Implementation Task Planner Skill

Use this skill to convert approved delivery artifacts into an execution-ready task plan. The skill plans implementation work; it does not implement the code.

Core Outcomes

Produce a plan that enables another agent or engineer to start safely:

• Ordered tasks grouped by phase, story, or vertical slice.
• Traceability from each task to acceptance criteria, architecture decisions, risks, and source artifacts.
• Test-first sequencing where a meaningful test can be written before implementation.
• Explicit dependencies and [P] markers for work that can proceed in parallel.
• Expected file targets when they can be inferred from the architecture or repository.
• Validation commands, or TBD after bootstrap when commands are genuinely unknown.
• Downstream skill-routing hints for specialized execution.
• Open questions and blockers separated from executable tasks.
