SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Decomposes PRDs and TechSpecs into detailed, independently implementable task files with codebase-informed enrichment. This workflow helps teams convert high-level requirements into concrete, executable tasks and adds implementation context derived from the codebase.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Decompose PRDs/TechSpecs into granular, independently implementable tasks with codebase-informed enrichment.
  • Spawn Agent-style explorations to locate relevant files, patterns, and conventions and surface integration points.
  • Ensure every task is self-contained with explicit dependencies and embedded tests.
  • Produce a master _tasks.md and per-task files, referencing ADRs and TechSpecs where applicable.

Quick Start

Provide a feature name and a PRD or TechSpec file to generate a detailed task breakdown.

FAQPage Schema
How do I break down a PRD into actionable development tasks?▼

Decomposing a PRD into actionable tasks involves creating a master _tasks.md and per-task files, enriched with codebase-derived implementation context, explicit dependencies, and embedded tests for each work item.

What is codebase-informed task decomposition for TechSpecs?▼

Codebase-informed task decomposition scans your codebase to locate relevant files and conventions, ensuring each generated task file contains specific integration points and architectural patterns for maintainable implementation.

How do I generate task files that reference ADRs and TechSpecs?▼

You can generate traceable task files by inputting your TechSpec; the system enforces a strict template structure that embeds ADR references and test cases directly into each task file for traceability.

Can I use PRD decomposition for independently implementable work items?▼

Yes, PRD decomposition generates granular, independently implementable work items by ensuring every task file is self-contained with explicit dependencies and embedded tests to prevent integration conflicts.

Do I need a TechSpec to create codebase-enriched task files?▼

You need either a PRD or a TechSpec to create codebase-enriched task files. The workflow activates whenever a specification document exists and requires breakdown into executable tasks with implementation context.

Why do generated task files need embedded tests and explicit dependencies?▼

Generated task files require embedded tests and explicit dependencies to guarantee traceable, testable, and maintainable work items, allowing developers to execute each self-contained task without breaking existing codebase integration.
