SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you accurately estimate the work effort required for AI agents to complete tasks defined in agent-spec Task Contracts, enabling better planning and resource allocation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Estimate Task Contracts: Analyze .spec files to provide round-based effort estimates.
  • Compare Tasks: Rank multiple specs for sprint planning based on estimated effort.
  • Risk Assessment: Identify contract elements that introduce uncertainty and affect estimates.
  • Use Case: Before starting a new sprint, use this Skill to get a clear picture of how many "rounds" of work each planned task will take, allowing you to allocate resources effectively and set realistic deadlines.

Quick Start

Use the agent-spec-estimate skill to estimate the work effort for the task contract located at 'specs/task.spec'.

Frequently Asked Questions about agent-spec-estimate

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I estimate AI agent work effort for sprint planning?▼

Estimating AI agent work effort involves analyzing agent-spec Task Contracts to provide round-based breakdowns, risk assessments, and wallclock time conversions for effective sprint planning and capacity management.

What is a round-based effort estimate in task contracts?▼

A round-based effort estimate calculates the number of work rounds an AI agent needs to complete a task contract, which is then converted into wallclock time for sprint planning and capacity management.

How do I assess risks in agent-spec Task Contracts?▼

Assessing risks in agent-spec Task Contracts requires analyzing contract elements like scenarios, decisions, and boundaries to identify factors that introduce uncertainty and affect work effort estimates.

Do I need the agent-spec CLI to estimate work effort?▼

Yes, the agent-spec CLI is required for parsing task contract elements and generating the actual work effort estimates from your spec files.

Can I compare multiple specs for sprint planning based on effort?▼

Yes, you can rank multiple task contracts based on their estimated effort, allowing you to allocate resources effectively and set realistic deadlines for your sprint planning.
