SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It transforms approved alignment artifacts into precise, executable implementation task specifications so implementation agents and human reviewers have an unambiguous contract to follow.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Breaks designs and structures into ordered vertical-slice tasks with exact file paths, dependencies, and LOC estimates.
  • Produces test expectations in plain language, enforces artifact approval gating, and handles large plans by farming task specs to sub-subagents.
  • Use cases include full-feature implementations requiring phased plans and quick-fix single-task plans for targeted bug fixes.

Quick Start

Create a plan.md that converts approved goals.md and research/summary.md (and design.md/structure.md for full mode) into a reviewed implementation plan with task specs.

FAQPage Schema
How do I break down software design documents into executable implementation tasks?

Implementation task specifications provide an unambiguous contract for implementation agents by breaking designs into ordered vertical-slice tasks. They enforce artifact approval gating and include exact file paths, dependencies, and test expectations to eliminate ambiguity during coding.

How do I generate a task specification from approved QRSPI artifacts?

To generate task specifications from approved QRSPI artifacts, you apply the planning process to full or quick pipelines. This converts approved goals, research, and design documents into ordered tasks or a single quick-fix task, producing a plan.md and individual task spec files for review.

Can I create a quick-fix single-task plan for targeted bug fixes?

Yes, you can create a quick-fix single-task plan for targeted bug fixes using the quick QRSPI pipeline mode. This mode converts approved goals and research summary directly into a single executable task specification without requiring full design and structure breakdowns.

What is the best way to handle large implementation plans with many task specs?

The best way to handle large implementation plans is by farming task specifications to sub-subagents. This approach scales the task breakdown process, allowing parallel generation of individual task specs while maintaining exact file paths and LOC estimates for the overall plan.

Does the plan generation process enforce artifact approval before creating task breakdowns?

Yes, the plan generation process strictly enforces artifact approval gating before creating task breakdowns. It validates that upstream QRSPI artifacts are approved and enforces no placeholders, ensuring implementation agents only work from fully validated goals and research.
