What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates and streamlines the software development lifecycle (SDLC) by guiding you through the creation of high-quality specifications, implementation plans, and detailed task lists. It ensures clarity, consistency, and quality at every stage through mandatory human review, significantly reducing manual effort and rework.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Guided SDLC Workflow: Systematically generates and refines software development artifacts across five stages: Specify, Clarify, Plan, Tasks, and Implement.
• Mandatory Human Review: Integrates critical human checkpoints after each stage, ensuring quality, alignment, and user approval before proceeding.
• Comprehensive Artifact Generation: Automatically produces spec.md (specifications), plan.md (implementation plans), tasks.md (task lists), data-model.md, contracts/, and more.
• Use Case: A product manager can initiate a new feature with a high-level description. The Skill will then guide them through generating a detailed specification, clarifying ambiguities, creating a technical plan, and breaking it down into actionable tasks, all with built-in review cycles to ensure the final product meets expectations.
