factory-plan
Skill0 starsChanged 5 months agoMITView on GitHub
Turn a product idea into an approved sprint spec for the Helm factory. Grill Nick on goal, users, non-goals, constraints, envelope and budget, then build a qWork deck (strategy slides plus one wireframe slide per feature with an acceptance box), loop on his phone review until approved, and record the deck id on the project map issue. Use when a supervisor starts a new sprint, or Nick says "plan a sprint", "spec this", "new features for <project>".

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
5 rules. About 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 4 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈1
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
4
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 21
Stop grilling when every feature has an observable definition of done.
- Very specific: line 25
Read the qWork skill (~/qubit-wiki/os/connectors/qwork/skills/qwork/SKILL.md) for the qw CLI and deck ops.
- Very specific: line 36
Never put two features on one slide.
- Very specific: line 41
When he says he has reviewed, qw comment <id> and read every thread.
- Very specific: line 52
Use only the qw commands in the qWork skill.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Files
factory-plan: idea to approved feature deck
Output: an approved qWork deck id and a feature list, recorded on the project's map issue. The next step is deck-to-issues.
1. Grill
Load the grilling skill and interview Nick one question at a time, each with your recommended answer. Look facts up in the repo instead of asking. Settle:
- Goal: the one outcome this sprint must produce.
- Users: who touches it and in what moment.
- Non-goals: what is explicitly out.
- Constraints: stack, data, deadlines, anything that must not change.
- Envelope: deploy targets and their mode (
auto/tap/never), tap-only actions for this sprint. - Budget: sprint cap in USD and Codex tokens (becomes
helm budget open).
Stop grilling when every feature has an observable definition of done.
2. Build the deck
- Read the qWork skill (
~/qubit-wiki/os/connectors/qwork/skills/qwork/SKILL.md) for theqwCLI and deck ops. Create the deck withqw create deck --title "<project>: sprint plan" spec.json, then refine withqw ops. - Strategy slides (3 to 6): problem, outcome, scope in and out, risks, sprint budget and deploy targets.
One wireframe slide per feature. Each has a layout mock of the screen or surface built from shapes and text boxes (not a bullet list), and a text box named
Acceptance(bottom strip of the slide) in exactly this shape:feature: <short name> acceptance: <observable, checkable behaviour; commands, tests or visible states a gate or reviewer can verify> files hint: <paths or modules likely touched> depends on: <other feature names, or none>Never put two features on one slide. A feature without a checkable
acceptanceis not ready; ask Nick.
3. Review loop
- Send Nick the link:
https://qwork.qubitstudio.app/s/<id>. - When he says he has reviewed,
qw comment <id>and read every thread. His direct edits are already in the deck. - Apply the changes with
qw ops(small groups, one slide at a time), reply on each thread and--resolvethe handled ones. - Tell him it is ready again. Loop until Nick approves.
4. Record
- Comment on the project map issue:
Plan deck: <deck id>plus the feature list (name, one-line acceptance, depends on). - Hand off to
deck-to-issues.
Rules
- Use only the
qwcommands in the qWork skill; do not invent others. VG is frozen (2026-10-14). - Nick is on a phone: short questions, one at a time.
- The deck is the spec. If something changes later, change the deck first.
Does it work?

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
