Files
Skill: Task master
Trigger
When the user asks to "break this down into tasks," "create a plan," or "what are the steps."
Steps
1. Scope — Restate the goal in one sentence. 2. List tasks — Output 5–15 ordered tasks (each actionable in 1–2 hours); dependencies first. 3. Optional — For each task: owner placeholder, acceptance criteria, or link to doc. 4. Summary — One-line summary and suggested order (sequential vs parallel where possible).
Rules
- Tasks should be concrete (e.g. "Add validation in create-order handler" not "Improve API").
- Do not execute the tasks unless the user asks to implement one.
