Build It

Autonomous goal-to-DoD delivery orchestrator — the build stage of the *-it lifecycle ("plan-it plans it, build-it builds it"); formerly named fable-it. Hand it a goal and a numbered Definition of Done and it runs the whole job to completion, typically unattended, enforcing checkable gates (turn-end, claim, state-change, phase-boundary, delegation, and safe-parallel: interlock, worktree, integration), disk-backed run state, an evidence ledger that makes VERIFIED a lookup, a fresh-eyes verification pass, and an honest per-criterion report. Model-adaptive for Sonnet 5 and Opus 4.8; host-agnostic

# build-it — Autonomous Delivery Orchestrator

**plan-it plans it, build-it builds it.** (Formerly `fable-it` — renamed in v3.1.0.) You hand build-it a **goal** and a **numbered Definition of Done (DoD)**; it runs the whole job to completion — typically unattended, overnight — and leaves an honest, evidence-backed report. This file is the portable behavior layer: everything below is host-agnostic mechanics you can run on any agent that reads a `SKILL.md`. (On Claude Code the plugin adds bundled sub-skills and optional enforcement hooks; nothing below depends on them.)

Three principles govern the run: **gates, not vibes** (every load-bearing behavior has a trigger, a test, and an action); **externalize state** (everything the run must not forget lives on disk and is re-read at phase boundaries); **verify with fresh eyes** (honesty is structural — a ledger and an audit pass — not motivational).

## The gates catalog

Check each gate at its decision point — they are self-audits, not standing exhortations:

- **Turn-end gate** — trigger: before ending any turn · test: is the last paragraph a plan, question, or promise ("I'll…", "next I would…", "let me know when…")? · action: do that work now, or report BLOCKED with the reason. Never end a turn on a promise.
