Summary

Structured task planning with clear breakdowns, dependencies, and verification criteria.

  • Breaks work into small, focused tasks (2-5 minutes each) with one clear outcome and independent verification per task
  • Emphasizes project-specific planning over templates, with dynamic content tailored to new projects, feature additions, bug fixes, or refactoring
  • Saves plans as markdown files in the project root with slug-based naming (e.g., auth-feature.md), never in hidden or temp folders
  • Recommends 5-10 tasks maximum per plan with explicit verification steps, logical ordering, and critical path highlighting

Overview

This skill provides a framework for breaking down work into clear, actionable tasks with verification criteria.

Task Breakdown Principles

1. Small, Focused Tasks

  • Each task should take 2-5 minutes
  • One clear outcome per task
  • Independently verifiable

2. Clear Verification

  • How do you know it's done?
  • What can you check/test?
  • What's the expected output?
