SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill creates a Task Breakdown (TASKS) artifact—Layer 11—that decomposes a completed SPEC into AI-structured, executable tasks for implementation planning and execution.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • AI-Structured Tasks: Generates well-scoped tasks with IDs (e.g., TASK-01-003) organized by phases.
  • Traceability: Attaches references to upstream artifacts (BRD/PRD/EARS/… SPEC) for end-to-end traceability.
  • Phase-driven Planning: Produces a clear task hierarchy aligned to the SDD workflow.

Quick Start

Provide the Layer 10 SPEC (SPEC) and request a TASKS breakdown. The output will be a structured, phase-based list of tasks ready for IPLAN and execution planning.

FAQPage Schema
How do I break down a specification into actionable tasks for implementation?

Task breakdown decomposes a completed SPEC into AI-structured, executable tasks organized by phase. Provide your Layer 10 SPEC and receive a TASKS artifact with task IDs, titles, actions, file targets, dependencies, effort estimates, and success criteria ready for implementation planning.

What is traceability in task planning, and why does it matter?

Traceability links each task back to upstream artifacts—BRD, PRD, EARS, or SPEC—creating an end-to-end audit trail. Task breakdown maintains this chain by referencing the source SPEC in every task, ensuring accountability and enabling impact analysis across the development workflow.

Can I use task breakdown in an AI-agent-based architecture?

Yes. Task breakdown generates phase-driven task hierarchies compatible with both AI-agent-based and traditional 8-layer architectures. Output feeds directly into Phase 12 IPLAN and Phase 13 Code execution, supporting autonomous or human-managed implementation.

What does the task breakdown output include?

Task breakdown produces a structured TASKS artifact containing task IDs (TASK-{SPEC-ID}-{N}), titles, actions, files to create or modify, task dependencies, effort estimates, SPEC references, success criteria, and a Mermaid dependency diagram for visual planning.

How does phase-driven planning improve task execution?

Phase-driven planning organizes tasks into a clear hierarchy aligned to the SDD workflow, reducing scope ambiguity and enabling parallel execution tracking. Task breakdown structures output by phase so teams know execution sequence, blockers, and completion milestones upfront.

Do I need a completed specification before using task breakdown?

Yes. Task breakdown requires a completed Layer 10 SPEC as input. The SPEC must be finalized so tasks reflect all requirements, constraints, and architectural decisions without requiring rework during execution.
