SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the conversion of Product Requirement Documents (PRDs) into structured, actionable "beads" (tasks) for the ralph-tui execution environment, streamlining the development workflow.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • PRD to Bead Conversion: Transforms markdown PRDs into an epic with child beads for each user story.
  • Quality Gate Integration: Extracts and appends quality gates to each bead's acceptance criteria.
  • Dependency Management: Automatically sets up dependencies between beads based on a logical workflow (schema -> backend -> UI).
  • Use Case: You have a new feature defined in a PRD. This Skill will break it down into manageable tasks (beads), assign priorities, define acceptance criteria including automated checks, and set up the order of execution, ready for ralph-tui to process.

Quick Start

Use the ralph-tui-create-beads skill to convert the PRD in 'feature-x.md' into beads.

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I convert a Product Requirement Document into actionable tasks?

Converting a Product Requirement Document into actionable tasks is done by extracting user stories and quality gates to create structured epic and child beads. This structures your requirements into sequential, right-sized units ready for iterative execution.

How do I set up task dependencies for sequential execution from a PRD?

Task dependencies for sequential execution are established by linking generated child beads based on a logical workflow. This ensures your development schema, backend, and UI beads execute in the correct order.

Can I append quality gates to acceptance criteria when generating tasks from a PRD?

You can append quality gates to acceptance criteria during task generation by extracting them directly from the PRD. These gates are integrated into each child bead to enforce automated checks before completion.

What is the best way to right-size user stories for single-iteration completion?

Right-sizing user stories for single-iteration completion involves breaking down PRD requirements into manageable child beads. This ensures each generated task is scoped precisely for one iteration without overflowing.

Do I need markdown PRDs to generate agile task beads?

You need markdown PRDs to generate agile task beads, as the conversion process parses markdown documents to extract user stories and quality gates. This format provides the structured input required for accurate task generation.

Why does ralph-tui-create-beads generate an epic with child beads instead of flat tasks?

Generating an epic with child beads instead of flat tasks creates a hierarchical structure that maps directly to your PRD. This parent-child relationship maintains logical workflow dependencies and ensures right-sized story management.
