SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill guides teams from a design plan to a concrete implementation plan, establishing isolated branches and a clear handoff to execution.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Branch setup and workspace isolation through a structured orchestration of planning tasks.
  • Design-to-implementation handoff with gated progression and context preservation.
  • Optional worktree integration via the dedicated sub-skill for safe, isolated development.

Quick Start

Start by providing the path to a design plan file (e.g., docs/design-plans/2025-01-18-your-design.md) to begin generating an implementation plan and execution handoff.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create an implementation plan from a design document?

Creating an implementation plan from a design document requires providing an explicit file path to the design plan. The system then orchestrates a multi-step planning process that generates a concrete implementation plan with structured task tracking and gated execution handoff.

What is the best way to isolate development workspaces when starting a new implementation plan?

Isolating development workspaces during implementation planning is best handled through git worktrees. This approach creates isolated branches and safe workspaces, ensuring structured orchestration of planning tasks without disrupting the main development environment.

How does design-to-implementation handoff preserve context for execution?

Design-to-implementation handoff preserves context by applying gated progression from a multi-step planning process to execution. It enforces structured task tracking to maintain context integrity throughout the formal transition from planning to actual development.

Do I need a specific file path to start the implementation planning process?

Yes, you need an explicit file path to start the implementation planning process. You must locate and provide the path to your design document, such as docs/design-plans/your-design.md, to initiate the branch setup and orchestration workflow.

Can I use this implementation planning workflow without git worktrees?

Yes, you can use this implementation planning workflow without git worktrees. Git worktrees are an optional integration for safe, isolated development, while the core branch setup, multi-step planning, and formal execution handoff function independently.
