SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines the process of turning research findings into actionable implementation plans and detailed to-do lists, ensuring clarity and efficiency in task execution.

Core Features & Use Cases

Plan Creation: Generates a structured implementation plan (plan.md) from research notes, including approach, decisions, phases, risks, and alternatives.
Todo Generation: Decomposes a reviewed plan into atomic, parallelizable work items (todos.md) suitable for agent execution.
Use Case: After researching a new feature, use this Skill to automatically draft a technical plan, identify potential roadblocks, and break down the work into manageable tasks for your development team.

Quick Start

Use the plan-task skill to create an implementation plan for task 001.

FAQPage Schema

How do I turn research findings into an implementation plan?▼

Generating an implementation plan from research findings involves reading research notes and producing a structured plan document. This plan captures the technical approach, key decisions, phases, potential risks, and alternatives for structured project workflows.

What is the best way to break down a project plan into actionable todos?▼

Breaking down a project plan into actionable todos involves decomposing a reviewed technical plan into atomic, parallelizable work items. This creates a detailed todos.md file containing manageable tasks designed specifically for agent execution.

Can I generate parallelizable work items from markdown research notes?▼

Yes, you can generate parallelizable work items from markdown research notes. The workflow reads your research.md file, drafts a technical plan, and then decomposes it into atomic, parallelizable work items outputted in a todos.md file.

How do I identify risks and alternatives when designing a technical plan?▼

Identifying risks and alternatives when designing a technical plan involves analyzing research findings to resolve open questions. The planning workflow processes your research.md input to explicitly highlight potential roadblocks and alternative implementation paths in the generated plan.

What file format do I need for automated todo generation?▼

Automated todo generation requires markdown files, specifically a research.md file containing your initial findings. The workflow processes this input to output structured markdown documents, including plan.md for the implementation strategy and todos.md for the decomposed tasks.

Does plan generation work without dependencies for task execution?▼

Plan generation operates without external dependencies, utilizing internal scripts and reference components. It processes research findings within a specified task directory to produce structured plans and resolve open questions independently.
