SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Orchestrates the implementation planning process by converting a feature specification into a structured plan, architecture decisions, and governance artifacts, ensuring a smooth transition from concept to design.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Coordinates context resolution, alignment, and research gates to prepare a complete planning plan.
  • Generates and updates key artifacts like plan.md, spec.md, research.md, and optional design artifacts based on SPEC_TYPE.
  • Produces a repeatable, auditable planning workflow that automates governance checks, artifact generation, and stakeholder communication for feature delivery.

Quick Start

Run the planning workflow against a feature spec by calling the /sddp-plan command in your repo to produce a ready-to-review plan and artifacts.

FAQPage Schema
How do I convert a feature specification into a structured implementation plan?

To convert a feature specification into a structured implementation plan, this Skill orchestrates context resolution and research gates to synthesize spec.md inputs into a comprehensive plan.md with architecture decisions.

What is the best way to automate governance checks during feature planning?

Automating governance checks during feature planning is handled by orchestrating a repeatable, auditable workflow that generates artifacts like plan.md and research.md while validating technical context for stakeholder delivery.

How do I generate architecture decisions and design artifacts from a spec.md file?

Generating architecture decisions and design artifacts from a spec.md file requires coordinating the registered Technical Context and SPEC_TYPE to produce research.md and optional design outputs for software initiatives.

Does feature planning orchestration work for product, technical, and operational initiatives?

Feature planning orchestration works across product, technical, and operational initiatives by synthesizing inputs from spec.md and plan.md templates to serve Product Managers, Software Engineers, and DevOps stakeholders.

How do I start the planning workflow to produce a ready-to-review plan?

To start the planning workflow and produce a ready-to-review plan, run the /sddp-plan command in your repository against your feature spec to generate the required planning artifacts.

What are the limitations of using automated planning artifacts for software delivery?

Limitations of automated planning artifacts include dependency on the completeness of the initial spec.md and the registered Technical Context, as the orchestration synthesizes existing inputs rather than generating conceptual requirements from scratch.
