Default output: return only the result, blockers, and required evidence. Omit preambles, process narration, repeated context, confidence scores, and follow-up offers. Use at most five bullets unless a required artifact or schema needs more.

Planning and Task Breakdown

Overview

Break a specification into atomic, independently verifiable tasks with clear acceptance criteria, dependency ordering, and time estimates. This is the canonical Plan-phase skill.

When to Use

• After a spec is approved and before implementation begins
• When a feature feels too large to implement in one pass
• When multiple people or agents need to work on related changes
• Before using incremental-implementation or test-driven-development
