SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill eliminates the risk of missing critical steps like compatibility checks, validation, and rollback planning when turning approved Gear/Vara specs and architecture into implementation plans for Sails and Gear projects.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Dependency-Ordered Task Breakdown: Splits approved specs into small, reviewable tasks with clear handoff points, aligned with TDD and frequent commit practices.
  • Comprehensive Contract Change Coverage: Automatically includes compatibility reviews, generated client updates, and frontend/indexer cutover tasks for work targeting released or updated contract versions.
  • Built-in Risk Mitigation: Attaches explicit verification steps, gtest expectations, and rollback notes to each task to reduce implementation risk for stateful changes.
  • Use Case: For a team building a new feature for an existing Vara Sails app with approved architecture, this Skill generates a complete task plan that covers coding, testing, client updates, and rollback steps for the change.

Quick Start

Use the task-decomposer skill to turn your approved Gear or Vara Sails spec and architecture into a detailed, ordered implementation plan with all required validation and compatibility steps.

FAQPage Schema
How do I break down Gear or Vara specs into implementation tasks?

To break down Gear or Vara specs into implementation tasks, you can use a task decomposition workflow that splits approved specifications into ordered, reviewable tasks with explicit verification steps and rollback planning. This ensures all coding, testing, and compatibility steps are covered.

What is dependency-ordered task breakdown for Sails development?

Dependency-ordered task breakdown for Sails development is the process of splitting approved architecture artifacts into small, reviewable tasks with clear handoff points. It aligns with TDD and frequent commit practices to structure implementation plans sequentially.

How do I plan rollback steps for stateful changes in Vara contracts?

Planning rollback steps for stateful changes in Vara contracts involves attaching explicit rollback notes to each decomposed implementation task. This reduces implementation risk by ensuring mitigation strategies are documented alongside verification steps and gtest expectations.

Does task decomposition handle contract compatibility for updated Gear apps?

Task decomposition for updated Gear apps automatically includes contract compatibility reviews, generated client updates, and frontend or indexer cutover tasks. This ensures released contract versions receive comprehensive coverage during implementation planning.

Can I integrate gtest expectations into my Gear implementation plan?

Yes, you can integrate gtest expectations into a Gear implementation plan by generating tasks that explicitly attach gtest requirements to each step. This validates stateful changes and ensures verification steps are actionable during development.

What's the best way to plan a new feature build for an existing Vara Sails app?

The best way to plan a new feature build for an existing Vara Sails app is to generate a complete, dependency-ordered task plan from approved architecture. This covers coding, testing, client updates, and rollback steps for the change.
