SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Splitting a project across multiple agents, developers, or teams often leads to overlapping edits, duplicated effort, unclear ownership, and integration failures. This Skill produces a structured coordination plan that defines who owns what, what depends on what, and when work must synchronize. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Workstream Definition: Maps a project into cohesive workstreams (architecture, UI, data, accessibility, testing, documentation) with objectives, scope, deliverables, and acceptance criteria. - Dependency and Execution Mapping: Distinguishes blocking prerequisites from stable contracts that enable parallel work, and marks execution lanes (start now, start after contract, start after dependency, integration only). - Collision Prevention and Checkpoints: Assigns one owner per shared artifact, defines handoff contracts, and schedules coordination checkpoints with required evidence. - Use Case: A technical lead needs to split a web app rebuild among three agents covering frontend, API, and testing. The Skill outputs a workstream map, ownership table, dependency plan, and launch order so the agents can work in parallel without editing the same files. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to split your project into coordinated workstreams with clear ownership, dependencies, and integration checkpoints for parallel execution.

FAQPage Schema
How do I split a project into workstreams for multiple agents?▼

Provide the project scope, constraints, and available contributors, then the planner maps the work into cohesive workstreams with objectives, deliverables, and acceptance criteria. It outputs a dependency map and execution lanes showing what can start now, after a contract, or after a dependency.

How to prevent multiple agents from editing the same files?▼

Assign one primary owner per shared artifact or file area and define read-only consumers with explicit handoff contracts. The plan names likely overlapping files and designates a tie-breaker for cross-stream decisions to control collisions.

Does this skill launch or execute agents automatically?▼

No, it produces a coordination plan only and does not start agents, assign real people, edit files, or implement work. Actual orchestration requires separate capabilities with proper authorization after the plan is approved.

When should I not split a project into multiple workstreams?▼

Avoid workstream splitting when one contributor can complete the work more clearly, when only one or two cohesive outcomes exist, or when coordination cost exceeds the benefit of parallelism. In those cases, use a single-implementer implementation plan instead.

What inputs are needed to create a workstream plan?▼

Provide a project brief, requirements, acceptance criteria, architecture notes, API contracts, and repository structure. Contributor specialties, concurrency limits, deadlines, and known integration risks also improve ownership and dependency accuracy.
