes. The skill is a process, so its value comes from following the steps and not from the tool itself. It passes Gen Agent Trust Hub, Socket and Snyk on skills.sh, and it has about 1,200 installs. Install it with npx skills add https://github.com/ruvnet/ruflo --skill sparc-methodology.
