SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill transforms high-level product specifications into detailed, build-ready work items, ensuring a clear and manageable development pipeline.

Core Features & Use Cases

Spec Decomposition: Breaks down large epics into granular tasks with clear acceptance criteria and implementation approaches.
Backlog Grooming: Audits and maintains the health of existing work items, identifying stale or vague tasks.
Ad-hoc Capture: Quickly creates new work items for deferred tasks or technical debt.
Use Case: When presented with a complex feature epic, use this Skill to generate a series of well-defined tasks that developers can pick up and complete independently, ensuring all necessary steps are accounted for before development begins.

Quick Start

Use the backlog skill to decompose spec epic #8 into work items via PlanMode.

FAQPage Schema

How do I decompose a product spec into actionable development tasks?▼

To decompose a product spec into actionable tasks, this Skill uses a PlanMode exploration to break down large epics into granular work items with clear acceptance criteria and implementation approaches. It transforms high-level specifications into a build-ready development pipeline.

What is backlog grooming and how does it identify stale work items?▼

Backlog grooming is the process of auditing and maintaining the health of existing work items. It identifies stale or vague tasks within your product backlog to ensure only clearly defined, `ready` labeled items proceed to the build stage.

Can I manage cross-repo backlog items using a global queue?▼

Yes, you can manage cross-repo backlogs using a global queue. This Skill supports cross-repo backlog management by capturing ad-hoc work, tracking technical debt, and integrating with GitHub issues for relationship tracking across repositories.

Does backlog management integrate with GitHub issues for relationship tracking?▼

Yes, backlog management integrates directly with GitHub issues for relationship tracking. This allows you to maintain links between decomposed tasks and existing issue dependencies during spec decomposition and grooming.

What is the best way to capture ad-hoc work and technical debt in agile development?▼

The best way to capture ad-hoc work and technical debt is through targeted backlog item creation. This Skill quickly generates new work items for deferred tasks, ensuring all necessary steps are accounted for before development begins.

Do I need a `ready` label to proceed to the build stage?▼

Yes, work items require a `ready` label to proceed to the build stage. This ensures that only groomed tasks with clear acceptance criteria and implementation approaches move forward in the agile development pipeline.
