SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the creation of detailed, properly-sized implementation tasks directly from technical specifications, bridging the gap between design and execution.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Task Generation: Translates requirements and design documents into granular, actionable work items.
  • Sizing & Prioritization: Ensures tasks are appropriately sized (1-3 hours) and logically sequenced.
  • Use Case: After a feature's design is approved, use this Skill to break down the implementation into a clear, step-by-step plan that developers can immediately begin working on.

Quick Start

Generate implementation tasks for the 'user-authentication' feature.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate actionable implementation tasks from technical specifications?▼

To generate implementation tasks from technical specifications, this Skill translates approved requirements and design components into executable work items. It scopes tasks to feature directories and utilizes project-wide context to ensure full requirements coverage.

What is the best way to break down spec-driven development designs into developer tasks?▼

The best way to break down spec-driven development designs is to map design components into hierarchically structured work items. This process ensures tasks are properly sized for 1-3 hours of work and logically sequenced for immediate developer execution.

Can I scope generated tasks to specific feature directories?▼

Yes, you can scope generated tasks to specific feature directories within `docs/tasks/`. The Skill organizes the actionable work items into these directories while pulling project-wide context from `docs/steering/`.

How do I ensure generated tasks are appropriately sized for developers?▼

To ensure tasks are appropriately sized, the Skill automatically scopes and structures generated work items to fit within a 1-3 hour execution window. This sizing happens during the translation of approved specifications into granular tasks.

Does spec-driven development task generation require project-wide context?▼

Yes, spec-driven development task generation utilizes project-wide context from `docs/steering/` to accurately map requirements. This ensures the generated executable work items align with the broader project architecture and constraints.

When do I need to map requirements into executable work items?▼

You need to map requirements into executable work items after a feature's design is approved. This bridges the gap between design and execution by creating a clear, step-by-step implementation plan for developers.
