story-phase-planner

What problem does it solve?

This Skill bridges the gap between high-level user stories and detailed implementation plans. Manual story breakdown is time-consuming and often inconsistent, leading to missed dependencies, inaccurate estimates, and unclear development paths. It automates the strategic planning process, ensuring clarity and consistency.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Adaptive Phase Decomposition: Breaks down user stories into an optimal number of atomic implementation phases (1-20+), dynamically adjusting based on story complexity.
• Dependency & Risk Analysis: Identifies technical dependencies, critical paths, and potential risks for each phase, providing mitigation strategies.
• Strategic Planning Document: Generates a comprehensive PHASES_PLAN.md with objectives, scope, estimates, and implementation order, ready to guide development.
• Use Case: A product owner provides a complex user story for a new feature. Use this Skill to automatically generate a detailed, multi-phase implementation plan, allowing the development team to immediately understand the scope, dependencies, and estimated effort.

Quick Start
