Can I use this for non-GitHub projects?

While the issue creation features require GitHub, the task decomposition and implementation planning logic can be used for any local codebase analysis.

What if the initial feature description is too vague?

If the scope is unclear, the skill is designed to ask clarifying questions about expected behavior and constraints to ensure an accurate breakdown.

Can it identify specific files to change?

Yes, it performs a codebase analysis to suggest which specific files and modules will need modification or creation for each subtask.

Does this skill require the GitHub CLI?

Yes, the gh CLI must be installed and authenticated to fetch existing issues and automatically create new subtask issues on GitHub.

How does it determine the order of tasks?

The skill analyzes dependencies between components, prioritizing data models and schemas before business logic, API endpoints, and UI integration.

Collaboration Tools

Decomposes complex feature requests and GitHub issues into organized, file-specific subtasks with clear implementation paths.

This skill streamlines the planning phase of software development by transforming vague feature descriptions or large GitHub issues into granular, actionable work items. By analyzing the codebase and existing patterns, it identifies specific files to modify, establishes dependency ordering, and defines clear acceptance criteria for each subtask. It integrates directly with the GitHub CLI to automate the creation of subtasks as linked issues, ensuring developers can move from high-level requirements to execution with maximum clarity and organization.
