SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps teams plan and break down feature work from scattered specs and research, providing a repeatable, gate-checked roadmap.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Gate-checked planning workflow: verify research readiness, alignment with specs, and architecture considerations before proceeding to task creation.
  • Phase-driven documentation: outputs plan.yaml, tasks.yaml, and supporting docs; tracks status updates and risk management.
  • Rich task breakdown: organizes work into actionable phases with testing and risk mapping, enabling incremental delivery.

Quick Start

Run the planner to generate a plan and tasks from specs and research.

FAQPage Schema
How do I break down software features from specs into actionable tasks?

Gate-checked planning verifies research readiness, spec alignment, and architecture considerations before task creation. This skill enforces these gate checks to ensure feature specs are fully validated before generating tasks.

What is a gate-checked planning workflow for feature management?

Gate-checked planning verifies research readiness, spec alignment, and architecture considerations before task creation. This skill enforces these gate checks to ensure feature specs are fully validated before generating tasks.

Can I generate plan.yaml and tasks.yaml documentation from scattered research?

Yes, you can generate plan.yaml and tasks.yaml from scattered specs and research. The workflow creates phase-driven documentation, tracking status updates and providing a documented rollout and risk management plan.

Does structured feature planning support TDD and architecture design?

Structured feature planning supports TDD by organizing task breakdown with testing and risk mapping. It incorporates architecture design considerations during the gate-check phase before proceeding to task decomposition.

When do I need a structured workflow for feature-driven project planning?

You need a structured workflow for feature-driven projects requiring gate-checked planning. It is applicable when decomposing complex features requiring architecture design, risk management, and incremental delivery phases.
