SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines the complex process of project planning by guiding users through scope detection, goal capture, discovery, requirement gathering, design decisions, and finally, writing and critiquing a comprehensive plan.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Scope Detection: Intelligently determines the project's scope (single task, mini, or full).
  • Guided Planning Workflow: Walks users through essential planning phases with clear steps and prompts.
  • Integrated Critique: Automatically spawns a critique process to ensure plan quality.
  • Use Case: Kick off a new feature development by using /plan new-user-authentication to generate a detailed, reviewed, and committed plan.

Quick Start

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate project planning for software development?

Automated project planning streamlines software development by guiding users through scope detection, goal capture, discovery, requirements, design decisions, and writing a comprehensive plan. This workflow uses a rule-based kernel for condition evaluation and prompt generation.

What is the best way to gather requirements and critique a project plan?

Gathering requirements and critiquing a project plan is best handled by a multi-phase workflow that progresses through discovery to plan writing, then automatically spawns a critique process to evaluate plan quality and ensure design decisions are thoroughly reviewed.

Can I use workflow automation for code analysis and task management?

Workflow automation supports code analysis and task management by integrating with tools like auggie and warpgrep. These integrations allow the planning workflow to analyze existing code and manage generated tasks during the discovery and requirements phases.

Does automated scope detection work for a single task or full software project?

Automated scope detection works for a single task, mini, or full software project. It intelligently determines the project's scope at the start of the workflow to appropriately scale goal capture, discovery, and requirements gathering.

How do I start planning a new feature from scope to critique?

To start planning a new feature from scope to critique, initiate the workflow with a command like `/plan new-user-authentication`. This triggers automated scope detection and walks you through each planning phase to generate a detailed, reviewed plan.
