SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Preserves forward-looking ideas that are too big or off-schedule by capturing their full context, rationale, and trigger conditions so they do not get lost in generic deferred lists and will reappear when relevant.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured seed creation: Saves idea files under .planning/seeds with WHY, WHEN, and breadcrumbs for later review.
  • Automatic resurfacing: Seeds are scanned by milestone workflows and presented when trigger conditions match, reducing context rot.
  • Use case: A product manager records a future experiment idea with trigger criteria so it is automatically surfaced at the next matching milestone kickoff.

Quick Start

Use the gsd-plant-seed skill to record an idea with its why, trigger conditions, and supporting notes so it will be saved as a seed for future milestone scans.

FAQPage Schema
How do I capture deferred backlog ideas so they resurface during milestone planning?

You can capture deferred ideas by creating structured seed files that store the WHY, WHEN, and breadcrumbs for each concept. This preserves the original intent and trigger conditions so milestone workflows can automatically resurface them when relevant.

What is the best way to prevent off-schedule feature ideas from getting lost in a backlog?

The best way to prevent off-schedule ideas from getting lost is to save them as structured seeds containing full context, rationale, and trigger metadata. This ensures milestone scanners can automatically match and resurface them when relevant conditions arise.

How do I preserve the rationale and trigger conditions for future project planning ideas?

Preserving rationale for future project planning ideas requires saving them as structured seed files containing WHY, WHEN, and breadcrumbs. This records the exact resurfacing conditions and intent so the idea reappears during the correct milestone creation or review phase.

Can I automatically surface deferred backlog items when a project milestone kicks off?

Yes, you can automatically surface deferred backlog items by saving them as seeds with trigger metadata. Milestone workflows scan these seed files and present the relevant items when trigger conditions match during milestone creation or review.

Does this seed capture approach work for product managers recording future experiment ideas?

Yes, this approach works for product managers recording future experiment ideas. By saving the idea with trigger criteria as a seed, it is automatically surfaced at the next matching milestone kickoff, reducing context rot.

Why do deferred feature ideas disappear in generic project planning lists?

Deferred feature ideas disappear in generic project planning lists because they lack structured context and trigger metadata. Without saving the WHY, WHEN, and breadcrumbs as seed files, milestone scanners cannot match and resurface the ideas when relevant.
