SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill solves the ambiguity and lack of structure often found when transitioning from a high-level technical specification to actual implementation, ensuring every contract item is accounted for and traceable.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Contract Coverage Verification: Automatically maps spec requirements to implementation tasks to prevent missing features.
  • Task Decomposition: Breaks complex specs into manageable foundation tasks and vertical slices.
  • Autonomy Classification: Categorizes work into AFK, Checkpoint, or HITL to optimize developer workflow and human oversight.

Quick Start

Use the spec-to-tasks skill to decompose the current accepted specification into a set of Trekker tasks and verify full contract coverage.

FAQPage Schema
How do I decompose a technical specification into actionable development tasks?▼

Decomposing a technical specification into actionable development tasks requires mapping requirements to foundation tasks and vertical slices. This process ensures every contract item is granular, traceable, and ordered by dependencies for seamless execution.

What is contract coverage verification in software development?▼

Contract coverage verification is the process of automatically mapping specification requirements to implementation tasks. It prevents missing features during the transition from design to execution by generating a structured task graph and coverage matrix.

How do I break complex specs into manageable vertical slices?▼

Breaking complex specs into manageable vertical slices involves task decomposition to identify foundation work first. This approach categorizes implementation tasks into AFK, Checkpoint, or HITL workflows to optimize developer autonomy and human oversight.

Do I need an accepted specification document to generate a task graph?▼

Yes, an accepted specification document is required as input to generate a structured task graph. The specification provides the necessary contract items that are mapped to implementation tasks for dependency ordering and coverage verification.

What is the best way to ensure traceability from design to execution?▼

Ensuring traceability from design to execution is best achieved by mapping spec requirements to a structured task graph and coverage matrix. This approach categorizes work into AFK, Checkpoint, or HITL to maintain developer workflow oversight.

Why does task decomposition classify work into AFK, Checkpoint, or HITL?▼

Task decomposition classifies work into AFK, Checkpoint, or HITL to optimize developer workflow and human oversight. This autonomy classification ensures complex software projects have the right balance of automated execution and manual review.
