work-tracking

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a consistent structure for turning large features and initiatives into a clear parent-feature and child-work-item hierarchy so teams can plan, assign, and track work without ambiguity across systems.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Hierarchy & conventions: Clarifies the difference between parent features (epics) and child work items, with naming patterns and label guidance.
• Platform mapping: Shows how to implement the hierarchy in GitHub (issues, task lists, Projects v2) and Linear (parent/sub-issue, projects, cycles).
• Templates & estimation: Includes parent and child issue templates, estimation guidance (T-shirt sizing and story points), labeling strategy, and workflow lifecycle recommendations.
• Use cases: Breaking down a multi-component feature, preparing sprint work, creating issues for cross-team initiatives, and estimating effort for planning.

Quick Start

Create a parent feature titled 'User Authentication System' and four child work items (design database schema, implement JWT token generation, create login API endpoint, write authentication tests) formatted as GitHub issues with labels 'feature' and 'task'.
