SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Turning an approved Requirements document into a structured, executable project plan is error-prone when done ad hoc. This Skill drives the rad-orchestration planning pipeline end to end: it resolves the project, collects the operator's tier and sizing choices, authors the Master Plan, optionally audits it, and explodes it into phase and task files. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Guided planning pipeline: Resolves the project directory and Requirements doc via the radorch CLI, then runs a single human checkpoint for review-intensity tier, task size, and audit preference. - Master Plan authoring: Authors the Master Plan inline from the Requirements doc, applying the chosen task-sizing rubric, then explodes it into phases/ and tasks/ directories. - Iterative plan audit: Dispatches up to three audit subagent passes against four lenses (Accurate, Consistent, Coherent, Complete), applies fixes inline, and regenerates the exploded plan after corrections. - Use Case: After finishing /rad-brainstorm and approving a Requirements doc for a project like "DAG-PIPELINE-2", run this Skill to produce a fully planned, audited, task-level breakdown ready for /rad-execute. ## Quick Start Run /rad-plan with your project name and template tier, for example: plan the project DAG-PIPELINE-2 using the extra-high template.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a project plan from a requirements document?▼

Run /rad-plan with the project name and a template tier after your Requirements doc is approved. The skill resolves the project via the radorch CLI, asks for review intensity, task size, and audit preference, then authors the Master Plan and explodes it into phases and tasks.

What review-intensity tiers does the planning pipeline support?▼

Four shipped tiers are supported: low (final review only), medium (phase plus final review), high (per-task plus final review), and extra-high (per-task, phase, and final review). Custom process templates are not supported.

Can I define a custom task size instead of the preset options?▼

Yes. When asked for phase and task size, you can answer with free-form prose such as 'each task is a single React component including tests'. Your own words are treated as the authoritative task-scope target when the Master Plan is authored.

How does the plan audit work and how many passes run?▼

The audit dispatches a general-purpose subagent that reviews the Requirements doc and Master Plan against four lenses: Accurate, Consistent, Coherent, and Complete. Up to three passes can run, with fixes applied inline between passes and a follow-up gate asking whether another pass is warranted.

Does rad-plan start executing the project automatically?▼

No. The skill ends once the plan is written, exploded, and audited. It asks whether you want to proceed, and only invokes /rad-execute with your project name if you confirm.

What happens if the Master Plan fails to parse during explosion?▼

If the plan explode command exits with code 2, the skill halts and surfaces the structured error payload containing the line, expected value, found value, and message. It does not retry the parse in-skill.
