SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Planning a software feature is error-prone without a repeatable process. This Skill orchestrates a four-phase workflow—research, draft, critique, and finalization—to produce a production-ready plan that teams can execute.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Four-phase workflow: Research with an agent team, draft a plan, critique with automated agents, and finalize the plan for delivery.
  • Artifact generation: Produces a structured plan document with phased slices, risks, and testing strategies.
  • Repository-aligned outputs: Writes final plan to standard locations and follows project conventions for plan naming and storage.
  • Use Case: When kicking off a new feature, refactor, or architecture decision, run this Skill to generate a concrete, reviewable plan.

Quick Start

Describe the feature you want to plan, and I will generate a draft plan using a four-phase research-to-delivery workflow.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a structured feature plan for a new software functionality?

This Skill drafts a feature plan by running a four-phase workflow: research, draft, critique, and finalize. It produces a structured plan document with phased work breakdowns, risks, and testing strategies aligned to your repository conventions.

What is the best way to plan software architecture changes and feature redesigns?

Planning architecture changes and feature redesigns is best handled through an agent-driven workflow that researches your request, drafts a plan, applies automated critique, and finalizes the output with phased slices and risk coverage.

Can I generate a plan document with risk and testing coverage for my engineering project?

Yes, you can generate a plan document that includes risk and testing coverage. The finalization phase outputs structured artifacts containing phased work breakdowns, testing strategies, and frontmatter-driven metadata.

How does the agent-driven critique phase work during feature design?

The critique phase uses automated agents to review the drafted feature design. They evaluate the plan for completeness and risks before the finalization phase writes the structured document to standard repository locations.

Do I need specific project conventions to use an automated feature planning workflow?

No specific dependencies are required, but the workflow aligns outputs to your project conventions. It follows repository patterns for plan-file generation, naming, storage, and frontmatter-driven metadata.
