What problem does it solve?

Accurately estimating software task complexity is challenging, often leading to missed deadlines, scope creep, and resource misallocation. This Skill provides a structured framework to set realistic expectations.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • T-Shirt Sizing Framework: Categorize tasks into XS, S, M, L, XL based on a scoring system.
  • Scoring Criteria: Evaluate tasks across factors like files touched, new concepts, integration points, data changes, and regression risk.
  • Risk Categories & Spike Indicators: Identify technical, integration, data, timeline, and security risks, and determine when a spike/POC is needed.
  • Use Case: Estimate the effort for a new feature like "Add user authentication with OAuth," decide if a spike is needed for a complex integration, or set expectations at the start of a project.

Quick Start

Estimate the complexity of adding user authentication with OAuth, considering files, new concepts, and integration points.
