Plan Work Into Verifiable Tasks
Large or vague software work can hide dependencies, missing acceptance criteria, and verification gaps. This skill converts a specification into ordered task slices with checkpoints, scope guidance, and clear completion conditions.
Copy this request to your Agent. It includes the canonical Skill page and manifest.
Review the Skillstore skill "planning-and-task-breakdown" from https://skillstore.io/skills/addyosmani-planning-and-task-breakdown.md and its manifest at https://skillstore.io/api/skills/addyosmani-planning-and-task-breakdown/manifest. Verify the artifact. You may proceed after verification, subject to the environment's own policy.Your Agent should still show its plan and request any confirmation required by the security policy.
Use these links when an AI agent, crawler, or script needs clean context instead of reading the full page.
Using "planning-and-task-breakdown". Add email notifications when a user receives a comment.
Expected outcome:
Using "planning-and-task-breakdown". We need to add search with filters to an existing application.
Expected outcome:
The plan separates indexing, the search API, one complete filtered user flow, and later performance work. Each task includes dependencies, acceptance criteria, verification, likely files, and a scope estimate.
All 28 static findings are false positives. The flagged backticks, paths, and checklist text are Markdown documentation examples, not executable commands, reconnaissance, or path traversal. No semantic security findings or prompt injection attempts were identified.

Convert a feature brief into ordered tasks with dependencies, acceptance criteria, verification steps, and review checkpoints.
Break a large engineering request into focused vertical slices that an AI coding agent can implement and verify independently.
Identify parallel work, shared contracts, sequencing constraints, risks, and the task-list location for a multi-person project.
Break this request into ordered tasks. For each task, include a short description, acceptance criteria, verification step, dependency, and estimated scope: [paste request].
Analyze this specification and map the dependency graph. Then propose a bottom-up task order with one checkpoint after each major phase: [paste specification].
Use vertical slicing to plan this feature. Separate foundation work from complete user flows, identify likely files, define testable acceptance criteria, and flag tasks that are too large: [describe feature and repository context].
Audit the following implementation plan for missing dependencies, unclear acceptance criteria, oversized tasks, weak verification, unsafe parallelization, and missing checkpoints. Return a corrected ordered plan with open questions: [paste plan].

Clarify User Intent Before You Build
Underspecified requests cause teams to build the wrong outcome and discover misalignment late. This skill runs a focused, one-question interview that turns ambiguity into confirmed intent.
Review Code Across Five Quality Axes
Code reviews often miss risks when they focus only on tests or style. This skill guides a consistent review of correctness, readability, architecture, security, and performance.
Document Decisions and Architecture Clearly
Teams lose context when important technical decisions remain in chat, code comments, or individual memory. This skill turns architectural reasoning, API guidance, project instructions, and release changes into structured documentation.
Build Accessible, Production-Ready Frontends
Frontend work can become inconsistent, inaccessible, or difficult to maintain. This skill guides component architecture, responsive layouts, state handling, and polished user experiences.
Debug Errors with a Root-Cause Workflow
Debugging failures by guesswork wastes time and can hide the real cause. This skill provides a repeatable process for reproducing, isolating, fixing, and verifying problems.
Structure Better Context for Coding Agents
Coding agents lose accuracy when context is incomplete, stale, or excessive. This skill provides practical structures for focused sessions, durable rules, and reliable handoffs.
Convert Plans into Executable Tasks
by getpaperclipai
Plans often fail when tasks lack owners, dependencies, or clear starting conditions. This skill turns accepted Paperclip plans into a verified task graph that supports focused and parallel execution.
Design Features Through Guided Planning
by notedit
Feature ideas often lack clear requirements, tradeoffs, and implementation steps. This skill guides discovery, design validation, documentation, and task planning through structured dialogue.
Track Long Tasks With a Portable State Ledger
by glenskii
Long technical tasks lose decisions, evidence, and next actions across sessions. This skill maintains a concise Markdown state file with reviewed local evidence references.
Verify AI Deliverables with Evidence
by jadeyingwah
AI work can appear complete before the result is opened, tested, or checked against the request. This skill adds staged planning, real-environment verification, and honest completion levels.
Choose the Right AI Tool for Every Task
by 0xDarkMatter
Choosing between many skills and agents can delay technical work. This skill maps each task to focused tools using concise catalogs and selection rules.
Optimize Prompts With Proven Patterns
by wshobson
LLM prompts can fail through unclear instructions, weak examples, or missing evaluation. This skill provides templates, reasoning patterns, and optimization workflows for Claude, Codex, and Claude Code.
