SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires plannotator.

What problem does it solve? Vague ideas and objectives often go straight into implementation without shared understanding, leading to scope creep and rework. This Skill converts a raw idea into a structured goal package at goals/<slug>/ containing an interview record, a reviewed fact sheet, and a codebase-grounded execution plan. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Structured Interview Bundle: Builds a compact set of high-leverage questions with recommended answers, presented through the Plannotator browser UI, and records the submitted answers as JSON. - Reviewed Fact Sheet: Generates testable, verifiable facts from interview answers, lets the user accept, edit, or remove each fact, and tracks automated verification flags per fact. - Codebase-Grounded Plan: Explores the repository to produce an ordered implementation plan with per-step verification, gated through Plannotator approval before finalizing goal.md. - Use Case: You have a rough feature idea like "add CSV export". Run this Skill to interview stakeholders, produce an agreed fact sheet, and output a gated plan that a /goal workflow can execute against. ## Quick Start Use the plannotator-setup-goal skill to turn my idea for a CSV export feature into a goal package.

FAQPage Schema
How do I turn a feature idea into an execution plan?

Run this Skill with your idea and it rearticulates the goal, interviews you through a Plannotator browser session, builds a reviewed fact sheet, then explores the codebase to write an ordered plan. The final goal.md is produced under goals/<slug>/.

What is a fact sheet in goal planning?

A fact sheet is a flat list of simple, testable statements describing each outcome a goal must produce. Each fact can be flagged for automated verification, and the user reviews, edits, accepts, or removes facts in the Plannotator UI before they become authoritative.

Does this skill require the plannotator CLI?

Yes, the plannotator tool is a declared dependency in deps.yml. The Skill runs plannotator setup-goal interview, setup-goal facts, and annotate commands as monitored foreground processes to drive the browser-based review sessions.

What happens if the user dismisses the Plannotator browser session?

The Skill stops and reports that the goal setup or facts review was closed. It never closes, restarts, or reopens the session on its own; revisions are made by updating the working JSON file and launching a new command.

When should I use the optional grilling step before the interview?

Use grilling when the goal is vague or has many interdependent decisions. It runs a one-question-at-a-time deep interview, then folds resolved decisions into a higher-quality interview bundle or directly into the fact sheet.
