SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill converts a task analysis into a single, structured docs/todolist.md to guide multi-loop implementation, providing a clear execution plan with [x]/[ ] markers and alignment artifacts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Produces a single working todo file at docs/todolist.md to capture evolving definitions, interfaces, tests, and implementation slices.
  • Emphasizes a definitions-first approach, ensuring canonical docs remain the source of truth and todos reference them.
  • Includes a loop-based workflow with Loop Contracts and a dedicated review flow to coordinate multi-stage engineering tasks.

Quick Start

Create a new docs/todolist.md from your current task analysis and begin populating it with an initial set of [x]/[ ] items following the defined structure.

FAQPage Schema
How do I convert task analysis into a structured todo document for software engineering?

To convert task analysis into a structured todo document, the skill generates a single docs/todolist.md file. This file captures evolving definitions, interfaces, tests, and implementation slices using [x]/[ ] markers to guide multi-loop execution.

What is a loop-contracted review process for project management?

A loop-contracted review process is a multi-stage engineering workflow mechanism that coordinates task execution through defined loop contracts. It ensures structured review cycles guide implementation tasks after initial alignment is achieved.

How do I maintain canonical documentation while tracking implementation tasks?

To maintain canonical documentation while tracking tasks, the approach uses a definitions-first method. It ensures canonical docs remain the source of truth, while the generated todolist.md references these definitions rather than duplicating them.

Can I use a single todolist.md file for multi-loop implementation tasks?

Yes, you can use a single todolist.md file for multi-loop implementation tasks. The workflow enforces a single working file at docs/todolist.md to capture evolving definitions, interfaces, tests, and execution slices throughout the project lifecycle.

What's the best way to prepare a docs/todolist.md after task alignment?

The best way to prepare a docs/todolist.md after task alignment is to populate it with an initial set of [x]/[ ] items following the defined structure. This creates a clear execution plan with alignment artifacts for multi-loop implementation.

When do I need a definitions-first approach for task analysis todos?

You need a definitions-first approach for task analysis todos when large tasks require clear definitions, tests, and execution slices. It ensures canonical docs remain the source of truth and that todos reference them accurately during multi-loop implementation.
