SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Refine slice goals and sequencing to reduce ambiguity and improve plan quality across epics and slices.

Core Features & Use Cases

Iterative refinement loop that activates multiple reviewers to sharpen slice goals and sequencing.
Context-aware refinement that uses active epic context or base slices from .goodplan/slices.
Generates refined goal.md and sequencing.md alongside a refinement manifest for audit and traceability.
Supports integration with existing decision records and maturity notes to surface risks early.

Quick Start

Instruct Claude to initiate the slice refinement workflow for the current epic or slices and review the resulting refined plans.

FAQPage Schema

How do I refine slice goals and sequencing to reduce ambiguity in a plan-driven workflow?▼

Slice refinement reduces ambiguity by running an iterative review loop with multiple always-on reviewers that synthesize feedback to update goal.md and sequencing.md files. This process sharpens plan quality across active epics and slices.

What is the iterative review loop mechanism for improving plan quality across epics?▼

The iterative review loop creates working copies like goal-refining.md and sequencing-refining.md alongside a manifest for audit. It uses shared iteration-loop mechanics to guide the refinement process across relevant slices.

Can I use existing decision records and maturity notes when refining slice plans?▼

Yes, slice refinement supports integration with existing decision records and maturity notes to surface risks early. This context-aware approach ensures refined plans account for established project constraints and historical decisions.

How do I start the slice refinement workflow for my current epic?▼

Instruct Claude to initiate the slice refinement workflow for your current epic or base slices from the .goodplan/slices directory. The workflow activates automatically when an active epic or slices exist in your project context.

Does slice refinement require an active epic or existing base slices to work?▼

Yes, slice refinement applies only when an active epic or slices already exist. It uses context-aware refinement that pulls from active epic context or base slices stored in the .goodplan/slices directory.

What files are generated during the slice refinement iteration process?▼

The refinement process generates working copies named goal-refining.md and sequencing-refining.md, plus a refinement manifest for audit and traceability. Final outputs include updated goal.md and sequencing.md files across relevant slices.
