About this Skill

Convert specifications into ordered, independently verifiable tasks with dependencies and acceptance criteria. Inspect existing plans, identify dependencies and define small units with explicit acceptance and verification steps.

Why we picked it

A task workflow in Addy's Agent Skills. Follow the upstream instructions and retain referenced shared files; host capabilities and project configuration determine which steps can run.

What it helps with

  • Requirements are clear but the implementation sequence is not.

Workflow and deliverables

Inspect existing plans, identify dependencies and define small units with explicit acceptance and verification steps.

An implementation plan in tasks/plan.md and tasks in the selected local or external tracker, preserving incomplete plans.

Planning and Task Breakdown instructions

Install with the required references

Install the complete pack through a documented repository integration when shared references are needed. A per-skill skills CLI install copies only skills/<name>/ and can omit the repository-level references/ checklists; keep the needed shared files with the workflow.

Upstream overview and integrations

Before you use it

  • An Agent that can load Skill Markdown and access your project. File edits, shell commands, builds and checks depend on the selected workflow and its environment.
  • Use your project's own runtimes, dependencies and verification commands. The Skill files provide instructions and do not install those project tools.
  • Install the complete pack through a documented repository integration when shared references are needed. A per-skill skills CLI install copies only skills/<name>/ and can omit the repository-level references/ checklists; keep the needed shared files with the workflow.
