SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Turning a project goal into an actionable plan often produces vague tasks with no clear completion criteria or ordering. This Skill produces a plan in the exact fenced todero-plan block format that the Todero platform parses, with three to seven features and four to twelve tasks, each carrying a done-when line and dependency ordering. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Fixed plan block format: Outputs a single fenced block with a goal, features (name, why, done_when), and tasks (title, feature, output, optional after) that Todero parses directly. - Ordering rules: Enforces foundation-first, data-before-UI, core-before-edge, and shared-before-specific sequencing, using after only for true dependencies so independent features run in parallel. - Done-when discipline: Requires every feature to carry a done-when line and every task to name the check a reviewer looks at, splitting any feature with four or more separate checks. - Use Case: A product lead asks an agent to plan a new note-taking app; the agent returns a parseable plan block with six features, ten ordered tasks, and up to three open questions with recommended answers. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to plan your project using the todero plan block format, stating your goal in one sentence.

FAQPage Schema
How do I write a project plan that Todero can parse?

Write the plan inside one fenced todero-plan block containing a goal line, a features list with name, why, and done_when fields, and a tasks list with title, feature, output, and optional after fields. Keep three to seven features and four to twelve tasks.

How to order tasks in a project plan with dependencies?

Use the after field only when a task truly cannot start until another task is handed in. Follow the ordering rules: foundation first, data before UI, core before edge, and shared before specific. Tasks without after run in parallel.

What is a done-when line in task planning?

A done-when line is a single sentence on each feature stating how reviewers know the work is finished. Every task commits to that line through its output field, which names the one check a reviewer looks at to confirm completion.

When should a feature be split into multiple features?

Split a feature when its done-when line contains four or more separate checks, since that indicates two features wearing one name. Each resulting feature gets its own focused done-when line and task set.

What are the limitations of the Todero plan block format?

The format caps plans at seven features and twelve tasks, allows at most three closing questions, and forbids extra prose inside the block. It suits scoped project plans, not large multi-phase programs requiring nested hierarchies.
