What problem does it solve? Large or vague work items cause agents and developers to start coding without direction, producing tangled implementations and missed requirements. This Skill turns a spec into a written plan with small, testable tasks, explicit dependencies, and verification checkpoints. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Structured Planning Process: Guides read-only exploration, dependency graph mapping, and vertical slicing so each task delivers working, testable functionality. - Task Templates with Acceptance Criteria: Every task includes acceptance criteria, verification steps, dependencies, files touched, and size estimates (XS through XL). - Flexible Output Targets: Writes plans to tasks/plan.md and tasks to tasks/todo.md by default, or maps tasks onto external trackers like GitHub Issues, Jira, or Linear. - Use Case: Given a spec for a user authentication feature, produce a plan that slices work into vertical tasks (registration, login, session handling) with checkpoints after each phase, instead of building the entire database layer first. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to read the feature spec and break the work into an ordered task list with acceptance criteria saved to tasks/plan.md and tasks/todo.md.
