feature-planning

The 'feature-planning' skill is designed to assist users in planning a focused task based on a single idea. The primary function of this skill is to break down a specific task from a narrow starting point and gradually expand the context as necessary, ensuring that only relevant information is gathered. It helps streamline task planning by guiding users through a structured research process to define the scope, identify dependencies, and propose a clear action plan. However, it is important to note that this skill does not engage in implementation or code-writing; it strictly focuses on task planning.

The skill follows a narrow-to-broad research pattern, ensuring that only the most pertinent context is gathered from the user's input. By beginning with a specific focus (such as a component or a file) and expanding outward to related dependencies and broader design patterns only as needed, it helps users avoid unnecessary clutter. The process includes context loading, task proposal, and approval before delegating the task to the task-board skill for further action. This structured approach ensures that users can clearly define their task and avoid confusion or overwhelm with irrelevant information.

This skill is ideal for individual developers or teams working on a specific feature, bug, or refactor. It is especially useful when a user has a clear focus, such as fixing an issue or adding a new feature, and needs guidance on structuring the task to ensure nothing is overlooked without excessive overhead. The skill is not suitable for bulk task generation or implementing features, as its focus is solely on the planning phase of task creation.
