SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Structured task planning with clear breakdowns, dependencies, and verification criteria helps teams coordinate multi-step software work and reduce rework, ambiguity, and delivery risk.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Enforces a max of 10 tasks per plan, with each task sized for 2-5 minutes.
  • Produces a {task-slug}.md plan containing INPUT, OUTPUT, and VERIFY for every task.
  • Explicitly defines dependencies and routes work to the appropriate project-type agent (frontend, backend, mobile, or database).
  • Suitable for new projects, feature additions, bug fixes, and refactors that require disciplined planning.

Quick Start

Describe your goal and scope, and the planner will generate a {task-slug}.md plan.

Frequently Asked Questions about project-planner

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I break down complex software work into verifiable tasks with clear dependencies?▼

Task decomposition for complex software work splits requests into 2-5 minute verifiable tasks with explicit dependencies. It generates a {task-slug}.md plan enforcing INPUT, OUTPUT, and VERIFY criteria for each step to reduce ambiguity and delivery risk.

What's the best way to plan a refactoring project without losing track of dependencies?▼

Planning a refactoring project requires routing work to the appropriate project-type agent, such as frontend or backend. The planner enforces a maximum of 10 tasks per plan, sizing each task for 2-5 minutes with explicit dependency definitions to prevent scope creep.

Can I use structured task planning for both new feature additions and bug fixes?▼

Structured task planning supports new projects, feature additions, bug fixes, and refactors. It applies disciplined planning by producing a markdown plan with verifiable tasks, ensuring every task includes explicit INPUT, OUTPUT, and VERIFY stages for comprehensive coverage.

How does the INPUT OUTPUT VERIFY format work for software project management?▼

The INPUT, OUTPUT, and VERIFY format defines expected inputs, desired outputs, and verification criteria for every task in a plan. This structured task decomposition enforces 2-5 minute task sizes and produces a markdown file to coordinate multi-step software work and reduce rework.

Are there limitations on how many tasks I can generate for a single feature work plan?▼

Feature work plans enforce a maximum limit of 10 tasks per plan. Each task is constrained to a 2-5 minute execution window to maintain strict scope control and ensure verifiable task decomposition without overwhelming the project-type routing agents.
