SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Decompose design decisions into actionable implementation plans, enabling traceable, auditable execution from design to deployment.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Convert design decisions into wave-based tasks with clear ownership and acceptance criteria.
  • Generate a validated PLAN.md containing waves, tasks, and gating checkpoints for execution.
  • Support override, checkpointing, and state recovery to facilitate safe plan revisions.

Quick Start

Provide a project design and scope, then run /expedite:plan to generate a wave-ordered implementation plan.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create an executable implementation plan from design decisions?

To create an implementation plan from design decisions, provide your project design and scope to decompose decisions into wave-based tasks with clear ownership and acceptance criteria.

How does wave-ordered task decomposition validate phase sizing for deployment?

Wave-ordered task decomposition validates phase sizing by mapping every design decision to tasks, checking wave counts, and logging checkpoints and state transitions to .expedite artifacts.

Can I override or recover state when generating a validated plan file?

Yes, you can override checkpoints and recover state during the plan lifecycle to facilitate safe plan revisions while maintaining traceable and auditable execution from design to deployment.

What is the best way to ensure traceability from design to deployment?

The best way to ensure traceability from design to deployment is to generate a validated plan containing waves, tasks, and gating checkpoints that maps every design decision to executable tasks.

Does the generated plan include gating checkpoints for execution?

Yes, the generated plan includes gating checkpoints for execution, ensuring artifact generation, traceability, and auditable execution throughout the product and engineering lifecycles.
