SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Convert a design document into an actionable, end-to-end work plan that can be executed by Claude or an agent, including branch setup, codebase investigation, milestone planning, and execution handoff.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Orchestrates the entire workflow from design to execution by coordinating sub-skills and agents.
  • Handles mandatory milestones review and phased planning with optional batch or interactive modes.
  • Tracks tasks across phases, supports disk persistence, and enables clean handoff to execution.

Quick Start

Provide the design document path and your milestone planning preference, then I will generate and save the work plan.

FAQPage Schema
How do I convert a design document into an executable work plan?▼

To convert a design document into an executable work plan, provide the design document path and your milestone planning preference. The system orchestrates codebase investigation, branch setup, and milestone planning to generate a persistent, actionable plan.

What is the best way to orchestrate design-to-execution workflows with milestone planning?▼

Orchestrating design-to-execution workflows requires coordinating sub-skills across phases. This approach enforces mandatory milestone reviews, sequences tasks from design to handoff, and supports both batch and interactive planning modes.

Can I use batch mode for milestone planning and execution handoff?▼

Yes, you can use batch mode for milestone planning alongside the interactive mode. The workflow tracks tasks across phases and enables clean execution handoff to agents.

Does the work plan generation handle branch setup and codebase investigation?▼

Yes, work plan generation handles both branch setup and codebase investigation. It coordinates these steps across the entire lifecycle from design to execution handoff within the phased plan.

How does persistent plan storage work for work plan recoverability?▼

Persistent plan storage saves the generated work plan to disk, ensuring recoverability. This guarantees that tasks tracked across phases remain accessible for execution handoff and review.

When do I need a mandatory milestone review in a work plan?▼

A mandatory milestone review is needed during work plan generation to validate phased planning. It enforces structural integrity before execution handoff, ensuring all milestone criteria are met.
