SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps teams quickly estimate the effort required for a task by analyzing multiple inputs and producing a structured estimate with confidence levels.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Read the task description and existing context to scope work accurately.
  • Analyze codebase impact, dependencies, historical sprint velocity, and risk factors to generate an evidence-based estimate.
  • Produce a structured estimate including optimistic/expected/pessimistic scenarios and a recommended contingency.

Quick Start

Provide a task description, and I will return a structured estimate with confidence levels.

Frequently Asked Questions about estimate

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I estimate task effort for software development with confidence levels?▼

Task effort estimation analyzes complexity, dependencies, velocity history, and risk to produce a structured estimate with confidence levels. It scans the codebase for impacted modules and generates optimistic, expected, and pessimistic scenarios with a recommended contingency.

What inputs do I need to generate a sprint forecast for a development task?▼

Sprint forecasting requires a task description and project context from CLAUDE.md. It reviews relevant design docs and scans the codebase for impacted modules to generate an evidence-based estimate across design, implementation, and testing phases.

Can I use codebase analysis to predict task workload for impacted modules?▼

Yes, codebase analysis predicts task workload by scanning impacted modules and reading existing project context. It combines this with dependency mapping and historical sprint velocity to generate a structured estimate with confidence levels.

Does project planning estimate risk and contingency for development tasks?▼

Project planning estimates risk and contingency by analyzing task complexity and velocity history. It produces structured scenarios including optimistic, expected, and pessimistic outcomes alongside a recommended contingency buffer.

What is the best way to scope work accurately for a new development task?▼

Scoping work accurately involves reading the task description, ingesting project context, reviewing design docs, and scanning the codebase. This multi-input analysis produces an evidence-based estimate with structured confidence levels.

Why does task estimation include optimistic, expected, and pessimistic scenarios?▼

Task estimation includes optimistic, expected, and pessimistic scenarios to account for complexity and risk factors. This structured approach provides confidence levels and a recommended contingency to improve sprint forecasting accuracy.
