SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Bootstrap artifacts (PRD, SAD, and optionally DOD) are often scattered across documents and teams. This skill analyzes those inputs and systematically converts them into a prioritized, dependency-aware sequence of epics that guide delivery.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Decomposes PRD capabilities into demo-scoped epics suitable for MVP demonstrations.
  • Builds a wave-based execution plan with dependency ordering and traceability tags to PRD/SAD/DOD sources.
  • Generates specs/project-plan.md and registers it for downstream orchestration.

Quick Start

Provide the PRD and SAD (and optional DOD) documents to generate the project plan.

FAQPage Schema
How do I turn a PRD and SAD into an actionable development plan?

To turn a PRD and SAD into a development plan, this skill analyzes bootstrap artifacts and decomposes product capabilities into demo-scoped epics, producing a wave-based execution sequence with dependency ordering and traceability tags.

What is wave planning for epic decomposition?

Wave planning for epic decomposition is organizing a prioritized sequence of epics into execution waves, applying dependency-aware ordering to ensure tasks are structured logically for implementation and MVP demonstrations.

Do I need a DOD document to generate a project plan from PRD and SAD artifacts?

You do not need a DOD document to generate a project plan, as the skill accepts PRD and SAD as required inputs and processes the DOD optionally to enhance traceability and dependency contracts.

How do I map dependencies across PRD capabilities for MVP delivery?

To map dependencies across PRD capabilities, the skill normalizes bootstrap artifacts and builds a dependency graph, structuring epics into execution waves that sequence delivery based on cross-document dependency contracts.

What is the best way to sequence epics based on system design documents?

The best way to sequence epics based on system design documents is through wave decomposition, which applies dependency ordering and traceability tags to generate a structured project plan for downstream orchestration.

What are the limitations of automated project planning from bootstrap artifacts?

Automated project planning from bootstrap artifacts is limited to the post-system-design and pre-implementation phases, relying entirely on the completeness of input PRD and SAD documents to generate accurate dependency contracts and execution waves.
