Use when turning PRDs or feature specs into actionable implementation workflows - provides structured task decomposition, dependency mapping, and validation gates.

13 stars

Best use case

implementation-workflow is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.

Use when turning PRDs or feature specs into actionable implementation workflows - provides structured task decomposition, dependency mapping, and validation gates.

Teams using implementation-workflow should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.

When to use this skill

  • You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.

When not to use this skill

  • You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
  • You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.

# Implementation Workflow

## Overview
Create structured implementation workflows from PRDs or feature requirements. Emphasize clear task breakdowns, dependencies, and validation checkpoints.

## When to Use
- Translating a PRD or feature spec into tasks
- Planning multi-domain implementation work
- Defining validation gates and dependencies

Avoid when:
- The task is a small, obvious change
- You already have a complete plan

## Quick Reference

| Task | Load reference |
| --- | --- |
| Workflow generation | `skills/implementation-workflow/references/workflow.md` |

## Workflow
1. Read the PRD/spec and identify core requirements.
2. Load the workflow reference for structure and patterns.
3. Decompose into workstreams with dependencies.
4. Add validation steps and risk mitigation.
5. Deliver the workflow and next actions.

## Output
- Structured workflow with tasks and dependencies
- Validation checklist and risks

## Common Mistakes
- Skipping dependency mapping
- Mixing execution steps with brainstorming
- Omitting validation gates
