SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Structured task planning with clear breakdowns, dependencies, and verification criteria helps teams coordinate multi-step software work and reduce rework, ambiguity, and delivery risk.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Enforces a max of 10 tasks per plan, with each task sized for 2-5 minutes.
  • Produces a {task-slug}.md plan containing INPUT, OUTPUT, and VERIFY for every task.
  • Explicitly defines dependencies and routes work to the appropriate project-type agent (frontend, backend, mobile, or database).
  • Suitable for new projects, feature additions, bug fixes, and refactors that require disciplined planning.

Quick Start

Describe your goal and scope, and the planner will generate a {task-slug}.md plan.

Frequently Asked Questions about project-planner

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I break down complex software work into verifiable tasks with clear dependencies?

Task decomposition for complex software work splits requests into 2-5 minute verifiable tasks with explicit dependencies. It generates a {task-slug}.md plan enforcing INPUT, OUTPUT, and VERIFY criteria for each step to reduce ambiguity and delivery risk.

What's the best way to plan a refactoring project without losing track of dependencies?

Planning a refactoring project requires routing work to the appropriate project-type agent, such as frontend or backend. The planner enforces a maximum of 10 tasks per plan, sizing each task for 2-5 minutes with explicit dependency definitions to prevent scope creep.

Can I use structured task planning for both new feature additions and bug fixes?

Structured task planning supports new projects, feature additions, bug fixes, and refactors. It applies disciplined planning by producing a markdown plan with verifiable tasks, ensuring every task includes explicit INPUT, OUTPUT, and VERIFY stages for comprehensive coverage.

How does the INPUT OUTPUT VERIFY format work for software project management?

The INPUT, OUTPUT, and VERIFY format defines expected inputs, desired outputs, and verification criteria for every task in a plan. This structured task decomposition enforces 2-5 minute task sizes and produces a markdown file to coordinate multi-step software work and reduce rework.

Are there limitations on how many tasks I can generate for a single feature work plan?

Feature work plans enforce a maximum limit of 10 tasks per plan. Each task is constrained to a 2-5 minute execution window to maintain strict scope control and ensure verifiable task decomposition without overwhelming the project-type routing agents.
