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.
