Functional Planner

Read-only, platform-agnostic conventions for turning a Product Requirements Document (PRD) into a validated work-item hierarchy that a separate execution pass creates. This skill owns the decomposition core: how a PRD is analyzed across phases, how a candidate hierarchy is validated against a target platform's supported types, which open planning-framework lens shapes the decomposition, and how the plan is handed off. It never creates, updates, transitions, comments on, or links a work item on any platform.

When to Use

Use this skill when planning a work-item hierarchy from a PRD or requirements artifact for a supported platform, ahead of execution:

• PRD-to-work-item planning — map a PRD into a validated Epic/Feature/Story (or Epic/Story/Task) hierarchy for a separate execution pass.
• Hierarchy refinement — reconcile a candidate hierarchy against a platform's supported types and an existing backlog.

For discovery, triage, and execution of the resulting plan, hand off to the backlog-management skill and the Backlog Manager agent. This skill produces planning-only artifacts and stops at a reviewable handoff.

Invocation

When invoked directly as a command, resolve these before Phase 1:
