What problem does it solve?

Automates converting a Markdown implementation plan into a Trello-style execution package, removing manual handoffs and duplication.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Generates self-contained task cards from a plan while enforcing a max of four story points per card and about four hours per card.
  • Creates a kanban.json as the execution single source of truth and derives state.json and progress.md to reflect progress.
  • Renders a live board view and emits cards_catalog.md and trello_quality_gate.json, and can produce a notify-me handoff after package generation for review or handoff.

Quick Start

Use the split-to-tasks skill to convert IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md into a kanban package with task cards limited to four story points and approximately four hours per card.

FAQPage Schema
How do I convert a Markdown implementation plan into Trello-style task cards?

To convert a Markdown implementation plan into Trello-style task cards, you use an automated process that splits the plan into self-contained cards. It generates a kanban.json file serving as the single source of truth for execution tracking.

How does limiting story points per Kanban card work in task generation?

Limiting story points per Kanban card works by enforcing a maximum of four story points and approximately four hours per generated card. This constraint ensures each task remains self-contained and manageable for execution tracking.

What files do I need to generate a Kanban board from an implementation plan?

You need a Markdown implementation plan file to generate a Kanban board package. The process outputs kanban.json, state.json, progress.md, cards_catalog.md, and trello_quality_gate.json for tracking and review.

Can I automatically track progress using a generated kanban.json file?

Yes, you can automatically track progress using a generated kanban.json file. The package derives state.json and progress.md from the Kanban source of truth to reflect current execution status across the task cards.

What is the best way to split large project plans into smaller execution tasks?

The best way to split large project plans into smaller execution tasks is to enforce size and duration constraints during generation. Limiting cards to four story points and four hours creates self-contained tasks tracked in a Kanban board.

Are there limitations to automating task card generation from Markdown plans?

Limitations of automating task card generation include strict duration and size constraints, capping cards at four hours and four story points. Plans requiring larger continuous task blocks may not fit this structured Kanban execution model.
