PRISM Capability¶

Part of the PRISM ecosystem. Defines capability stacks with layers, capabilities, and maturity integration.

Overview¶

PRISM Capability defines what capabilities exist in an organization's technology landscape. It integrates with prism-intelligence to track maturity levels and prism-roadmap for improvement roadmaps.

Key Features¶

Capability Stack Definition: JSON-based specification for organizational capabilities
Layered Architecture: Organize capabilities by technology layer (infrastructure, platform, application)
Priority Framework: Tier capabilities by business criticality (Existential, Critical, Strategic, Enhancement)
Dynamic Priority: Calculate P0-P3 priorities from importance weights and maturity gaps
Validation: Comprehensive validation with dependency cycle detection
Rendering: Generate D2 diagrams, static HTML, and interactive Lit web components
Overlays: External modules can inject display data (badges, tooltips) into renderers

Quick Start¶

# Install CLI
go install github.com/grokify/prism-capability/cmd/capstack@latest

# Validate a capability stack
capstack validate my-stack.json

# Render as HTML
capstack render my-stack.json --format html --output stack.html

# List capabilities filtered by status
capstack list my-stack.json --status operational
