Task Scope and Spec

Agent skill
1 skill

Scope a loose engineering task into a tight, testable spec list. Use when the user gives background for a piece of work and wants the requirements narrowed down before implementation. Trigger phrases include: "scope this", "what are the specs", "what's involved", "what would it take", "what's left for this task", "port this to", "bring this logic to", and "spec this ticket/issue". This skill defines WHAT must be true when the work is done — it does not produce an implementation plan, task ordering, or execution steps. For sequencing the specs into ordered, verifiable tasks, use planning-and-task-decomposition instead.
