SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill orchestrates the breakdown of a phase specification into actionable developer tasks. It wraps the dotnet-tech-lead agent workflow into a simple command.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Phase parsing & normalization: Extract and normalize phase identifiers from user input (e.g., 03, 3, phase-03).
  • Task generation: Generate a task breakdown aligned to phase scope, dependencies, and related specs.
  • Approval workflow: Prepare a task summary for user approval before creating files.
  • Guardrails: Enforce safety rules to prevent unintended file changes and ensure task coverage.
  • Integration: Leverage related specs to derive concrete tasks rather than duplicating content.

Quick Start

/phase-breakdown 03 /phase-breakdown 03 --validate /phase-breakdown 03 --refresh

FAQPage Schema
How do I break down a project phase into actionable developer tasks?

To break down a project phase into developer tasks, analyze the phase specification, related specs, and deliverables to produce a prioritized, actionable task plan. This enforces safe task generation with an approval gate before creating files.

What is phase management in dotnet project planning?

Phase management in dotnet project planning is the process of translating a phase specification into concrete developer tasks. It involves parsing phase identifiers, generating task breakdowns, and enforcing an approval workflow for safe task creation.

Can I validate or refresh a generated task breakdown for a specific phase?

Yes, you can validate or refresh a generated task breakdown by passing flags like --validate or --refresh with the phase identifier. This updates the task plan against the current phase scope, dependencies, and related specs.

Does the dotnet-tech-lead workflow require an approval step before task generation?

Yes, the dotnet-tech-lead workflow requires an approval step. It prepares a task summary for user approval before creating any files, enforcing guardrails to prevent unintended file changes and ensure complete task coverage.

How do I normalize phase identifiers when generating a task plan?

To normalize phase identifiers when generating a task plan, input variations like 03, 3, or phase-03 are automatically extracted and normalized. This ensures the system correctly aligns the generated tasks with the intended phase scope.

What are the limitations of automated phase breakdown for dotnet projects?

Automated phase breakdown limitations include strict guardrails that prevent unintended file changes and an enforced approval gate. Task generation derives concrete tasks from related specs rather than duplicating content, ensuring safe, auditable outputs.
