Engineering Sprint Protocol 100% Verifiable Git & CI Provenance

R&D Workforce — What a new subscriber sends to compose their software engineering team

Welcome to R&D Workforce. Every number, commit, test result, and velocity score is cryptographically tracked and transparently audited. Subscribers know the exact origin, collection frequency, calculation formula, and database table for every single data point in their delivery reports.

Step 1 · Intake 🔍 Inspect
Send 4 Artifacts

Step 2 · 09:00 PST 🔍 Inspect
AI Plans Daily Tasks
AI decomposes backlog into 4h–8h tasks with three-way hour agreements.
Step 3 · Daytime 🔍 Inspect
Engineers Execute
Assigned engineers write code, link PRs, and run automated CI test suites.
Step 4 · 18:00 PST 🔍 Inspect
AI Audits & Reports
Automated delivery report sent to your inbox with live velocity & commit diffs.

📦 1 · The 4 Artifacts to Send to Compose Your R&D Team

Click any item for telemetry source

To activate your autonomous sprint team, submit these 4 artifacts through the onboarding portal:

🐙
1. Git Repository Access
GitHub · GitLab · Bitbucket
Grant read/write access to your codebase so assigned senior engineers and the AI verification engine can open atomic branches, author PRs, and inspect test suites.
  • Invite collaborator: @kbot-dev or @antigravity
  • Specify base branch: e.g. main or develop
  • Provide automated CI command: e.g. npm test, pytest, cargo test
📋
2. Task Backlog / Sprint Scope
Prompt · Jira/Linear Export · Notion
Provide your current roadmap, bug backlog, or high-level product specifications. The AI Daily Planner ingests these and decomposes them into daily tasks.
  • Upload CSV/JSON export from Linear, Jira, or GitHub Issues
  • Or paste a freeform Markdown product requirements document (PRD)
  • AI auto-assigns P0 / P1 / P2 priority tags and estimated hours
🔐
3. Staging Secrets & Environment
Zero-Leak KMS & Vault
Provide sandbox/staging credentials necessary for engineers to run integration tests locally. Secrets are stored in encrypted vaults and never committed to Git.
  • Staging Stripe / Payment sandbox keys
  • Development database connection string or seed fixture
  • Transactional email / Webhook testing endpoints
📡
4. Notification & Daily Report Route
Zoom · Email · Slack Webhook
Choose where your executive team receives daily delivery summaries, blocker escalation notices, and weekly KPI rollups.
  • Zoom Workforce channel ID or direct bot bridge
  • Subscriber notification email (Zoho, Google Workspace, etc.)
  • Optional Slack / Discord webhook URL

🔬 2 · R&D Data Dictionary: Where Every Metric Comes From

10 Core Velocity & Delivery Telemetries

Every field reported to management is backed by raw verifiable system logs. Click [🔍 View Origin] to view the exact derivation formula and audit table:

Metric / Data Field Physical Source of Truth Collection Method & Cadence Mathematical Derivation Formula Action
⏱️ Active Work Time
 Task Timer & Editor Heartbeats Every 30s background ping + task events Sum(session_end - session_start)
🚀 AI Task Velocity (Δ)
 3-Way Signed Hours vs Task Timers Calculated at 18:00 PST daily report generation Δ = actual_hours / required_hours ≤ 1.0
🐙 Commit SHAs & Diffs
 GitHub / GitLab Webhook API Real-time on push to linked branch git log --numstat --since=00:00
🧪 Automated CI Pass Rate
 CI/CD Runner Logs & JUnit XML On every PR commit push + scheduled run passed_tests / total_tests_run × 100%
🔀 PR Review Cycle Time
 GitHub Pull Request Timestamps On PR creation, review submit, and merge pr_merged_at - pr_opened_at (hours)
♻️ Code Churn & Rework
 Git Diff Line Modifications Daily rollup comparing modified lines in past 14d reworked_lines / total_added_lines × 100%
🛡️ Defect Escape Rate
 Production Bug & Sentry Tickets Aggregated weekly across production releases prod_bugs / (qa_defects + prod_bugs) × 100%
🏅 Medallion Daily Score
 Weighted Composite Engine Daily at 18:00 PST (0–100 Scale) (0.50 × Time_KPI + 0.50 × Velocity_KPI) × 100

🤖 4 · R&D AI-Helper Governance & Operating Guide

Autonomous Engineer Assistant

The R&D AI-Helper runs inside the developer workspace (VSCode / IntelliJ) to automate sprint planning, track focus time without intrusive surveillance, and trigger automated CI runs.

⏱️ Cryptographic Focus & Time Tracking

Tracks genuine focus windows via editor heartbeats and binds every hour to a signed Git commit SHA. Eliminates manual timesheet filling.

🧪 Automated CI & Velocity Scoring

Executes your test command (npm test) on every PR branch and compiles the 18:00 PST Medallion score (50% Time + 50% Velocity).
