What problem does it solve?

This skill helps teams tighten and normalize STP task cards without altering the underlying issue intent or lifecycle boundaries.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Normalize STP structure and field shape
  • Tighten goal, required outcome, acceptance criteria, and scope
  • Remove placeholders and mismatched wording to preserve intent and lifecycle boundaries
  • Stop before branch/worktree actions, implementation, or output-card authoring

Quick Start

Read the STP, preserve scope and milestone context, and emit a structured edit result.

FAQPage Schema
How do I normalize task card structure without changing the original issue intent?

Normalize task cards by applying a bounded, template-safe editing approach that tightens goals, acceptance criteria, and scope while strictly preserving the original issue intent and lifecycle boundaries.

What is the best way to tighten acceptance criteria and scope in a prompt-template task card?

Tightening acceptance criteria in a prompt-template task card involves removing placeholders and mismatched wording, clarifying required outcomes, and stopping before any branch, worktree, or implementation actions are taken.

Can I use structured editing to remove placeholders from STP documents without triggering implementation?

Yes, you can use structured editing to remove placeholders from STP documents. The process validates constraints and explicitly stops before executing branch, worktree, implementation, or output-card authoring actions.

Does STP document normalization support validation of field shape and milestone context?

STP document normalization supports validation of field shape and milestone context. It reads the STP, preserves scope, validates constraints, and outputs a concise edited STP at the specified target location.

What are the limitations of bounded editing for task cards?

The limitation of bounded editing for task cards is that it stops before branch or worktree actions, implementation, or output-card authoring, ensuring the tool only normalizes structure and wording without writing code.
