brief-to-tasks
This skill turns a design brief into an ordered, buildable task list. Each task is a vertical slice: a piece of UI that can be built, reviewed, and verified on its own.
Example prompts
- "Break the brief into tasks"
- "What should I build first?"
- "Create a task list from the design brief"
- "Plan the build order for this feature"
Process
- Read the design brief. Look for
.design/*/DESIGN_BRIEF.md. If multiple subfolders exist, use the most recently modified one, or ask the user which feature they are working on. Also check forINFORMATION_ARCHITECTURE.mdand a tokens file in the same subfolder. If none exist, ask the user to describe what they are building.
