About
Where ScrumIA comes from, the premise it runs on, and what it deliberately leaves for you to decide.
Origin
ScrumIA comes out of six months building with Claude Code and BMAD, on personal projects. It is maintained by tibs245.
BMAD supplied the foundations that are still here: a modular base, versioned installs, and tooling kept separate from the projects that consume it.
Starting premise
There is no single right way to run a project with an AI. What works on a five-app monorepo doesn't work on a personal script; what suits a regulated team doesn't suit a weekend prototype.
A method that answers every question at once has to be taken whole or left. In practice it gets taken, adapted, drifts, and ends as a fork that stops receiving updates.
ScrumIA separates the questions and gives each one a replaceable module. The reusable part is the composition, not the answers put into it.
What this does not claim
- That these boundaries between slots are the right ones for everyone
- That a per-feature file catalogue beats other spec formats
- That this set of roles is the right one
- That state must live outside the repository
Each of those is a choice made for a context, documented with its alternatives in the architecture decision records. A module-level decision is contested by writing another module, not by arguing about this one.
Status
| Item | State |
|---|---|
| Architecture and decisions | Settled — 14 ADRs |
| Twelve modules, 33 skills | Functional, validated, loaded |
| Implementation modules (Rust, SolidJS) | Built, with audit skills |
| Cross-cutting modules (TDD, SOLID) | Built — reference, audit, refactor |
| Design module | Built — shipping the redesigned site |
| Real-project use | Not yet — a pilot is next |
| Rules hierarchy (ADR-0011) | Adopted — modules restructured |
As long as a single module fills a slot, nothing proves that slot is genuinely replaceable. Writing a second tracker module — even a minimal file-based one — would tell us more than adding another implementation module.
