How does effort estimation work when breaking down a PRD?

Effort estimation is generated by breaking down the PRD into specific tasks, assigning estimated hours to each task, and organizing them into phases like foundation, core, and polish.

Can I validate the dependency graph generated from my PRD?

Yes, you can validate the dependency graph using the provided DAG validator script, which ensures the generated tasks.json plan has correct dependency rules before execution.

What is the best way to structure implementation phases from a PRD?

The best way to structure implementation phases from a PRD is to organize the generated tasks into foundation, core, polish, and nice-to-have phases with dependency-ordered execution.

Do I need an existing PRD file to generate a tasks.json plan?

Yes, you need an existing PRD file in your workspace to generate a tasks.json plan, as the Skill requires functional requirements and user stories as input for task breakdown.
