SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

It prevents costly implementation rework by converting an approved spec into a concrete, restartable engineering plan that reviewers and implementers can execute with confidence.

Core Features & Use Cases

Draft an implementation-ready plan artifact: Creates or updates ./docs/workflows/{slug}/plan.md with an authoritative, implementation-focused structure.
Ensure restartability and buildable milestones: Structures Steps into concrete, buildable/testable milestones with explicit validation checkpoints.
Incorporate review outcomes without silently expanding scope: Incorporates accepted plan-review feedback and routes product-contract gaps back to spec-create.

Quick Start

Use plan-create after spec approval to draft or update ./docs/workflows/{slug}/plan.md into an operator-facing plan that is ready for plan-review.

FAQPage Schema

How do I convert an approved spec into an engineering plan with buildable milestones?▼

Converting an approved spec into an engineering plan requires generating a restartable plan artifact that structures sequenced milestones, interfaces, and validation checkpoints. This ensures implementation steps remain buildable and testable throughout execution.

What is a restartable engineering plan artifact?▼

A restartable engineering plan artifact is a self-contained document that defines execution status, recovery notes, and explicit validation commands. It allows implementers to confidently resume incomplete work without losing context or skipping build and test checkpoints.

How do I structure implementation milestones with validation checkpoints?▼

Structuring implementation milestones with validation checkpoints involves breaking down spec acceptance into sequenced, buildable steps that conclude with a final command validation. This approach prevents costly rework by verifying each milestone independently before proceeding.

Can I update an existing workflow plan without expanding scope?▼

Updating an existing workflow plan incorporates accepted review feedback without silently expanding scope. Product-contract gaps identified during updates are routed back to the spec creation phase to maintain strict boundary control.

Does engineering planning work for both greenfield projects and enhancement updates?▼

Engineering planning applies to both greenfield development and enhancement updates. It turns spec acceptance into concrete execution steps, ensuring sequenced milestones and recovery notes are generated regardless of whether the project is new or existing.
