SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the creation of a detailed task breakdown for a software development change, streamlining the transition from proposal to implementation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Task Breakdown Automation: Automatically generates a tasks.md file with a checklist of implementation steps based on the project proposal, specs, and design.
  • Flexible Modes: Supports three modes (engram, openspec, hybrid, none) for reading and writing project files.
  • Task File Creation: Creates task files in the project directory or in memory based on the chosen mode.
  • Task Writing Rules: Ensures each task is specific, actionable, verifiable, and small, following a structured format.

Quick Start

To create a task breakdown for a change, run the 'sdd-tasks' skill with the relevant change name.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate task breakdown creation for software development changes?

To automate task breakdown creation, this Skill processes project proposals, specs, and designs to generate a structured tasks.md checklist. It streamlines the transition from proposal to implementation by automatically creating actionable and verifiable steps.

What is SDD task breakdown and when do I need it for project automation?

SDD task breakdown is the process of converting software development change proposals into a structured checklist of implementation steps. You need it when transitioning from design specs to actual coding to ensure tasks are specific, actionable, verifiable, and small.

Can I use different storage modes for project files when generating a task list?

Yes, task generation supports three flexible modes: engram, openspec, and hybrid. These modes determine how project artifacts are read and written, allowing task files to be created either directly in the project directory or in memory.

What's the best way to structure implementation steps from a project proposal?

The best way to structure implementation steps is by following task writing rules that ensure each step is specific, actionable, verifiable, and small. This structured format generates a tasks.md file that clearly guides the software development process.

Do I need existing specs and designs to generate a software development task list?

Yes, you need existing project proposals, specs, and designs to generate an accurate task list. The Skill processes these artifacts to automatically create a detailed breakdown of implementation steps tailored to your specific software change.
