# Product Handoff Protocol
## 1. Objective
To ensure that NO technical work begins until the Product Artifacts are **Verified**, **Approved**, and **Compiled**.
## 2. The Quality Gate
You MUST verify that the Product Director (`p03`) has signed off.
### Gate Prerequisites
Before requesting sign-off, verify:
1. **Product Score:** > 70/100 (from `skill-product-analysis`).
2. **Financials:** Positive NPV & ROI > 2.0x (from `skill-product-solution-blueprint`).
3. **Backlog:** Prioritized with WSJF.
### Verification Command
```bash
python3 [skill_path]/scripts/verify_gate.py --file docs/product/APPROVED_BACKLOG.md
```
> **Note:** `[skill_path]` is the path to this skill (e.g. `.agent/skills/skill-product-handoff`).
- **Exit Code 0:** GATE OPEN. Proceed.
- **Exit Code 1:** GATE CLOSED. Stop immediately.
### Signing Command (For p03)
```bash
python3 [skill_path]/scripts/sign_off.py --file docs/product/APPROVED_BACKLOG.md
```
## 3. BRD Compilation
Once the gate is open, you MUST compile the scattered artifacts into a single `BRD.md`.
### Compilation Command
```bash
python3 [skill_path]/scripts/compile_brd.py --market-file docs/product/MARKET_STRATEGY.md --vision-file docs/product/PRODUCT_VISION.md --blueprint-file docs/product/SOLUTION_BLUEPRINT.md --output-file docs/BRD.md
```
- **Inputs:** `MARKET_STRATEGY.md`, `PRODUCT_VISION.md`, `SOLUTION_BLUEPRINT.md`.
- **Output:** `docs/BRD.md`.
## 4. Triggering Technical Phase
After the BRD is compiled, you initiate the Technical Phase.
### Trigger Command
```bash
python3 [skill_path]/scripts/trigger_technical.py docs/BRD.md docs/TASK.md
```
- **Effect:** Creates the root `TASK.md` for the Architect/Developer agents.
## 5. Workflow Integration
This skill is primarily used by the **Orchestrator (`p00`)** or the **Handoff Workflow** to accept the final output from `p04`.
## 6. Examples
- **BRD:** `examples/example_brd.md` (Typical output structure).
- **Gate:** `examples/example_approved_backlog.md` (Showing valid Hash format).
