SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill converts vague project goals and PRD bullets into well-defined, actionable tasks that engineers can implement without back-and-forth clarification.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured task templates with deliverables, context, and decisions
  • Acceptance criteria written as Given-When-Then and edge-case coverage
  • SPIDR-based splitting guidance to ensure vertical slices
  • INVEST-compliant sizing checks to keep tasks under one day

Quick Start

Provide a PRD excerpt or user story and ask the skill to generate a compact, vertical task breakdown. Example: "Create tasks for the signup flow based on the PRD section 'User Onboarding'."

FAQPage Schema
How do I convert vague PRD bullets into actionable engineering tasks?▼

To convert vague PRD bullets into actionable engineering tasks, provide your project goals to generate a structured template with deliverables, context, acceptance criteria, and a verification plan. This ensures engineers can implement requirements without back-and-forth clarification.

What is the best way to write acceptance criteria using Given-When-Then for feature scoping?▼

Writing acceptance criteria using Given-When-Then for feature scoping involves generating structured task templates that include edge-case coverage and verification plans. This approach validates vertical scope and task size to ensure requirements are testable and clearly defined.

How can I check if my user stories are INVEST-compliant for sprint planning?▼

Checking if user stories are INVEST-compliant for sprint planning requires applying INVEST-compliant sizing checks to your tasks. This validates that each task remains under one day and maintains a vertical slice, ensuring your sprint backlog is properly scoped and actionable.

When do I need SPIDR-based splitting guidance for requirement-to-task conversion?▼

You need SPIDR-based splitting guidance for requirement-to-task conversion when vague project goals must be broken down into well-defined, vertical slices. This ensures your feature scoping produces compact, actionable tasks that engineering teams can implement independently.

Does tasking work with example mapping for sprint planning and feature breakdown?▼

Tasking works with example mapping for sprint planning by applying structured task templates and SPIDR-based splitting guidance to your examples. This integration converts mapped examples into INVEST-compliant tasks with clear deliverables and Given-When-Then acceptance criteria.
