SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Turning an approved spec-driven development (SDD) design into concrete, ordered implementation work is error-prone: tasks end up vague, unordered, or too large to review. This Skill converts a change's proposal, specs, and design into a structured tasks.md with dependency-ordered phases and a review workload forecast. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Phased Task Breakdown: Produces hierarchical, verifiable tasks (1.1, 1.2, ...) organized into Foundation, Core, Integration, Testing, and Cleanup phases, each referencing concrete file paths. - Review Workload Forecast: Estimates changed-line volume against a 400-line review budget and recommends chained or stacked PR splits with focused test commands, runtime harnesses, and rollback boundaries. - Multi-Mode Persistence: Supports engram, openspec, hybrid, and none artifact store modes, reading dependencies and persisting the tasks artifact accordingly. - Use Case: After an orchestrator completes the design phase for a new API feature, this sub-agent generates tasks.md with RED-test-first tasks derived from the threat matrix, plus a PR-chaining recommendation when the change exceeds the review budget. ## Quick Start Ask the orchestrator to run task planning for your approved SDD change so it delegates to the sdd-tasks sub-agent and produces a tasks.md breakdown.

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I break an SDD change into implementation tasks?▼

Run task planning through the orchestrator, which delegates to the sdd-tasks sub-agent. It reads the change's proposal, specs, and design, then writes a tasks.md with phased, dependency-ordered checklist items referencing concrete file paths.

What is a review workload forecast in task planning?▼

It is an estimate of changed lines compared against a 400-line review budget. If risk is High, the tasks artifact recommends chained PRs, splits work into units with focused test commands and rollback boundaries, and records the chosen chain strategy.

Does sdd-tasks support OpenSpec and Engram artifact storage?▼

Yes, it supports four modes: engram, openspec, hybrid, and none. Openspec and hybrid write tasks.md to openspec/changes/{change-name}/, while engram persists to the sdd/{change-name}/tasks topic and none returns the result inline only.

Can I invoke the sdd-tasks skill directly as a user?▼

No, it is marked user-invocable: false and delegate_only. The orchestrator loads it only to delegate execution to the dedicated sdd-tasks sub-agent, which performs the task breakdown work.

Why must threat-matrix cases become RED test tasks first?▼

The skill enforces test-first ordering: every applicable threat-matrix case from the design becomes an explicit failing-test task before its production task. Rows marked N/A are omitted, preserving the expected safe or failure behavior from the design.
