SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill transforms vague ideas into actionable plans with clear scope, acceptance criteria, and execution groups, ensuring that work is well-defined before implementation begins.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured Planning: Creates detailed wish documents (WISH.md) outlining scope, decisions, and success criteria.
  • Task Decomposition: Breaks down complex work into small, manageable execution groups.
  • Use Case: You have a new feature idea. Use this Skill to define exactly what needs to be built, what's out of scope, and how success will be measured, before any code is written.

Quick Start

Use the wish skill to plan the implementation of the new user authentication flow.

FAQPage Schema
How do I define project scope and acceptance criteria before building a feature?

Task decomposition breaks complex work into small, manageable execution groups that ensure all tasks are testable and bite-sized for independent shippability before implementation begins.

How do I manage cross-project dependencies during project planning?

Cross-project dependencies are managed by declaring them within wish artifacts stored in the `.genie/wishes/` directory, ensuring executable plans track external requirements across separate work items.

What is the best way to structure a project plan for independent shippability?

The best way to structure a project plan for independent shippability is to outline scope, decisions, and success criteria in a wish document, then decompose the work into testable execution groups.

Does project scoping work without writing code first?

Yes, project scoping works before any code is written by transforming vague ideas into actionable plans with clear scope, defined acceptance criteria, and structured execution groups.
