SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Plans features end-to-end by orchestrating discovery, synthesis, decomposition, beads, validation, and artifact generation, ensuring a complete execution plan for complex initiatives.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Discovery and architecture mapping to capture existing patterns and constraints.
  • Synthesis and risk assessment to choose optimal approaches.
  • Decomposition into beads with acceptance criteria and references to spikes.
  • Bead review, validation, and artifact verification to ensure plan quality and readiness.

Quick Start

Ask the planning skill to generate an end-to-end execution plan for a new feature, starting with discovery and ending with an artifact-complete plan.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create an end-to-end execution plan for a new software feature?

To create an end-to-end execution plan, you orchestrate discovery, synthesis, and decomposition to generate validated artifacts like beads and execution phases. This ensures your software feature has a complete implementation strategy with automated guidance and guardrails.

What are beads in feature decomposition and how do they help planning?

Beads are structured outputs generated during feature decomposition that include acceptance criteria and references to spikes. They break complex initiatives into manageable units, ensuring plan quality and readiness through validation and artifact verification.

Can I use automated workflows for multi-phase implementation strategies across different codebases?

Yes, automated workflows support multi-phase implementation strategies across teams and codebases by enforcing structured outputs and applying discovery and architecture mapping to capture existing patterns and constraints for validated artifacts.

What is the best way to plan comprehensive features without missing architecture constraints?

The best way to plan comprehensive features is to apply discovery and architecture mapping first, capturing existing patterns and constraints. This enables proper synthesis and risk assessment to choose optimal approaches before decomposition.

Does this feature planning approach include risk assessment and validation?

Yes, feature planning includes synthesis and risk assessment to choose optimal approaches, followed by bead review, validation, and artifact verification. These automated guardrails ensure the final execution plan is complete and ready for implementation.
