IEC 62304 Lifecycle Manager Skill
Purpose
The IEC 62304 Lifecycle Manager Skill supports medical device software lifecycle management per IEC 62304, ensuring proper classification, documentation, and maintenance of software as a medical device (SaMD) and software in medical devices (SiMD).
Capabilities
- Software safety classification (Class A, B, C)
- Software development plan template generation
- SOUP (Software of Unknown Provenance) management
- Software architecture documentation templates
- Anomaly and problem tracking
- Configuration management guidance
- Maintenance planning
- Software requirements specification templates
- Unit/integration test planning
- Release documentation
- Change control workflows
Usage Guidelines
When to Use
- Planning medical device software projects
- Classifying software safety levels
- Managing SOUP components
- Preparing for regulatory submissions
Prerequisites
- Device intended use defined
- Software scope identified
- Hazard analysis completed
- Development team resources available
Best Practices
- Classify software based on hazard analysis
- Document all SOUP with risk assessments
- Maintain comprehensive change control
- Plan maintenance activities from project start
Process Integration

Recommended Agent Skills
Expand your agent's capabilities with these related and highly-rated skills.
gsd-tools
Central utility skill for GSD operations. Provides config parsing, slug generation, timestamps, path operations, and orchestrates calls to other specialized skills. Acts as the unified entry point that the original gsd-tools.cjs provided via its lib/ modules (commands, config, core, init).
model-profile-resolution
Resolve model profile (quality/balanced/budget) at orchestration start and map agents to specific models. Enables cost/quality tradeoffs by selecting appropriate AI models for each agent role.
verification-suite
Plan structure validation, phase completeness checks, reference integrity verification, and artifact existence confirmation. Provides the structured verification layer ensuring GSD artifacts are well-formed and complete.
state-management
STATE.md reading, writing, and field-level updates. Provides cross-session state persistence via .planning/STATE.md with structured fields for current task, completed phases, blockers, decisions, and quick tasks.
git-integration
Git commit patterns, formats, and conventions for GSD methodology. Provides atomic commits per task, structured commit messages, planning file commits, branch management, and milestone tag operations.
frontmatter-parsing
YAML frontmatter parsing and manipulation for .planning/ documents. Provides read, write, update, query, and validation operations on frontmatter blocks in GSD markdown artifacts.
