Does this skill work with existing CI/CD workflows?

Yes. By ensuring every step is independently committable and doesn't break the build, it aligns perfectly with continuous integration practices.

How does this skill handle very large feature requests?

The skill includes a 'Session Scope Check' that counts total steps. If a plan exceeds 10 steps, it automatically triggers a process to split the work into distinct, deliverable phases.

Can I use this for frontend and backend tasks?

Absolutely. The skill's ordering logic specifically accounts for full-stack dependencies, such as building data models and API endpoints before UI integration.

What makes a step 'independently verifiable'?

Each step must include a concrete verification method, such as a specific test path, a linting command, or a type-check, ensuring the code works before moving to the next task.

Productivity & Workflow

Decomposes complex technical designs into granular, verifiable, and committable development steps with integrated scope control.

This skill automates the translation of high-level technical designs into actionable, step-by-step implementation roadmaps for Claude. It ensures development velocity by enforcing strict constraints: every step must be small (touching only 2-3 files), independently verifiable with concrete commands, and leave the codebase in a working state. By identifying logical units of work and ordering them by dependency, the skill prevents 'broken middle' states and helps developers manage large features or refactors through automated scope checking and phased planning.

Key Features

01Dependency-aware task ordering (models, logic, API, then UI)

02Standardized verification protocols for every code change

03GitHub-compatible progress tracking with checkbox-formatted plans

04Automated decomposition of designs into small, committable units of work

050 GitHub stars

06Built-in scope control to prevent oversized tasks and long-running sessions

Use Cases

01Breaking down complex architectural refactors into safe, incremental commits

02Planning multi-phase migrations that maintain system stability at every step

03Converting feature requirements into a structured TDD (Test-Driven Development) workflow
