SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill eliminates the guesswork of selecting the right development workflow for a given task, preventing wasted time on overkill processes for small changes or underpreparation for large, high-risk work.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Standardized Complexity Classification: Uses a 5-point checklist (scope, ambiguity, risk, solution approaches, existing patterns) to categorize tasks as QUICK, STANDARD, or DEEP.
  • Clear Actionable Guidance: Provides specific workflow recommendations for each complexity tier, including when to use worktree isolation or user checkpoints.
  • Use Case: When you are assigned a new bug fix or feature request, use this Skill first to determine if you can skip planning and implement immediately, run the full standard deep loop, or add extra user validation steps for high-risk work.

Quick Start

Use the deep-triage skill to assess the complexity of the task of adding password reset functionality to the user authentication system.

FAQPage Schema
How do I determine the right development workflow for a new software task?▼

To determine the right development workflow, use a standardized task triage checklist assessing scope, ambiguity, risk, solution approaches, and existing patterns to classify complexity into QUICK, STANDARD, or DEEP tiers.

When should I use a deep development loop instead of immediate implementation?▼

You should use a deep development loop for large architectural overhauls or high-risk code changes that require extra user validation steps and worktree isolation, rather than immediate implementation for small bug fixes.

What is task complexity classification in software development?▼

Task complexity classification in software development is the process of categorizing bug fixes or feature requests into distinct tiers to match them with appropriate execution workflows and validation levels.

Does TDD workflow selection require a standardized code assessment framework?▼

TDD workflow selection benefits from a standardized code assessment framework that eliminates guesswork, ensuring you apply the correct level of planning, isolation, and validation for each specific task.

What are the limitations of using a 5-point checklist for task triage?▼

A 5-point checklist for task triage provides standardized complexity classification but may not capture nuanced project-specific dependencies, requiring manual adjustment for unique architectural constraints.
