SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you insert newly discovered urgent work into an in-progress roadmap without renumbering every later milestone, so delivery plans stay stable and readable.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Decimal phase insertion: Adds urgent tasks between existing integer phases using values like 72.1 or 72.2.
  • Roadmap continuity: Preserves the original sequence of planned work while making room for mid-milestone surprises.
  • Validation-aware execution: Verifies the target phase, calculates the correct decimal step, and updates roadmap state with guardrails intact.

Quick Start

Ask the skill to insert an urgent task after phase 72, and it will place the work in the roadmap using decimal numbering.

FAQPage Schema
How do I insert urgent work into a roadmap without renumbering planned milestones?

Insert urgent work into a roadmap without renumbering by using decimal phase numbering, placing newly discovered tasks between existing integer phases like 72.1 or 72.2. This preserves original milestone sequences and keeps delivery plans stable.

What is decimal phase numbering for urgent work insertion?

Decimal phase numbering is a roadmap management technique that assigns values like 72.1 to urgent tasks inserted between existing integer phases. It makes room for mid-milestone surprises during active delivery while preserving validation gates and roadmap continuity.

Can I add a milestone between two existing phases during active delivery?

You can add a milestone between existing phases during active delivery by applying decimal phase calculation. The process verifies the target phase, calculates the correct decimal step, and updates roadmap state with guardrails intact to ensure validation-aware execution.

How do I maintain roadmap state updates with validation gates when adding tasks?

Maintain roadmap state with validation gates by running phase verification before inserting urgent work. The insertion process calculates the correct decimal step and applies state updates with guardrails intact, ensuring validation-aware execution throughout the workflow.

Does decimal phase insertion work with milestone-based execution workflows?

Decimal phase insertion applies specifically to milestone-based execution workflows where newly discovered tasks must be placed between integer phases. It requires argument parsing and phase verification to insert urgent work without disrupting planned milestones.

When should I avoid inserting urgent work into an existing phase roadmap?

Avoid inserting urgent work into a phase roadmap when the active delivery workflow is not milestone-based or lacks clear integer phases. This decimal insertion approach requires existing phase verification and validation gates to properly update roadmap state.
