SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Many teams keep feature plans, todos, and bug lists outside version control or scattered across tools, making work hard to track, review, and integrate with engineering workflows. This Skill converts planning artifacts into consistent, trackable markdown task files stored in a tasks/ directory so work is discoverable, git-friendly, and easy to review.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Export and convert TodoWrite lists or freeform feature descriptions into structured markdown files (epic, user-story, bug, issue) with YAML frontmatter.
  • Organize and index tasks with numbered, slugified filenames, an INDEX.md, and a tasks/README to enforce naming and status conventions.
  • Template-driven generation using pre-defined templates for each task type and incremental numbering to avoid collisions.
  • Use cases: convert a completed /plan-feature output into an epic plus stories, export current todo lists into tracked files, or create bug-only exports for triage.

Quick Start

Run the create-task-files skill and follow the prompts to convert a todo list or feature description into a tasks/ directory with numbered markdown files and an index.
