Coupling Analysis

What problem does it solve?

This Skill determines whether development tasks are tightly or loosely coupled, enabling optimal OpenSpec proposal strategies and maximizing parallelization. It prevents inefficient sequential development and reduces merge conflicts, accelerating project timelines.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Automated Coupling Detection: Analyzes task descriptions, file paths, and shared resources to classify tasks as tightly or loosely coupled.
• Optimized Proposal Strategy: Recommends whether to create one OpenSpec proposal per task (tightly coupled) or one per subtask (loosely coupled) for maximum efficiency.
• Parallelization Benefit Calculation: Quantifies the time savings achievable by implementing loosely coupled tasks in parallel (e.g., "3x faster!").
• Use Case: Before starting the specification phase, use this skill to understand the inherent dependencies between your tasks, allowing you to strategically plan for parallel development and accelerate your project timeline.

Quick Start

Perform a coupling analysis on the current tasks.json to identify parallelization opportunities.
