SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the complex process of breaking down large project epics into manageable features and tasks, and then orchestrating their execution, ensuring a disciplined engineering workflow.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Epic to Feature Breakdown: Automatically expands an epic into a list of features.
  • Feature to Task Generation: Decomposes each feature into detailed, executable tasks with quality gates.
  • Task Execution Orchestration: Manages the sequential execution of tasks, calling other skills for implementation and review.
  • Dependency Management: Checks and synchronizes with base branches and handles blocking dependencies.
  • Use Case: When starting a new large feature, this Skill will automatically create detailed sub-tasks, assign them to an agent for coding, and manage the entire implementation lifecycle until completion.

Quick Start

Use the arc-implementing skill to break down the epic defined in epic.md into features and then execute those features.

FAQPage Schema
How do I break down large software project epics into executable tasks?

To break down large software project epics into executable tasks, you can orchestrate implementation by automatically expanding epics into features and decomposing features into detailed tasks with quality gates. This ensures a disciplined engineering workflow.

How does task execution orchestration manage dependencies for large features?

Task execution orchestration manages dependencies by checking and synchronizing with base branches while handling blocking dependencies. It calls other skills for implementation and review, managing sequential task execution until the entire feature lifecycle completes.

Can I automate feature to task generation for workflow automation projects?

Yes, you can automate feature to task generation for workflow automation projects. The orchestration process decomposes each feature into detailed, executable tasks and assigns them to an agent for coding, managing the entire implementation lifecycle automatically.

What is the best way to handle epic failure reporting and quality gates during implementation?

The best way to handle epic failure reporting and quality gates during implementation is using an orchestration workflow that manages sequential execution, enforces quality gates at the task level, and generates failure reports for epics and tasks when blocking dependencies occur.

Do I need to define an epic.md file before starting project implementation orchestration?

Yes, you need to define an epic in a file like epic.md before starting project implementation orchestration. The orchestration process reads the epic definition to automatically expand it into features and execute those features through the engineering workflow.

When should I not use automated task breakdown for software engineering projects?

You should not use automated task breakdown for software engineering projects when working on small, isolated changes that do not require dependency synchronization, quality gates, or multi-step feature decomposition into executable tasks and sequential execution orchestration.
