SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines the initial project kickoff by translating user goals into a structured planning workflow, including codebase research, design considerations, and a concrete implementation plan.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Project understanding: quickly grasp the codebase structure, dependencies, and risks.
  • Research & design: generate a research plan and high-level design decisions to inform the implementation.
  • Plan generation: create a TASK_FILE Brief, add a DECISION LOG entry, and prepare a Phase 1–3 project plan.
  • Use Case: a team starting a new feature or product initiative can use this skill to align on scope and actions.

Quick Start

Initiate a new project kickoff by supplying a task description, tier, task-file path, and linear-id to generate the planning artifacts.

FAQPage Schema
How do I turn vague project goals into a concrete implementation plan?▼

You can turn vague goals into a concrete implementation plan by using a structured project kickoff workflow that guides your team through understanding, research, and design phases to generate planning artifacts.

What is needed to generate a TASK_FILE Brief for a new feature rollout?▼

To generate a TASK_FILE Brief for a feature rollout, you need to initiate a project kickoff by supplying a task description, tier, task-file path, and linear-id to produce the required planning artifacts.

How do I structure a project plan across multiple phases for a product launch?▼

You can structure a product launch by preparing a Phase 1 through Phase 3 project plan that integrates with PI.md, ensuring scope and actions are aligned through a generated research and design workflow.

Can I use this kickoff workflow for transitioning research into implementation?▼

Yes, you can use this project kickoff workflow for research-to-implementation transitions, as it applies to product launches, feature rollouts, and translating research into a concrete implementation plan.

Why does my project kickoff require a Decision Log entry?▼

A project kickoff requires a Decision Log entry to satisfy planning requirements and document high-level design decisions made during the research and design phases of the workflow.

Does the project planning workflow analyze codebase structure and dependencies?▼

Yes, the project planning workflow quickly grasps the codebase structure, dependencies, and risks during the project understanding phase to inform the subsequent implementation plan.
