How does it categorize different tasks?

It uses a Scope Matrix to classify work as Trivial, Small, Large, or Massive based on the number of deliverables, the level of unknowns, and the system impact.

Can it handle vague or poorly defined requests?

Yes, it includes a dedicated discovery phase with targeted questions designed to reveal user intent, success criteria, and hidden constraints.

What is the Work Intake skill used for?

It is the primary entry point for any new request in the Claude Code environment, used to clarify requirements and determine the technical scope before implementation begins.

Does this skill perform the actual coding?

No, it acts as a strategic router. It gathers necessary information and then identifies the best planning or execution skill to use next, such as issue-prerequisite or epic-management.

生産性とワークフロー

Standardizes and triages all incoming development requests by assessing scope, clarifying requirements, and routing to the appropriate execution workflow.

概要

This skill serves as the central entry point for all Claude Code tasks, ensuring that every request—from minor CSS tweaks to massive system migrations—is properly understood and scoped before work begins. By applying a structured triage process, it helps developers avoid scope creep and technical debt by asking critical discovery questions, identifying unknowns, and automatically routing the project to the correct planning or implementation skill based on its complexity. It ensures that no work is too small to track and no work is too large to decompose into manageable pieces.
