Does this skill write implementation code?

No, this skill specifically focuses on the planning and documentation phase to ensure project alignment before the implementation starts.

Can I use custom project templates?

Yes, by using the --use-project-templates flag, you can direct the skill to use your repository's local templates found in docs/templates/.

What is a Progress PR?

A Progress PR is a GitHub pull request that contains only documentation outlining the goals, scope, and implementation plan for a feature before actual code is written.

What are the system requirements for this skill?

You need a Git repository, the GitHub CLI (gh) authenticated and installed, and python3 available on your system path for helper scripts.
