+ ## Task Tracking System
13
+
14
+ **CRITICAL**: All work must be tracked through the persistent task system using task filing signals.
15
+
16
+ ### Creating Tasks
17
+
18
+ Use this signal format in your output to create tasks:
19
+
20
+ ```text
21
+ File task: "description" priority: high|medium|low tags: tag1,tag2
22
+ ```
23
+
24
+ Examples:
25
+
26
+ ```text
27
+ File task: "Design user authentication API" priority: high tags: architecture,auth
28
+ File task: "Implement login endpoint" priority: high tags: implementation,auth
29
+ File task: "Add authentication tests" priority: medium tags: testing,auth
30
+ File task: "Update API documentation" priority: low tags: docs
31
+ ```
32
+
33
+ ### Task Organization
34
+
35
+ Break work into tasks:
36
+
37
+ - **Per domain** - Group related functionality (e.g., auth, payments, user-mgmt)
38
+ - **Per cross-cutting area** - Infrastructure concerns (e.g., testing, docs, deployment)
39
+ - Include Definition of Done (DoD), dependencies, and reviewer role when applicable
40
+
41
+ ### Task Lifecycle
42
+
43
+ 1. **pending** - Task created, not started
44
+ 2. **in_progress** - Currently working on task
45
+ 3. **done** - Task completed successfully
46
+ 4. **abandoned** - Task no longer needed (requires reason)

+ # Generate Gantt Chart and Critical Path
2
+
3
+ You are creating a Mermaid Gantt chart with critical path analysis.
4
+
5
+ ## Input
6
+
7
+ Read `.aidp/docs/WBS.md` - Work breakdown structure with tasks and dependencies
8
+
9
+ ## Your Task
10
+
11
+ Generate a Gantt chart in Mermaid format showing timeline, dependencies, and critical path.
12
+
13
+ ## Gantt Chart Components
14
+
15
+ 1. **Timeline** - Task durations and sequencing
16
+ 2. **Dependencies** - Task relationships ("after" clauses)
17
+ 3. **Critical Path** - Longest sequence of dependent tasks
18
+ 4. **Phase Sections** - Group tasks by project phase
19
+
20
+ ## Critical Path
21
+
22
+ The critical path represents the longest sequence of dependent tasks. Any delay in critical path tasks delays the entire project.
23
+
24
+ Critical path tasks should be highlighted in the visualization.
25
+
26
+ ## Gantt Features
27
+
28
+ - Phase-based sections
29
+ - Task dependencies (after relationships)
30
+ - Critical tasks highlighted
31
+ - Relative durations based on effort estimates
32
+
33
+ ## Duration Calculation
34
+
35
+ Convert effort estimates to time:
36
+
37
+ - Story points → days (e.g., 1 story point = 0.5 days)
38
+ - Minimum duration = 1 day
39
+ - Account for dependencies when calculating start dates
40
+
41
+ ## Implementation
42
+
43
+ **For Ruby/AIDP projects**, use the `ruby_aidp_planning` skill to:
44
+
45
+ 1. Load WBS using `Aidp::Planning::Parsers::DocumentParser`
46
+ 2. Generate Gantt chart using `Aidp::Planning::Generators::GanttGenerator`
47
+ 3. Calculate critical path
48
+ 4. Format as Mermaid syntax
49
+ 5. Write to `.aidp/docs/GANTT.md`
50
+
51
+ The skill provides the complete Ruby implementation including:
52
+
53
+ - WBS parsing and task extraction
54
+ - Duration calculation algorithms
55
+ - Critical path analysis (longest dependency chain)
56
+ - Mermaid format generation
57
+ - File output operations
58
+
59
+ **For other language implementations**, implement equivalent functionality:
60
+
61
+ 1. Parse WBS to extract tasks and dependencies
62
+ 2. Calculate task durations from effort estimates
63
+ 3. Build dependency graph
64
+ 4. Find critical path (longest path through dependencies)
65
+ 5. Generate Mermaid gantt syntax with proper formatting
66
+ 6. Highlight critical path tasks
67
+
68
+ ## Mermaid Gantt Syntax
69
+
70
+ ```mermaid
71
+ gantt
72
+ title Project Timeline
73

76

+ # Generate Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)
2
+
3
+ You are creating a phase-based Work Breakdown Structure.
4
+
5
+ ## Input
6
+
7
+ Read:
8
+
9
+ - `.aidp/docs/PRD.md` - Requirements
10
+ - `.aidp/docs/TECH_DESIGN.md` - Technical approach
11
+
12
+ ## Your Task
13
+
14
+ Generate a hierarchical breakdown of ALL work needed to deliver this project.
15
+
16
+ ## WBS Structure
17
+
18
+ A Work Breakdown Structure organizes project work into:
19
+
20
+ 1. **Phases** - Major project stages (Requirements, Design, Implementation, Testing, Deployment)
21
+ 2. **Tasks** - Specific work items within each phase
22
+ 3. **Subtasks** - Detailed breakdown of complex tasks
23
+ 4. **Dependencies** - What must complete before this task
24
+ 5. **Effort Estimates** - Story points or time estimates
25
+
26
+ ## Default Phases
27
+
28
+ 1. **Requirements** - Finalize all requirements
29
+ 2. **Design** - Complete architectural and detailed design
30
+ 3. **Implementation** - Build all features
31
+ 4. **Testing** - Comprehensive testing
32
+ 5. **Deployment** - Deploy to production
33
+
34
+ ## Task Attributes
35
+
36
+ For each task, include:
37
+
38
+ - **Name**: Clear, action-oriented
39
+ - **Description**: What needs to be done
40
+ - **Effort**: Story points or time estimate
41
+ - **Dependencies**: What must complete first
42
+ - **Subtasks**: Breakdown if complex
43
+
44
+ ## Guidelines
45
+
46
+ - Be comprehensive - include ALL work
47
+ - Break large tasks into subtasks
48
+ - Identify dependencies clearly
49
+ - Provide realistic effort estimates
50
+ - Consider parallel work streams
51
+
52
+ ## Implementation
53
+
54
+ **For Ruby/AIDP projects**, use the `ruby_aidp_planning` skill to:
55
+
56
+ 1. Parse PRD and technical design documents using `Aidp::Planning::Parsers::DocumentParser`
57
+ 2. Generate WBS structure using `Aidp::Planning::Generators::WBSGenerator`
58
+ 3. Format as markdown
59
+ 4. Write to `.aidp/docs/WBS.md`
60
+
61
+ The skill provides the complete Ruby implementation including:
62
+
63
+ - Module requires and namespacing
64
+ - Class instantiation
65
+ - Method calls with proper parameters
66
+ - File I/O operations
67
+
68
+ **For other language implementations**, implement equivalent functionality:

+
70
+ 1. Parse input documents to extract requirements and design
71
+ 2. Decompose into phases and tasks
72
+ 3. Calculate effort estimates
73
+ 4. Identify dependencies
74
+ 5. Generate hierarchical markdown output
75
+
76
+ ## Output
77

+ # Waterfall Planning Initialization
2
+
3
+ You are initializing a waterfall-style project planning workflow. Your task is to determine whether the user has existing documentation to ingest, or if we need to generate documentation from scratch.
4
+
5
+ ## Your Tasks
6
+
7
+ 1. **Ask the user**: Do they have existing documentation (PRD, design docs, ADRs, task lists)?
8
+
9
+ 2. **If YES (Ingestion Path)**:
10
+ - Ask for the path(s) to their documentation files
11
+ - Ask what gaps exist in their documentation that need to be filled
12
+ - Create a file `.aidp/docs/.waterfall_mode` with content: `mode: ingestion`
13
+ - List the files to be ingested
14
+
15
+ 3. **If NO (Generation Path)**:
16
+ - Inform them we'll guide them through requirements elicitation
17
+ - Create a file `.aidp/docs/.waterfall_mode` with content: `mode: generation`
18
+ - Prepare to gather requirements via Q&A
19
+
20
+ ## Output Format
21
+
22
+ Create `.aidp/docs/.waterfall_mode` with:
23
+
24
+ ```yaml
25
+ mode: ingestion # or 'generation'
26
+ docs_path: /path/to/docs # if ingestion
27
+ gaps: [] # list of gaps to fill
28
+ timestamp: <ISO8601 timestamp>
29
+ ```
30
+
31
+ ## Important Notes
32
+
33
+ - Be conversational and helpful
34
+ - Explain what waterfall planning provides (WBS, Gantt, personas)
35
+ - If they're unsure, explain both paths
36
+ - Create the `.aidp/docs/` directory if it doesn't exist
37
+
38
+ ## Example Dialogue
39
+
40
+ **For Ingestion:**
41
+
42
+ ```text
43
+ User: I have a PRD and some design notes
44
+ Assistant: Great! Please provide the path to your PRD and design documentation.
45
+ I'll parse them and identify any gaps we need to fill via Q&A.
46
+
47
+ What gaps exist? For example:
48
+ - Missing technical architecture details?
49
+ - No task breakdown yet?
50
+ - Missing decision records?
51
+ ```
52
+
53
+ **For Generation:**
54
+
55
+ ```text
56
+ User: I'm starting from scratch
57
+ Assistant: Perfect! I'll guide you through creating a comprehensive project plan.
58
+ We'll start with requirements gathering, then move through:
59
+ - Product Requirements Document (PRD)
60
+ - Technical Design
61
+ - Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)
62
+ - Gantt Chart with timeline
63
+ - Task assignments to personas
