SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill converts change proposals, specs, and design documents into a structured, phase-based tasks.md, enabling teams to execute changes with a clear implementation plan.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Generating a phased tasks.md from proposal, specs, and design inputs.
  • Ensures tasks are concrete, actionable, and traceable across phases (Phase 1..Phase 4).
  • Supports integration with Engram/OpenSpec storage workflows and persistence.

Quick Start

Provide the change name and relevant documents; the skill will output a ready-to-use tasks.md.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate actionable tasks from a change proposal and design documents?

Generating actionable tasks from change proposals requires converting specs and designs into a structured, phase-based tasks.md file. This skill automates that breakdown, producing concrete implementation and testing tasks traceable across project phases.

What is phase-based task breakdown for software changes?

Phase-based task breakdown organizes implementation work into sequential stages, typically Phase 1 through Phase 4. It transforms specs and design documents into structured tasks.md outputs, ensuring changes are actionable, traceable, and coordinated across project phases.

How do I create a tasks.md checklist for a system rewrite?

Creating a tasks.md checklist for a system rewrite involves structuring change proposals into phase-based tasks. You provide the change name and relevant documents, and the skill outputs a ready-to-use, structured task breakdown formatted for implementation and testing.

Can I persist generated task checklists in OpenSpec or Engram backends?

Yes, generated task checklists can be persisted in Engram or OpenSpec backends. The skill ensures the output tasks.md adheres to the required sdd task format, supporting direct integration with these storage workflows and project coordination environments.

Does generating phase-based tasks work for feature updates and software changes?

Generating phase-based tasks supports software changes, feature updates, and system rewrites. The skill applies change proposals and specs to produce concrete, actionable tasks formatted for implementation and testing across all defined phases.

What do I need to provide to generate a phase-based task checklist?

You need to provide the change name and relevant design or specification documents. No dependencies are required; the skill processes these inputs to automatically output a ready-to-use, structured tasks.md file formatted for project coordination.
