SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Converts exploration run output into structured, reviewable engineering tickets or product user stories so teams do not have to manually translate reports and screenshots into implementable work items. It preserves traceability to the exploration report, ensures acceptance criteria and verification steps are included, and supports resumable workflows to avoid duplicated effort.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Read Explore App Settings from .claude/skill-config.md and locate the exploration output directory.
  • Parse the progress log and plan (ticket or story mode), then flesh out selected items into formatted markdown tickets or user stories with context, API/data notes, design tokens, and references.
  • Support selective detailing by ID, ranges, or "all", resume interrupted work, present a post-generation review summary, and track revision counts in PROGRESS.md.
  • Use case: After crawling an app with /explore-app, run this Skill to produce engineering-ready tickets for prioritized screens, complete with screenshots, selectors, acceptance criteria, and verification instructions.

Quick Start

Detail the plan items EX-01 through EX-05 into tickets and save them into the exploration output directory.

FAQPage Schema
How do I convert exploration reports into implementable user stories and tickets?

To convert exploration reports into implementable user stories and tickets, use a detailing tool that parses plan files and progress logs, then generates formatted markdown items with context, API notes, and acceptance criteria for engineering teams.

What is the best way to generate engineering-ready tickets from app exploration screenshots and plans?

Generating engineering-ready tickets from app exploration screenshots and plans involves reading the configured output directory, fleshing out selected plan items with selectors and verification steps, and updating the progress log to track statuses.

Can I selectively detail specific plan items by ID instead of generating all tickets at once?

Yes, you can selectively detail specific plan items by ID or ranges instead of generating all tickets at once. The process supports selective detailing by ID, ranges, or all items, and resumes interrupted work without duplicated effort.

How does story mapping work when fleshing out exploration plans for product teams?

Story mapping for exploration plans works by parsing the progress log in story mode, then fleshing out selected items into formatted markdown user stories with design tokens, context, and references to preserve traceability to the original exploration report.

Do I need a progress log and skill-config file to generate implementation tickets?

Yes, you need a progress log and skill-config file to generate implementation tickets. The process reads the project's .claude/skill-config.md to locate the exploration output directory and parses the progress log to track revision counts and statuses.

What are the limitations of automatically translating exploration reports into work items?

A limitation of translating exploration reports into work items is that the process requires a prior app exploration run to generate the source plan files, and it functions strictly as a formatting and detailing step rather than creating new exploration data.
