SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Convert project proposals into a detailed, executable development plan that defines scope, milestones, risks, and deliverables.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Extract scope, milestones, risks, and deliverables from proposals to form a concrete plan.
  • Map requirements to tasks, owners, and timelines, aligned with existing templates and conventions.
  • Generate the plan document at docs/projects/$1/plan.md using the PLAN.template.md and, if present, ground decisions with a design-resolution.

Quick Start

Supply the target proposal path (e.g., docs/projects/$1/proposal.md) and generate a complete development plan at docs/projects/$1/plan.md using the PLAN.template.md.

FAQPage Schema
How do I convert a project proposal into a development plan with milestones and tasks?

To convert a project proposal into a development plan, this Skill extracts scope and requirements from your proposal markdown file, then enumerates milestones, tasks, owners, and risks into an actionable plan document.

What is the best way to map proposal requirements to project owners and timelines?

Mapping proposal requirements to project owners and timelines is handled by reading your proposal and optional design-resolution files, extracting the defined scope, and generating a structured plan using a predefined template.

Can I generate a development plan from a markdown proposal without manually defining risks?

Yes, you can generate a development plan from a markdown proposal without manual risk definition. The process automatically identifies and enumerates project risks alongside deliverables and milestones from the existing proposal text.

Does the plan generation process require a design-resolution document to work?

The plan generation process does not require a design-resolution document to function. It grounds decisions primarily in the proposal file, but will incorporate the design-resolution document if one is present in the project directory.

How do I structure a project roadmap from an existing proposal file?

Structuring a project roadmap from an existing proposal file involves analyzing the proposal content for scope and deliverables, then applying a standardized plan template to produce a formatted markdown roadmap at a specified project path.

What limitations exist when generating a development plan from a proposal?

A key limitation is that the generated development plan relies entirely on the scope and requirements present in the source proposal and design-resolution markdown files, meaning incomplete input will result in an incomplete plan.
