Do I need other skills to use Shape Up?

Yes, this skill orchestrates the /shaping and /breadboarding skills, which must be installed for the full workflow to function correctly.

How does it help with the actual coding phase?

It breaks down the finalized shape into 'vertical slices'—small, demoable increments—and generates detailed implementation plans for each step to ensure steady progress.

What is the Shape Up workflow?

Shape Up is a methodology that focuses on 'shaping' work before building it, ensuring the problem is well-defined and the solution is feasible before implementation begins.

Can I use this on an existing project?

Absolutely. The skill includes a 'Map Current System' phase specifically designed to analyze and breadboard existing code before proposing and shaping changes.

生産性とワークフロー

Orchestrates a structured Shape Up process to guide software projects from conceptual framing to incremental implementation.

The Shape Up skill provides a comprehensive project management and design framework within Claude Code, implementing the popular methodology for defining, shaping, and building software. It bridges the gap between vague ideas and concrete implementation by guiding users through distinct phases: Framing the problem, Shaping the solution, Breadboarding affordances, and Slicing into demoable increments. Whether starting a greenfield project or modifying an existing codebase, this skill ensures rigorous problem-solution fit and proactive progress tracking, effectively reducing ambiguity and preventing scope creep during the development cycle.
