Engineering workflow / Setsumei

Use codebase insight to choose the next engineering action.

Start from the local brief, relevant dependencies and prioritized candidates. Investigate selected candidates, decide what to change, and focus verification on the important paths. Reuse and refresh the analysis as work continues.

The decision path

Example: plan a refactor around a shared routing component.

ILLUSTRATIVE TEAM WORKFLOW · SETSUMEI INFORMS; YOUR TEAM DECIDES

  1. PROPOSE

    Start with an edit

    You plan to change a routing component. Use the brief or an MCP query to orient to its role.

  2. TRACE

    Inspect dependencies

    Trace callers, dependencies and important paths. Check unresolved relationships before setting the review scope.

  3. CHECK

    Review candidates

    Inspect nearby findings and source. Optionally investigate selected candidates; decide what needs action or further evidence.

  4. VERIFY

    Change, test, refresh

    Record the chosen action, make and verify the edit, then refresh analysis after relevant changes.

What remains after review

Keep the evidence and action together.

Keep the selected evidence, open questions, owner and verification work in your team’s existing review tools. This illustrative checklist describes a useful team practice; it does not imply automatic work-tracker synchronization or shared decision-history storage in Setsumei.

ILLUSTRATIVE REVIEW CHECKLIST
01 / BRIEF Question + proposed action status: accepted | revised | rejected
02 / ACTION QUEUE Owner + sequence + priority supporting evidence + next action
03 / EVIDENCE Source + paths + confidence source state + analysis run + freshness
04 / INVESTIGATION Outcome + reason, when run investigation run + available evidence
