des-implementation-plan

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents agents from jumping into coding too early by converting ready story task breakdowns into a dependency-aware implementation execution plan with checkpoints, validation order, and clear handoff guidance.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Implementation planning from readiness artifacts: Uses sprint plan, story readiness report, and dev task breakdown to select only ready stories/tasks and sequence them safely.
• Dependency-aware sequencing and phase grouping: Orders tasks by dependencies, identifies safe parallelization opportunities, and structures work into implementation phases.
• Built-in validation, quality/contract/security gates, and CI/CD timing: Defines when tests and gates run, plus documentation/metadata/status update points.
• Coding-agent handoff without writing code: Produces a handoff prompt and explicitly avoids scheduling blocked work as executable actions.

Quick Start

Use des-implementation-plan to generate _des-output/implementation-artifacts/implementation-plan.md from your existing _des-output/implementation-artifacts/dev-task-breakdown.md and related readiness artifacts.
