SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps planners translate goals into structured plans with phases, tasks, and acceptance criteria, reducing scope creep.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Restate goals, perform baseline research, and break work into phases.
  • Provide estimating techniques, risk multipliers, and a consolidated plan file.
  • Produce a mandatory plan.md that consolidates all phases.

Quick Start

Create a 3-phase plan for a new feature, including a consolidated plan.md with all phases.

Frequently Asked Questions about project-planning

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I break down a software project into phases with clear acceptance criteria?

Create a step-by-step implementation plan by researching existing code patterns, identifying affected files and dependencies, then structuring work into 3–5 independently testable phases. Each phase includes acceptance criteria, estimates, and a consolidated plan.md documenting context, risk matrix, and dependency order.

What should a project plan include to prevent scope creep?

A structured plan translates goals into phases, tasks, and measurable acceptance criteria. This Skill generates a consolidated plan.md with functional requirements, code patterns, phase templates, risk multipliers, time estimates, and a dependency map for build sequencing.

How do I estimate software project phases and identify risks?

Apply estimating techniques with risk multipliers to each phase. This Skill analyzes your codebase patterns, breaks work into independently testable components, and produces a risk matrix showing impact and mitigation alongside phase-level estimates and dependencies.

Can I use this approach for feature planning within an existing codebase?

Yes. This Skill researches existing code patterns and dependencies within your codebase, identifies affected files, and creates a structured 3–5 phase plan with acceptance criteria and a dependency map tailored to your project's architecture.

What's the best way to document project phases so teams understand build order?

Consolidate all phases, acceptance criteria, estimates, and dependencies into a single plan.md file. This Skill generates that documentation with a dependency map showing which phases block others, enabling teams to execute work in the correct sequence.

Do I need technical knowledge to create a project plan with acceptance criteria?

This Skill handles technical analysis—researching code patterns, identifying dependencies, and mapping affected files. You provide the goal; the Skill produces phase breakdowns, acceptance criteria, estimates, and a risk matrix ready for team review and execution.
