Task Planner is a project management skill that takes a high-level goal or PRD and decomposes it into a structured, prioritized task list with effort estimates and dependency mapping. It understands software development workflows and produces plans that account for real-world constraints.
How It Works
- Goal parsing — Reads your project description, PRD, or feature request to understand the full scope of work
- Decomposition — Breaks the goal into epics, then into individual tasks with clear acceptance criteria
- Dependency mapping — Identifies which tasks block others and creates a logical execution order
- Effort estimation — Assigns story points or time estimates based on task complexity and historical patterns
- Schedule generation — Produces a week-by-week or sprint-by-sprint plan accounting for team capacity and parallel work streams
Best For
- Engineering leads planning quarterly roadmaps
- Solo developers organizing complex side projects
- Product managers converting PRDs into sprint backlogs
- Teams starting new projects that need structure
Use Cases
- Sprint planning for development teams
