fid-lifecycle

fid-lifecycle is a skill for Claude Code from olehsvyrydov/AI-development-team. It costs 103 tokens per session (1,402 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow and record-keeping skill for moving work from a backlog to completed tickets. A backlog is a list of work not yet scheduled; an FID is the single record for a larger feature or investigation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when taking backlog items into investigation, creating feature records and Jira epics, adding related tickets, and closing obsolete duplicate records as work progresses.
Why use it?
It prevents the same work from being described in several places that later disagree. It also makes each transition, decision, and completion status explicit.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

fid-lifecycle scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured today.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

FID lifecycle — the bookkeeping that keeps the board honest

The pipeline is Backlog → Investigation (if needed) → FID (epic) → Jira tickets → To Do → Implementation → review → approval → merge. This skill is not the process; it is the hygiene that stops the process rotting into several disagreeing records.

One principle underneath all of it: every fact lives in exactly one place, and moving work forward means moving the record, not copying it.

Taking an item off the Backlog

The Backlog holds problems, not solutions, including the founder's own running notes. When you pick one up:

  1. Decide, explicitly, which path it takes: straight to a ticket (small and obvious), investigation (approach or cost unclear), or parked with a stated trigger — and if parked, name the condition that would un-park it. "Not scheduled" with no trigger is how an item sits for weeks while the thing it was waiting for was itself abandoned.
  2. When the FID exists, delete the Backlog item. Do not leave both. A Backlog entry whose work has moved on is litter, and worse, it is a second description of the same thing that will drift. Replace it with nothing — the FID is now the record. If the Backlog page held context the FID does not, move that context into the FID first, then delete.
  3. If an investigation concludes "do not build", the Backlog item still goes — but record the decision and its reasoning on the FID or investigation page. A killed idea is a valuable artifact; an undeleted Backlog entry is not.

Creating a FID and its epic

A FID is the Confluence page (behavioural intent, invariants, kill conditions). Its Jira epic is the tracking mirror.

  • Create one Jira epic per FID, titled so the numbering corresponds — FID-7 — <short name>. The correspondence must be visible in the title; do not rely on people remembering which epic is which FID.
  • Link both ways: the FID page links to the epic; the epic's description links to the FID page. Either one found alone should lead to the other.
  • Every ticket carved from the FID takes that epic as its parent. No orphan tickets — a ticket without an epic is invisible to the FID's progress and will be forgotten or duplicated.
