What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines the initial handling of any new work request, ensuring that its scope is accurately assessed, necessary clarifying questions are asked, and it's efficiently routed to the correct planning or execution Skill.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Scoping: Assesses requests from trivial to massive based on unknowns, deliverables, and complexity.
  • Requirement Gathering: Prompts for essential information to define goals and success criteria.
  • Intelligent Routing: Directs work to specialized Skills like issue-prerequisite, epic-management, or initiative-architecture.
  • Use Case: When a new feature request comes in, this Skill will first check if the project board is ready, then ask about the user's goals, estimate the effort, and finally decide whether to create a single issue, an epic, or initiate a larger architectural planning process.

FAQPage Schema
How do I triage incoming work requests and assess scope automatically?▼

Work intake triage assesses incoming requests by evaluating unknowns, deliverables, and complexity, categorizing requests from trivial to massive scopes for downstream routing and processing.

What is the best way to gather requirements for a new feature request?▼

Requirement gathering is best handled by prompting for essential information to define goals, verifying project board readiness, and identifying success criteria before execution.

How do I route work requests to the right project management workflow?▼

You route work requests to the right workflow by scoping the effort first, then directing work to specialized planning skills like issue creation, epic management, or architectural planning.

Can I use automated scoping for large or massive project initiatives?▼

Yes, automated scoping supports large or massive project initiatives by identifying deliverables and unknowns, then routing the request to initiative architecture or epic management workflows.

What are the limitations of work intake and request triage automation?▼

The limitation of work intake automation is that it handles initial scoping and routing only, requiring downstream planning skills to execute the actual work once the request is categorized.
