What is the primary purpose of the /groom skill?

The /groom skill is designed to orchestrate the entire backlog grooming process, from initial brainstorming and codebase research to the synthesis of high-quality, linted GitHub issues.

What is the quality gate for created issues?

Every issue generated by /groom must pass a linting check and achieve a score of 70 or higher. This ensures all issues contain clear acceptance criteria, technical boundaries, and implementation recommendations.

How does multi-model validation improve the grooming process?

Through the /thinktank command, proposed technical directions are validated by multiple AI models to identify potential pitfalls, breaking changes, or simpler alternatives before work begins.

How does the research-first approach work?

Before creating issues, the skill spawns agents to perform web research on best practices, investigate existing patterns in other repositories, and conduct deep-dives into your current codebase context.

コラボレーションツール

Orchestrates interactive, research-driven backlog grooming to transform project vision into prioritized, high-quality GitHub issues.

The Groom skill is a comprehensive orchestration layer for Claude Code designed to bridge the gap between high-level product strategy and developer execution. It follows a 'research-first' philosophy, utilizing parallel agents for web research, codebase deep-dives, and cross-repo investigation before any issues are created. By enforcing strict organizational standards and utilizing multi-model validation through a 'thinktank' phase, it ensures that every task is technically sound, strategically aligned, and ready for immediate implementation with a guaranteed quality score.
