SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Arc-planned designs often stall before implementation due to lack of structured, tracked work. This skill converts an approved Arc design into ordered tracked work and hands it off to the arc-implement phase, ensuring alignment with the plan and proper dependency handling.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Read the approved Arc plan using arc plan show <plan-id> and verify plan status is approved.
  • Restate the goal, constraints, risks, and non-goals to preserve intent from brainstorm.
  • Break the design into ordered, ownership-aware tasks and establish explicit foundations when needed.
  • Create tracked work through arc-issue-tracker (epic + child issues for multi-task work or a single issue for small work) and preserve dependencies.
  • Hand the agent a manifest containing the plan reference, plan path, task list, ownership notes, and dependency expectations for verification.

Quick Start

Convert an approved Arc plan into ordered tracked work and prepare the arc-issue-tracker manifest for handoff.

FAQPage Schema
How do I convert an approved software design into tracked issues?

Converting an approved software design into tracked issues requires reading the plan, restating goals and constraints, breaking the design into ordered ownership-aware tasks, and creating tracked work through an issue tracker to ensure safe implementation handoff.

What is the best way to break down a project design into ordered tasks?

Breaking down a project design into ordered tasks involves restating goals and non-goals to preserve intent, decomposing the design into ownership-aware sequential tasks, and establishing explicit dependencies to guide the creation of tracked work for implementation.

How do I create tracked work from a design plan for safe implementation handoff?

Creating tracked work from a design plan for safe implementation handoff requires generating an issue tracker manifest containing the plan reference, task list, ownership notes, and dependency expectations to verify readiness before implementation begins.

Do I need an approved plan status before creating tracked work?

Yes, you need an approved plan status before creating tracked work. The conversion process requires reading the plan via command line to verify the plan status is approved before restating goals and breaking the design into ordered tasks.

Can I use an issue tracker to manage dependencies for multi-task software work?

Yes, you can use an issue tracker to manage dependencies for multi-task software work by creating an epic with child issues for multi-task work or a single issue for small work, preserving explicit dependencies throughout the tracked work creation process.

Why does project implementation stall after the design phase?

Project implementation stalls after the design phase due to a lack of structured, tracked work. Converting approved designs into ordered tracked work with explicit ownership and dependencies ensures alignment and proper handoff to the implementation phase.
