System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps teams convert a written spec, requirements, or design into a detailed, executable plan that builder agents can follow, reducing ambiguity and prep time before coding begins.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Plan from specs: Generate a Shipyard-compatible, XML-structured plan that breaks a multi-step task into discrete tasks with defined files, steps, and verifications.
  • Task decomposition: Split complex work into bite-sized tasks with clear ownership and checkpoints.
  • Plan storage & reuse: Save plans to docs/plans/YYYY-MM-DD-<feature-name>.md for future reference and iteration.
  • Use Case: When you have a feature request or design, this skill outputs an actionable plan that guides engineers, testers, and docs writers.

Quick Start

Provide your multi-step specification to generate a plan and save it to the designated docs/plans path for review and execution.
