The instructions your AI receives, as published by glowingkitty/openmates in .agents/skills/tasks-from-plan/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Instructions

You are creating the task breakdown for Plan-driven implementation. The output must let OpenCode implement one small vertical slice at a time without losing Specification or verification traceability.

Step 1: Read Inputs

Read the provided docs/plans/<slug>/plan.yml, its linked Specifications, and docs/contributing/guides/spec-driven-development.md. If the Plan or linked Specification references are missing, stop and ask the user to run define-specification or create-plan first.

Step 2: Create Tasks

Create or update tasks in the Plan. Each task must include:

  • Specification assertion IDs and canonical surfaces changed or proven
  • A short action title, scenario IDs (S-*), and acceptance criteria (AC-*)
  • Expected files or areas, verification command or planned test file, and verification_ids
  • Initial status, blockers, dependencies, ownership, and deployability

For shared product surfaces, enforce this dependency order: REST API/WebSocket against the dev server, CLI, npm and pip SDK parity, CI/daily reproduction, web, deployed Playwright visual smoke for larger web UI, user confirmation, then Apple. The CLI and SDK tasks must use real dev-server API/WebSocket calls; mocks can only be supplemental unit tasks.

For required proof videos, add capture, device-scoped WebVTT captions, frame-only review, and response-media embedding after applicable normal green gates.

Run validation after editing:

python3 scripts/plan_validate.py docs/plans/<slug>/plan.yml

Step 3: Slice Rules

Use small vertical slices. A task is too large if it says "build the feature" or requires an unbounded review. Failed required checks keep the task active, blocked, or needs_fix and must create or suggest a traceable follow-up.

Step 4: Output Summary

Tasks: docs/plans/<slug>/plan.yml#tasks
First implementation task: T-1 <title>
Independent deployable slices: <yes/no summary>
Validation: <plan_validate result>
Next: write tests for T-1, record red evidence, implement T-1, then run `verify-plan docs/plans/<slug>/plan.yml`

Rules

  • Do not write implementation code during this skill.
  • Do not create tasks that lack verification.
  • Do not include unrelated cleanup unless required by a scenario.
  • Mark task dependencies explicitly and update the Plan handoff.
