SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It turns an approved spec and plan into a self-contained tasks.md that an AI can execute next, reducing ambiguity and preventing scope drift during implementation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Self-contained tasks.md generation: produces an executable checklist for workflow-kit-implement without writing code at this stage.
  • Managed scope and blocker gating: validates that spec/plan readiness and scope.md constraints allow safe task decomposition before creating tasks.
  • Quality and verification alignment: ensures a final verification phase exists and links results into verification.md based on required templates.

Quick Start

Ask the AI to run workflow-kit-tasks for your change workspace by providing the path to the workspace containing spec.md, plan.md, and scope.md.

FAQPage Schema
How do I decompose an approved spec and plan into an executable task list?

To decompose an approved spec and plan into an executable task list, this Skill generates a self-contained tasks.md that organizes implementation steps without writing code at this stage. It reads your existing spec.md and plan.md to produce an actionable checklist for the next workflow phase.

What files are required in my workspace before generating a tasks.md workflow?

Generating a tasks.md workflow requires a change workspace containing approved spec.md, plan.md, and scope.md files. Research.md and data-model.md are optional, but managed edit boundaries and confirmation requirements must be established before task decomposition begins.

Why does task creation get blocked when scope constraints fail?

Task creation is blocked when scope constraints fail to prevent scope drift during implementation. The Skill validates that plan readiness and scope.md constraints allow safe task decomposition before generating the tasks.md file.

How do I ensure my markdown task plan includes AI agent verification steps?

To ensure your markdown task plan includes AI agent verification steps, the Skill defines a final verification phase that links results into verification.md. It uses deterministic workflow requirements to validate template availability for the next implementation stage.

Can I use this for implementation preparation without writing code?

Yes, you can use this for implementation preparation without writing code. It produces a self-contained tasks.md checklist specifically for workflow-kit-implement, ensuring quality and verification alignment while strictly avoiding actual code generation at this stage.
