SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill solves the issue of vague, unmanageable project tasks by enforcing a rigorous, milestone-based planning framework that ensures every step is executable, verifiable, and tracked.

Core Features & Use Cases

Milestone Breakdown: Automatically structures complex work into logical, risk-weighted milestones using proven archetypes like Spike-first and Prove-it-works.
Verification Gates: Enforces mandatory AI and human verification gates to ensure code quality and plan integrity before moving to the next phase.
Use Case: When starting a non-trivial feature implementation, use this Skill to generate a complete plan with risk-tagged tasks, exit criteria, and testing gates, ensuring the agent stays on track from start to finish.

Quick Start

Use the goat-plan skill to create a milestone plan for implementing the new authentication module.

FAQPage Schema

How do I break down complex software implementation tasks into verifiable milestones?▼

Milestone breakdown structures complex implementation tasks into logical, risk-weighted milestones using archetypes like Spike-first and Prove-it-works. This framework ensures every step is executable, verifiable, and tracked from start to finish.

What is the best way to enforce verification gates during project execution?▼

Verification gates enforce mandatory AI and human checks to ensure code quality and plan integrity before moving to the next phase. This milestone-based planning framework tracks progress and applies rigorous testing gates throughout execution.

How do I track assumptions and manage cold-start execution for non-trivial features?▼

Cold-start execution and assumption tracking are handled by generating a complete plan with risk-tagged tasks, exit criteria, and testing gates. This satisfies the requirements for starting non-trivial feature implementations with human-in-the-loop verification.

Can I use milestone planning for project management workflows requiring progress reporting?▼

Milestone planning applies directly to project management and development workflows requiring milestone tracking, progress reporting, and rigorous testing gates. It structures complex work into manageable phases with verifiable exit criteria.

Do I need human-in-the-loop verification for milestone-based task tracking?▼

Human-in-the-loop verification is a mandatory component of the milestone planning framework. It enforces verification gates that require human checks alongside AI verification to ensure code quality and plan integrity before phase progression.
