SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Decomposes PRDs and TechSpecs into detailed, independently implementable task files with codebase-informed enrichment. This workflow helps teams convert high-level requirements into concrete, executable tasks and adds implementation context derived from the codebase.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Decompose PRDs/TechSpecs into granular, independently implementable tasks with codebase-informed enrichment.
  • Spawn Agent-style explorations to locate relevant files, patterns, and conventions and surface integration points.
  • Ensure every task is self-contained with explicit dependencies and embedded tests.
  • Produce a master _tasks.md and per-task files, referencing ADRs and TechSpecs where applicable.

Quick Start

Provide a feature name and a PRD or TechSpec file to generate a detailed task breakdown.

FAQPage Schema
How do I break down a PRD into actionable development tasks?

Decomposing a PRD into actionable tasks involves creating a master _tasks.md and per-task files, enriched with codebase-derived implementation context, explicit dependencies, and embedded tests for each work item.

What is codebase-informed task decomposition for TechSpecs?

Codebase-informed task decomposition scans your codebase to locate relevant files and conventions, ensuring each generated task file contains specific integration points and architectural patterns for maintainable implementation.

How do I generate task files that reference ADRs and TechSpecs?

You can generate traceable task files by inputting your TechSpec; the system enforces a strict template structure that embeds ADR references and test cases directly into each task file for traceability.

Can I use PRD decomposition for independently implementable work items?

Yes, PRD decomposition generates granular, independently implementable work items by ensuring every task file is self-contained with explicit dependencies and embedded tests to prevent integration conflicts.

Do I need a TechSpec to create codebase-enriched task files?

You need either a PRD or a TechSpec to create codebase-enriched task files. The workflow activates whenever a specification document exists and requires breakdown into executable tasks with implementation context.

Why do generated task files need embedded tests and explicit dependencies?

Generated task files require embedded tests and explicit dependencies to guarantee traceable, testable, and maintainable work items, allowing developers to execute each self-contained task without breaking existing codebase integration.
