What problem does it solve?
Manually converting feature specifications from GitHub issues or local markdown files into ordered, file-level implementation tasks is slow, error-prone, and often misses dependencies or correct task sequencing.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Dual mode support: Works with both GitHub Issues (GH mode) and local markdown spec files (local mode) to match existing development workflows.
- Built-in validation: Runs entry gate checks to avoid duplicate checklists and ensures specs are fully ready for implementation before proceeding.
- Quality assurance: Includes an internal review loop to catch vague tasks, misordered dependencies, and missing files before presenting the checklist for approval.
- Use case: For a GitHub issue labeled has-spec, this skill generates a step-by-step checklist of concrete file changes ordered by dependency, ready for the execute-issue skill to work through.
Quick Start
Use the plan-issue skill to break down GitHub issue 123 into an implementation checklist.
