What problem does it solve?
This Skill addresses the complexity of breaking down large, multi-component architectural changes into manageable, safe, and executable tasks, ensuring dependencies are respected and changes are rolled out systematically.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Architectural Decomposition: Safely breaks down large commands that span multiple layers and components based on dependency analysis.
- Phased Execution: Organizes tasks into 'Concrete' (immediately executable) and 'Deferred' (dependent on previous phases) stages.
- Wave Grouping: Groups parallelizable tasks within phases into 'Waves' for efficient execution.
- Persona Delegation: Defines a clear sequence of personas (researcher, architect, implementer, QA) for progressive task handling.
- Use Case: When planning a major refactor of a microservice that affects the database, API, and frontend, this Skill helps define the precise order of operations, from schema changes to API updates, ensuring a smooth transition.
Quick Start
