To turn unstructured requirements into testable implementation plans, you need to transform vague feature requests into concrete task plans with clear interface definitions, dependency graphs, and Given/When/Then acceptance criteria before coding begins.

EARS requirement syntax is a structured format for writing unambiguous software requirements. It is used in full-spec planning mode to generate formal requirement statements that prevent missed edge cases and misaligned team expectations during complex system development.

Decomposing software features into tasks with dependency graphs requires breaking down requirements into granular, testable units. This process includes assigning complexity estimates, performing file impact analysis, and defining interface contracts first to ensure consistent implementation.

Interface-first design prevents hallucinations in implementation planning by defining contracts and types before any code is written. This approach ensures consistency across the development workflow and aligns team expectations with concrete technical boundaries.

You can use lightweight task planning for quick feature additions. Dual-mode planning supports both lightweight mode for rapid feature additions and full-spec mode for complex systems requiring EARS requirements, user stories, and detailed acceptance criteria.

Signal light confidence markers indicate the level of certainty within task plans. Blue, yellow, and red markers flag assumptions and areas requiring user confirmation, preserving context and highlighting where requirement clarification is necessary before implementation.
