SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill converts research findings into phased implementation plans, enabling teams to move from insight to execution without ambiguity.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured planning: Decompose research outputs into logical phases with milestones and responsibilities.
  • Delegated planning: Leverage a planner-agent subagent to generate the plan and associated metadata.
  • Postflight artifacts: Produce a return metadata file and plan artifacts for traceability.

Quick Start

Run the planner on your first research finding to generate a phased implementation plan and the corresponding plan document.

FAQPage Schema
How do I convert research findings into a phased implementation plan?

To convert research findings into a phased implementation plan, you need structured planning that decomposes outputs into logical phases with milestones. This approach targets tasks requiring structured planning across projects, teams, and handoffs, moving teams from insight to execution without ambiguity.

What is task breakdown in project management and when do I need it?

Task breakdown in project management is the process of decomposing complex research outputs into structured phases with defined milestones and responsibilities. You need it when moving from research insights to execution, especially for projects requiring structured planning across teams and handoffs.

How do I generate a plan file from research briefs using a planner agent?

You can generate a specs-based plan file from research briefs by delegating planning to a planner-agent subagent. This delegated planning mechanism generates the plan document and associated metadata, creating postflight artifacts for traceability across multiple research briefs.

Can I create milestones and responsibilities for cross-team project handoffs?

Yes, you can create milestones and responsibilities for cross-team project handoffs through structured planning. This process decomposes research outputs into logical phases, enabling teams to transition from insight to execution with clear responsibilities and traceable plan artifacts.

What is the best way to structure project planning for multiple research briefs?

The best way to structure project planning for multiple research briefs is through phased implementation plans with repeated use across briefs. This approach leverages a planner-agent to generate plan files and return metadata, ensuring structured planning and traceability for each research finding.

What artifacts are produced when generating an implementation plan from research?

When generating an implementation plan from research, the process produces postflight artifacts including a return metadata file and the plan document itself. These artifacts ensure traceability and accompany the phased implementation plan created by the planner-agent.
