SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you turn an existing project phase into a thin, end-to-end MVP slice without losing planning discipline. It prevents oversized scope, enforces a user-story framing, and ensures the roadmap is updated before planning continues.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • User-story capture: Prompts for an "As a / I want to / So that" statement to define the phase goal clearly.
  • SPIDR scope check: Evaluates whether the story is too large and offers structured splitting across Spike, Paths, Interfaces, Data, and Rules.
  • Roadmap update and delegation: Writes MVP mode into the phase roadmap and hands off to phase planning with MVP detection.
  • Use case: A product builder wants to convert phase 2.1 into a minimal shippable slice while preserving the factory workflow and guards.

Quick Start

Use the ferrox-mvp-phase skill for phase 2.1 and help me define an MVP user story for the roadmap.

FAQPage Schema
How do I convert a project phase into an MVP slice for roadmap planning?

To convert a project phase into an MVP slice, validate the phase goal using user-story framing and apply SPIDR scope splitting to define a thin end-to-end increment before updating the roadmap.

What is SPIDR scope splitting and when should I use it for user stories?

SPIDR scope splitting is a technique evaluating whether a user story is too large, offering structured division across Spike, Paths, Interfaces, Data, and Rules to maintain a thin MVP increment.

How do I write a user story for MVP phase planning?

Write a user story for MVP phase planning by defining the goal using an "As a / I want to / So that" statement, ensuring the phase scope remains thin and shippable before roadmap delegation.

Does MVP phase planning require an existing project roadmap to function?

MVP phase planning requires an existing project roadmap because it performs phase existence checks and writes MVP mode directly into the phase roadmap before delegating to downstream planning.

What is the best way to prevent oversized scope during MVP phase planning?

The best way to prevent oversized scope is enforcing user-story validation and applying SPIDR scope splitting to break down large stories into thin, end-to-end MVP increments before execution.

Why does MVP phase planning delegate to a downstream planning workflow?

MVP phase planning delegates to a downstream planning workflow to hand off the validated MVP slice, ensuring the roadmap is updated with MVP detection before execution begins.
