SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Turning an approved spec-driven 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, dependency-ordered tasks (1.1, 1.2, 2.1...) across 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 a chosen delivery strategy (ask-on-risk, auto-chain, single-pr, exception-ok). - Multi-Mode Persistence: Supports engram, openspec, hybrid, and none artifact store modes, reading upstream artifacts and persisting the tasks artifact accordingly. - Use Case: After an orchestrator completes proposal, spec, and design phases for a new authentication feature, this sub-agent generates a tasks.md listing exact files to create, TDD red-green-refactor steps, and a PR split plan before implementation begins. ## Quick Start Delegate to the sdd-tasks sub-agent with the change name, artifact store mode, and delivery strategy to generate the implementation task breakdown.

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

Delegate to the sdd-tasks sub-agent with the change name, artifact store mode, and delivery strategy. It reads the proposal, specs, and design, then produces a tasks.md with dependency-ordered phases and concrete per-file actions.

What is a review workload forecast in task planning?▼

It is an estimate of whether implementation will exceed a 400 changed-line review budget. If risk is high, the forecast recommends chained PRs, splits tasks into work units, and records the chosen chain strategy such as stacked-to-main or feature-branch-chain.

Can the orchestrator run the sdd-tasks skill directly?▼

No. The skill has an orchestrator gate: if loaded via the skill tool, the orchestrator must delegate to the dedicated sdd-tasks sub-agent using the platform's delegation primitive rather than executing the instructions inline.

Does sdd-tasks support TDD workflows?▼

Yes. When the project uses TDD, the task breakdown integrates test-first steps: a RED task to write a failing test, a GREEN task to make it pass, and a REFACTOR task to clean up, all referencing specific spec scenarios.

What artifact store modes does sdd-tasks support?▼

Four modes: engram persists to an Engram topic, openspec writes tasks.md under openspec/changes, hybrid does both with Engram as primary, and none returns the result inline without creating project files.
