SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps teams quickly categorize work items by expected effort and resources needed, reducing planning guesswork and improving throughput.

Core Features & Use Cases

Automated scale classification: Assigns a task to trivial, small, medium, or large based on defined metrics and configuration.
Workflow optimization: Guides agent assignment, parallelization, and resource planning.
Use Case: Example: A backlog item requiring minor edits should be classified as trivial and routed for direct execution.

Quick Start

Provide a task description to receive a recommended scale and corresponding workflow guidance.

FAQPage Schema

How do I classify tasks by scale to optimize workflow planning?▼

Task scale classification assigns work items to trivial, small, medium, or large categories based on defined metrics. This reduces planning guesswork by routing tasks like minor backlog edits directly to execution and guiding parallelization for larger features.

How do I categorize backlog items and feature requests by effort and resources?▼

Task scale classification evaluates backlog items, feature requests, and maintenance tasks against policy-driven criteria to assign them to trivial, small, medium, or large categories. This process reduces planning guesswork and improves team throughput.

How do I configure custom thresholds for task scaling in .claude/config.yaml?▼

Configuring custom task scaling thresholds requires defining policy-driven criteria in an optional YAML file at .claude/config.yaml. The Skill applies these settings, with optional yq parsing, to determine the boundaries for trivial, small, medium, and large categories.

Can I use task scale classification for maintenance tasks across software teams?▼

Yes, task scale classification applies to maintenance tasks across software projects and teams. It categorizes work items by expected effort and resources needed, guiding agent assignment and parallelization to improve overall workflow throughput.

What is the best way to assign agents and plan resources for software backlog items?▼

The best way to assign agents and plan resources is to classify tasks by scale first. By categorizing backlog items into trivial, small, medium, or large sizes, you optimize workflows through targeted agent assignment and parallelization based on expected effort.
