What files does this skill require to function?

The skill primarily reads from docs/PRD.md and docs/ARCHITECTURE.md to understand project requirements and technical design before generating tasks.

Does this skill handle task dependencies?

Yes, it identifies logical implementation orders and includes a dependency table to ensure core infrastructure is built before dependent features.

Can I review the plan before the file is generated?

Yes, the workflow includes a confirmation step where the skill summarizes the number of epics and tasks for your approval.

How granular are the generated engineering tasks?

Tasks are designed to be atomic, typically focused on 1-3 files and intended to be completed within a 1-4 hour window.

Where does the skill save the generated task list?

The skill outputs a structured task list to docs/TASKS.md, which includes a status legend for tracking progress.

Productivity & Workflow

Transforms product requirements and architectural designs into structured, atomic engineering tasks for streamlined implementation.

This skill bridges the gap between high-level conceptualization and code execution by analyzing your project's PRD and Architecture documents. It systematically breaks down complex features into logical epics, user-facing stories, and granular engineering tasks that are atomic, testable, and scoped to 1-4 hours of work. By generating a comprehensive TASKS.md file with specific file paths and acceptance criteria, it provides a concrete roadmap for developers to move from planning to production with high confidence and minimal ambiguity.
