SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Plan and scaffold new features onto an existing project by analyzing the current codebase, ingesting specs (text or folder of docs/images), installs missing skill library components, creates a feature branch and spec folder, then delegates to planning-specification-architecture for the gated requirements → design → tasks workflow.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Analyze the existing codebase and specs to determine scope.
  • Install missing skill library components and scaffold a dedicated .spec/new-features-updates directory.
  • Create a feature branch and guide gated, phase-structured planning (requirements → design → tasks) via planning-specification-architecture.

Quick Start

Provide a feature description or a path to a folder of specs and let this skill scaffold the feature and start the planning workflow.

FAQPage Schema
How do I plan and scaffold new features onto an existing codebase?

To scaffold new features, this skill analyzes your existing codebase, ingests provided specs, creates a dedicated feature branch, and prepares a structured directory for planning before generating design and task documents.

What is the best way to turn feature specs into a structured development plan?

Transforming feature specs into a development plan involves ingesting text or document folders, analyzing the project scope, and running a gated workflow that outputs ready-to-edit requirements, design, and tasks markdown files.

Do I need an existing codebase to use this feature scaffolding workflow?

Yes, this feature scaffolding workflow applies to projects that already have an existing codebase and requires a dedicated spec folder along with a feature branch to operate correctly.

How do I start the gated requirements, design, and tasks workflow for a new feature?

Start the gated planning workflow by providing a feature description or a path to a folder of specs, which triggers codebase analysis, installs missing skill components, and delegates to planning-specification-architecture.

Can I ingest images and documents when scaffolding a new feature?

Yes, you can ingest images and documents for feature scaffolding by providing a path to a folder of specs, which the skill analyzes to determine project scope and prepare the planning workflow.

What files are generated during the feature planning and scaffolding process?

The feature planning process generates ready-to-edit requirements.md, design.md, and tasks.md files through gated phases, including context prep and task enrichment steps for detailed task-level work.
