SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill converts vague project goals and PRD bullets into well-defined, actionable tasks that engineers can implement without back-and-forth clarification.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured task templates with deliverables, context, and decisions
  • Acceptance criteria written as Given-When-Then and edge-case coverage
  • SPIDR-based splitting guidance to ensure vertical slices
  • INVEST-compliant sizing checks to keep tasks under one day

Quick Start

Provide a PRD excerpt or user story and ask the skill to generate a compact, vertical task breakdown. Example: "Create tasks for the signup flow based on the PRD section 'User Onboarding'."

FAQPage Schema
How do I convert vague PRD bullets into actionable engineering tasks?

To convert vague PRD bullets into actionable engineering tasks, provide your project goals to generate a structured template with deliverables, context, acceptance criteria, and a verification plan. This ensures engineers can implement requirements without back-and-forth clarification.

What is the best way to write acceptance criteria using Given-When-Then for feature scoping?

Writing acceptance criteria using Given-When-Then for feature scoping involves generating structured task templates that include edge-case coverage and verification plans. This approach validates vertical scope and task size to ensure requirements are testable and clearly defined.

How can I check if my user stories are INVEST-compliant for sprint planning?

Checking if user stories are INVEST-compliant for sprint planning requires applying INVEST-compliant sizing checks to your tasks. This validates that each task remains under one day and maintains a vertical slice, ensuring your sprint backlog is properly scoped and actionable.

When do I need SPIDR-based splitting guidance for requirement-to-task conversion?

You need SPIDR-based splitting guidance for requirement-to-task conversion when vague project goals must be broken down into well-defined, vertical slices. This ensures your feature scoping produces compact, actionable tasks that engineering teams can implement independently.

Does tasking work with example mapping for sprint planning and feature breakdown?

Tasking works with example mapping for sprint planning by applying structured task templates and SPIDR-based splitting guidance to your examples. This integration converts mapped examples into INVEST-compliant tasks with clear deliverables and Given-When-Then acceptance criteria.
