SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Clarify scope and milestones before coding, reducing delays and rework by delivering a structured plan with phases and risk assessment.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Phase-based planning: Break work into 3-5 independent phases with tasks and files.
  • Estimation framework: Use T-Shirt sizing and risk matrix to gauge effort.
  • Plan consolidation: Always produce plan.md containing all phases and context.

Quick Start

Create a plan for a new feature: "User authentication flow" and generate plan.md with all phases.

Frequently Asked Questions about project-planning

FAQPage Schema
How do I break a project into phases with clear milestones?

Phase-based planning divides work into 3–5 independent, testable phases. This Skill automates phase creation by analyzing goals, dependencies, and affected files, then generates a structured plan.md with tasks, acceptance criteria, and risk assessment for each phase.

What's the best way to estimate effort and identify risks before implementation?

T-Shirt sizing and risk matrices quantify effort and flag dependencies early. This Skill applies both frameworks during planning to consolidate estimates and risk factors into a single plan.md, reducing rework and delays.

Can I use project planning to coordinate cross-functional work?

Yes. This Skill handles software projects and cross-functional initiatives by mapping dependencies, breaking work into independently testable phases, and producing traceable artifacts so teams stay aligned on scope and milestones.

How do I generate a consolidated plan document with all phases and context?

This Skill automates plan.md generation by restating goals, researching affected files, analyzing dependencies, and consolidating 3–5 phases with tasks and acceptance criteria into a single, standardized output file.

What preparation is needed before creating a project plan?

Clarify project goals and scope beforehand. This Skill then guides a planner agent to research the codebase, identify affected files, note dependencies, and structure work into phases—no prior planning artifacts required.

Does this approach work for both new features and large initiatives?

Yes. Phase-based planning with risk analysis applies to feature development and cross-functional initiatives. The Skill enforces standardized templates and dependency analysis to scale across project types.
