SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Planning conversations often stagnate or lose decisions. This skill converts planning context into a structured, self-contained spec folder that can be handed to agents for parallel implementation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automates conversion of planning conversations into a feature spec folder with waves and per-task files.
  • Produces self-contained task files that can be implemented independently by agents in parallel.
  • Generates a real-world example: after planning, run the skill to generate specs under specs/{feature}/ for parallel implementation.

Quick Start

Say "create spec" during planning to generate a ready-to-implement specs/{feature}/ folder.

FAQPage Schema
How do I convert planning conversations into structured task files for implementation?

This skill automates converting planning conversations into a structured spec folder with self-contained task files. It captures all decisions, requirements, and constraints from your planning session for easy handoff to implementation agents.

How do I generate parallelizable work items from a feature planning session?

You generate parallelizable work items by running this skill during a feature planning session. It decomposes features into independent, self-contained task files organized into waves within a structured spec folder for parallel implementation.

What is a self-contained task file and why is it needed for parallel implementation?

A self-contained task file captures all decisions, requirements, and constraints for a single work item independently. It is needed for parallel implementation because it allows automated agents to execute tasks without relying on external context.

Can I automate feature specification generation for multiple parallel agents?

Yes, you can automate feature specification generation for multiple parallel agents. The skill produces a structured spec folder where each task file is designed to be implemented independently by agents working simultaneously.

How do I start generating a feature spec folder from my current planning context?

To start generating a feature spec folder, simply say "create spec" during your planning conversation. The skill processes the context and generates a ready-to-implement specs/{feature}/ directory containing your task files.

When should I avoid using automated spec generation for task decomposition?

You should avoid using automated spec generation when your planning session lacks decomposed features or defined decisions and constraints. The skill requires an existing planning context containing parallelizable work items to produce effective task files.
