What is a 'waypoint' in this context?

A waypoint is a specific project milestone or high-level deliverable defined in your project roadmap that has already gone through a design phase.

Where are the created tasks stored?

Tasks are created and persisted across sessions using the native Claude Code task system, specifically linked via the CLAUDE_CODE_TASK_LIST_ID environment variable.

How does the skill handle task dependencies?

The skill analyzes the design requirements to identify which tasks are prerequisites and uses the addBlockedBy and addBlocks functions to create a Task DAG.

When should I trigger the Waypoint Planner?

Trigger this skill once a waypoint design is saved and you are ready to break it down into atomic units of work for implementation.

Does it distinguish between agent and human tasks?

Yes, it uses heuristics to assign code changes and research to agents, while flagging external communications or irreversible decisions for humans.

生产力与工作流

Decomposes high-level project milestones into actionable, dependency-aware task graphs within the Claude Code ecosystem.

The Waypoint Planner is a specialized workflow skill designed to bridge the gap between architectural design and execution. It reads your project’s waypoint designs and roadmap to recursively break down complex goals into atomic, executable tasks organized as a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG). By automatically managing task dependencies, assigning work to either AI agents or humans, and integrating with your native Claude Code task list, it ensures that project execution is structured, transparent, and ready for immediate implementation.
