Overview
Create structured task files and PRDs before implementing features. This ensures proper planning, documentation, and clear scope definition.
CRITICAL RULE: Never implement a feature without first creating the task + PRD files and getting user approval.
When This Activates
- "I want to add [feature]"
- "Implement [feature]"
- "Create a task for [feature]"
- "Plan this feature"
- User describes a user story
- Bug that needs tracking
The Workflow
Step 1: Understand Request
- Simple task: <1 hour, few files
- Complex feature: >1 hour, multiple files/systems
Step 2: Gather Requirements
- Which app/project?
- Priority? (CRITICAL/High/Medium/Low)
- Dependencies?
Step 3: Check Existing System
- Read architecture docs
- Search for similar implementations
Step 4: Create Files
Task file: [project]/.agent/TASKS/[task-name].md
PRD file: [project]/.agent/PRDS/[task-name].md
Step 5: Get Approval
Present files, explain approach, WAIT for user approval.
Task File Format
## Task: [Feature Name]
**ID:** feature-name-slug
**Label:** [App]: [Feature Name]
**Description:** Brief description
**Type:** Feature | Bug | Enhancement
**Status:** Backlog | To Do | Testing | Done
**Priority:** High | Medium | Low
**Created:** YYYY-MM-DD
**Updated:** YYYY-MM-DD
**PRD:** [Link](../PRDS/feature-name.md)
Critical Rules
- Create task file
- Create PRD file
- Link them together
- Present to user
- Get approval
- Then implement
Red Flags (Stop and Ask)
- Breaking changes
- Affects multiple projects
- Security implications
- Unclear requirements

Guide users through a structured workflow for co-authoring documentation. Use when user wants to write documentation, proposals, technical specs, decision docs, or similar structured content. This workflow helps users efficiently transfer context, refine content through iteration, and verify the doc works for readers. Trigger when user mentions writing docs, creating proposals, drafting specs, or similar documentation tasks.
Intelligently organizes your files and folders across your computer by understanding context, finding duplicates, suggesting better structures, and automating cleanup tasks. Reduces cognitive load and keeps your digital workspace tidy without manual effort.
Generates creative domain name ideas for your project and checks availability across multiple TLDs (.com, .io, .dev, .ai, etc.). Saves hours of brainstorming and manual checking.
You MUST use this before any creative work - creating features, building components, adding functionality, or modifying behavior. Explores user intent, requirements and design before implementation.
Implements Manus-style file-based planning for complex tasks. Creates task_plan.md, findings.md, and progress.md. Use when starting complex multi-step tasks, research projects, or any task requiring >5 tool calls.
Creative research ideation and exploration. Use for open-ended brainstorming sessions, exploring interdisciplinary connections, challenging assumptions, or identifying research gaps. Best for early-stage research planning when you do not have specific observations yet. For formulating testable hypotheses from data use hypothesis-generation.
Comprehensive GitHub project management with swarm-coordinated issue tracking, project board automation, and sprint planning
Interview the user relentlessly about a plan or design until reaching shared understanding, resolving each branch of the decision tree. Use when user wants to stress-test a plan, get grilled on their design, or mentions "grill me".
