SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill transforms a completed PRD into an executable Todo List (task.md) so developers can implement features directly from the product spec.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Reads the PRD from .agent/docs/PRD.md and the TASK_TEMPLATE.md from .agent/templates/TASK_TEMPLATE.md.
  • Breaks down features into granular tasks such that each task can be completed with a single code change.
  • Creates or updates .agent/task.md with tasks listed as [ ] (incomplete) and records a concise history in .agent/HISTORY.md.

Quick Start

Read the PRD from .agent/docs/PRD.md and generate an initial task set using .agent/templates/TASK_TEMPLATE.md, then create or update .agent/task.md with tasks marked as [ ] and record a concise summary in .agent/HISTORY.md.

FAQPage Schema
How do I convert a PRD into an actionable todo list for developers?

Converting a PRD into an actionable todo list requires breaking down product requirements into granular tasks. This Skill reads .agent/docs/PRD.md, applies a task template, and outputs .agent/task.md with checkbox items sized for single code changes.

What is the best way to break down product features into granular development tasks?

Breaking down product features into granular development tasks involves mapping dependencies and verification plans. This Skill processes your PRD and generates tasks where each item is specifically scoped to be completed with a single code change.

Does Task Architect require a specific file structure to generate a task list?

Yes, generating a task list requires a specific file structure. You must place your completed PRD at .agent/docs/PRD.md and provide a TASK_TEMPLATE.md file in .agent/templates/ for the Skill to process correctly.

How does task history tracking work when updating a project todo list?

Task history tracking records concise summaries of updates when modifying a project todo list. This Skill automatically logs changes in .agent/HISTORY.md while creating or updating your development tasks in .agent/task.md.

Can I use this to order feature dependencies in my project planning workflow?

Yes, you can use this for project planning to order feature dependencies. It handles end-to-end product development workflows by applying dependency ordering and verification plans directly from your PRD to the generated task list.
