FAQPage Schema

How do I generate a structured feature spec from a backlog item?▼

The skill orchestrates scope assessment and spec routing to transform your backlog item input into a structured feature spec. It then coordinates plan generation and review to prepare for execution.

What is tier routing in software planning workflows?▼

Tier routing directs scope assessment and spec generation to appropriate processing levels within a planning workflow. It handles tier selection and applies expert-debate gating when needed to ensure plan quality.

How do I start end-to-end planning for a new feature idea?▼

Describe your idea or backlog item to initiate the end-to-end planning workflow. The pipeline persists user preferences from local workflow files to guide decisions and avoid redundant prompts during plan generation.

Can I chain plan generation directly into issue tracking and execution?▼

Yes, the workflow integrates with downstream arn-code skills and can create issues to start implementation. It can also chain directly to arn-implementing after completing plan review and gating.

Does plan generation work with local workflow preference files?▼

Yes, plan generation reads preferences from local workflow files to guide decisions. This context persistence of user preferences ensures the planning workflow avoids redundant prompts during scope assessment and spec routing.

When should I use expert-debate gating in a plan review process?▼

Use expert-debate gating when a plan review requires deeper validation before execution. The workflow handles this gating automatically during tier selection when needed to ensure the generated plan meets quality standards.
