SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Coordinating complex work often requires bespoke handoffs; this Skill provides a repeatable pattern to turn requests into deterministic task packs with explicit plan.md and work-breakdown.md so agents can execute without guesswork.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Generate plan.md and work-breakdown.md for each new task under tasks/
  • Enforce explicit phase boundaries, required readings, and agent-tier assignments
  • Suit processes like feature work, fixes, docs, releases, cleanup, or refactor tasks across Clawperator surfaces (Android operator APK, Node CLI, docs, skills, releases)

Quick Start

Create a new task under tasks/ and run the task-author workflow to generate plan.md and work-breakdown.md.

FAQPage Schema
How do I turn feature requests into executable task packs for agents?

To turn feature requests into executable task packs, generate a plan.md and work-breakdown.md under tasks/. This creates durable, deterministic outputs with explicit phase boundaries and required readings for reliable agent handoffs.

What is a work-breakdown structure for deterministic agent handoffs?

A deterministic work-breakdown structure maps a request into explicit phase boundaries, required readings, and agent-tier assignments. It lives in work-breakdown.md, enabling a weaker agent to implement complex refactors or features without guesswork.

How do I generate a plan.md for a codebase refactor or feature work?

Generate a plan.md by running the task-author workflow on a request under tasks/. It enforces explicit phase boundaries and preserves surface ownership, ensuring deterministic outputs for processes like cleanup, releases, or feature work.

Can I use task packs to coordinate fixes across Android APK and Node CLI surfaces?

Yes, task packs support coordinating fixes and features across Clawperator components like the Android operator APK and Node CLI. The generated plan preserves surface ownership and decision boundaries for reliable execution by weaker agents.

What are the limitations of using deterministic task packs for complex work?

Deterministic task packs require strict adherence to explicit phase boundaries and required readings. If a weaker agent bypasses these structured handoffs or the generated work-breakdown.md, the deterministic execution and reliable review process will fail.

When do I need a plan.md and work-breakdown.md for task execution?

You need a plan.md and work-breakdown.md when coordinating complex work like docs, releases, or refactors that require reliable agent handoffs. These files define explicit phase boundaries and deterministic outputs to eliminate guesswork during execution.
