SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps teams plan complex project phases by generating detailed, reusable phase plans with a dedicated gsd-planner agent.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Generate phase plans for new development waves by breaking work into phases, waves, and tasks
  • Validate plan structure and enable traceability, including committing results to git as phase-plan.md
  • Reuse planning patterns across projects to accelerate onboarding, alignment, and planning quality

Quick Start

Prompt the system to generate a phase plan for the current wave using gsd-planner

FAQPage Schema
How do I break down a complex project phase into executable tasks?

You can break down a complex project phase by generating a detailed phase plan that organizes work into phases, waves, and tasks. This produces a validated phase-plan.md file to align teams on execution.

What is a phase plan and when do I need one for project management?

A phase plan is a structured document that breaks project development into manageable waves and tasks with traceability. You need one when initiating new development waves to ensure team alignment and reusable planning patterns.

Can I reuse the same task breakdown structure across multiple projects?

Yes, you can reuse planning patterns across multiple projects to accelerate onboarding and planning quality. The generated phase plans are designed as reusable structures that maintain consistency in project management.

How do I generate a phase plan and store it in git?

To generate a phase plan and store it in git, prompt the system to analyze your current wave and map codebase context. The planner agent produces a validated phase-plan.md file that can be committed directly to your repository.

Does this planning approach work without external dependencies?

Yes, this planning approach works without external dependencies. It relies on a dedicated planner agent to analyze the wave and map codebase context internally, producing a self-contained phase plan.

Why does my project planning lack traceability across development waves?

Project planning lacks traceability across development waves when phase plans are not structurally validated or committed to git. Generating a standardized phase-plan.md ensures structure validation and enables consistent traceability.
