Can it help me work faster with a team?

Yes, it identifies independent tasks and groups them into parallel phases, calculating exactly how much time can be saved compared to sequential execution.

What happens if a task is too large?

The skill flags XL tasks (over 8 hours) as critical errors and requires them to be split into smaller M or L sized tasks to ensure they remain reviewable and manageable.

How does the skill determine task order?

It builds a dependency graph by analyzing shared file paths and architectural layer hierarchies (e.g., Database → Logic → UI) to ensure tasks are executed in a logical order.

Where is the implementation plan saved?

The skill generates a comprehensive plan.md file within the specific directory of your feature specification for easy reference and execution.

What is a PR-sized chunk in this skill?

A PR-sized chunk is a thematically coherent unit of work, typically 3-7 hours, that completes a specific subsystem or layer (like a database foundation) rather than just a single file.

生产力与工作流

Transforms feature specifications into execution-ready implementation plans with dependency-aware phase grouping.

This skill bridges the gap between high-level architectural specs and hands-on coding by systematically breaking down requirements into reviewable, PR-sized tasks. It analyzes file dependencies to group tasks into sequential or parallel phases, validates task quality to prevent scope creep, and calculates potential time savings from parallel execution. By enforcing senior-level engineering principles like thematic coherence and proper task sizing, it ensures that every generated plan is optimized for both speed and code review quality.
