SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps teams plan maintenance work by exploring scope, assessing impact, and choosing an implementation path so changes are safe, well-scoped, and verifiable.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Clarify intent with Feynman Echo: restate the requested maintenance in simple language and ask for confirmation.
  • Investigate the codebase: map relevant architecture, integration points, and hidden complexity.
  • Compare implementation options: brainstorm approaches, sketch tradeoffs, and recommend a path when asked.
  • Risk and test planning: surface risks, unknowns, and propose unit/integration test strategies and verifiable checks.
  • Operational guardrails: requires loading the shared explore mode for stance, verification, workflow, and subagent protocols.
  • Deliverables: optional spec creation, ASCII diagrams for visualization, and a Zero-Fog checklist to make verification objective.

Quick Start

Invoke the chore skill after loading the shared explore mode and ask it to scope the planned maintenance, list affected files and dependencies, and recommend a test and rollout strategy.

Frequently Asked Questions about chore

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I plan codebase maintenance and assess the impact of a refactor?▼

Plan codebase maintenance by mapping relevant architecture and integration points to assess impact, surface risks, and produce a verifiable test and rollout checklist. This ensures refactors are well-scoped and safe before implementation begins.

What is the best way to scope infrastructure updates and identify hidden complexity?▼

Scoping infrastructure updates requires mapping integration points and hidden complexity within the codebase. Compare implementation options, sketch tradeoffs, and generate a rollout checklist to make verification objective and safe.

How does risk assessment work when planning operational tasks?▼

Risk assessment for operational tasks works by investigating the codebase to surface risks and unknowns, then proposing unit and integration test strategies. This process produces verifiable checks and operational guardrails for safe deployment.

Can I generate a spec for a maintenance task without writing code first?▼

You can generate an optional spec for maintenance work by clarifying intent and investigating the codebase. The process maps architecture and recommends an implementation path with a Zero-Fog checklist without requiring prior code changes.

Do I need to load a shared explore mode to use this maintenance planning workflow?▼

Loading the shared explore mode is required to use this maintenance planning workflow. It provides the necessary stance, verification, workflow, and subagent protocols to assess risks and produce objective operational guardrails.
