SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Deliberates multi-persona perspectives to produce a checkpoint-driven implementation plan for feature work.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • PO Perspective: evaluates problem statements or research content to identify user value, acceptance criteria, scope risks, and priorities.
  • TL Perspective: assesses architecture, technical approach, risk areas, dependencies, and parallelization opportunities.
  • Deliberation Synthesis: combines viewpoints into a cohesive plan with clear tradeoffs and resolution notes.
  • Checkpoint Plan: generates 3–4 concrete checkpoints, each with goals, tasks, files to modify, success criteria, verification commands, and parallelization notes.
  • Plan Output: saves to .pipeline/{run-name}/plan.md with a structured summary, deliberation, acceptance criteria, and a feature-flag section.

Quick Start

Provide a problem statement or research.md content and run pw-deliberate to generate a checkpoint-driven plan.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a checkpoint-driven implementation plan from product research?

To create a checkpoint-driven implementation plan, provide a problem statement or research.md content to generate a plan.md containing 3-4 checkpoints with goals, files, success criteria, and verification commands. It synthesizes PO and TL perspectives to structure the plan.

What is the best way to align product and technical perspectives during feature planning?

Aligning product and technical perspectives requires a deliberation synthesis that evaluates user value and acceptance criteria from a PO view, alongside architecture and dependencies from a TL view, resolving tradeoffs into a cohesive checkpoint plan.

Can I use a GitHub issue number to generate a structured feature plan with success criteria?

Yes, you can use a GitHub issue number as input to generate a structured feature plan. The process evaluates the issue to produce a plan.md featuring 3-4 checkpoints, each with specific goals, tasks, files to modify, and verification commands.

Does feature planning work with parallelization opportunities for team collaboration?

Feature planning supports team collaboration by identifying parallelization opportunities during the technical assessment. The generated checkpoint plan includes parallelization notes for each stage, allowing team members to work on tasks concurrently.

What inputs do I need before generating a checkpoint plan for feature work?

Before generating a checkpoint plan, you need inputs such as a research.md file, problem statements, or GitHub issue numbers. These inputs are evaluated from PO and TL perspectives to produce the structured implementation plan.

How does multi-persona deliberation improve technical implementation plans?

Multi-persona deliberation improves implementation plans by combining PO scope evaluation with TL architecture assessment. This synthesis produces a plan with clear tradeoffs, resolution notes, and feature-flag sections, ensuring technical implementation aligns with product value.
