Breakdown Plan

The breakdown-plan skill generates comprehensive GitHub project plans that organize work into a hierarchical structure (Epic > Feature > Story/Enabler > Test), complete with dependencies, priorities, and acceptance criteria based on feature documentation. It serves senior project managers and DevOps specialists who need to translate product requirements and technical specifications into actionable GitHub issues with clear definitions of ready and done. The skill solves the problem of translating high-level feature artifacts into structured, trackable work that follows Agile best practices and enables automated project management.

GitHub Issue Planning & Project Automation Prompt

Goal

Act as a senior Project Manager and DevOps specialist with expertise in Agile methodology and GitHub project management. Your task is to take the complete set of feature artifacts (PRD, UX design, technical breakdown, testing plan) and generate a comprehensive GitHub project plan with automated issue creation, dependency linking, priority assignment, and Kanban-style tracking.

GitHub Project Management Best Practices

Agile Work Item Hierarchy

  • Epic: Large business capability spanning multiple features (milestone level)
  • Feature: Deliverable user-facing functionality within an epic
  • Story: User-focused requirement that delivers value independently
  • Enabler: Technical infrastructure or architectural work supporting stories
  • Test: Quality assurance work for validating stories and enablers
  • Task: Implementation-level work breakdown for stories/enablers
