SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Forge projects often begin without a structured backlog or formal SPEC, leading to scattered ideas and misaligned implementation. This Skill automates the creation of a complete GitHub backlog and a SPECIFICATION.md from PROMPT.md, enabling repeatable planning for Forge projects.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Analyze PROMPT.md and CLAUDE.md to generate a structured backlog of issues, milestones, and an implementation plan.
  • Synthesize a SPECIFICATION.md capturing architecture, technology stack, and design decisions.
  • Detect initial planning vs audit mode (graveyard presence) and adapt the output accordingly.
  • Produce a dependency-aware sequence of issues where lower numbers build first.

Quick Start

Describe PROMPT.md for a Forge project and run the plan to generate a complete backlog and SPEC.

Frequently Asked Questions about plan

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a GitHub backlog from a project prompt?

To generate a GitHub backlog from a project prompt, you need a tool that reads PROMPT.md and CLAUDE.md to produce structured milestones and issues. This Skill automates that process by spawning analysis agents to create a dependency-aware implementation sequence.

What is the best way to create a dependency-aware sequence of issues for a new project?

Creating a dependency-aware sequence of issues requires analyzing project specifications to order tasks logically. This Skill reads your project prompt and outputs structured milestones where lower issue numbers indicate tasks that must be built first.

How do I synthesize a technical specification from markdown files?

Synthesizing a technical specification from markdown files involves extracting architecture and design decisions from prompts. This Skill reads PROMPT.md and CLAUDE.md to automatically generate a SPECIFICATION.md capturing your technology stack and project architecture.

Can I audit an existing GitHub backlog instead of starting initial planning?

Yes, you can audit an existing GitHub backlog by detecting the repository state before processing. This Skill checks for graveyard presence to determine whether to execute an initial planning run or adapt the output for an audit run.

Does this backlog planning approach require external dependencies?

No, this backlog planning approach does not require external dependencies to function. It operates autonomously by reading local markdown files and using internal reference agents to analyze and file your complete project backlog.

Why does my GitHub backlog need milestones and detailed implementation notes?

Your GitHub backlog needs milestones and detailed implementation notes to prevent scattered ideas and misaligned implementation. This Skill automates the creation of these structured details to enable repeatable project planning.
