Create Feature Development Task Skill

Create Feature Development Task

Set up a comprehensive feature development task with proper tracking, phases, and documentation.

Execution Steps

Load and follow the standards in /python-engineering:standards-for-python-development when applying shared architecture, typing, testing, or CLI rules.

1. Parse Feature Requirements

Extract feature name and description from arguments
Identify key requirements and constraints
Determine complexity and scope

2. Generate Task Structure

Customize phases based on feature type
Add specific acceptance criteria
Include relevant technical considerations

3. Create Task Documentation

Create task file at .claude/tasks/{feature-name}.md with:

# Feature: {Feature Name}

## Overview
{Brief description}

## Requirements
- [ ] Requirement 1
- [ ] Requirement 2

## Technical Approach
{High-level design}

## Phases

### Phase 1: Design
- [ ] Review existing patterns
- [ ] Create interface definitions
- [ ] Document edge cases

### Phase 2: Implementation
- [ ] Core functionality
- [ ] Error handling
- [ ] Integration points

### Phase 3: Testing
- [ ] Unit tests (80% minimum coverage)
- [ ] Integration tests
- [ ] Edge case coverage

### Phase 4: Documentation
- [ ] Code documentation
- [ ] Usage examples
- [ ] API documentation (if applicable)

## Acceptance Criteria
- [ ] All tests pass
- [ ] Coverage meets minimum
- [ ] Documentation complete
- [ ] Code review approved

## Context Preservation
- Initial requirements: {captured}
- Key decisions: {recorded}
- Dependencies: {identified}
- Risks: {noted}

4. Set Up Tracking

Add task to TODO list using TaskCreate tool
Create initial checkpoints
Set up progress markers

Context Preservation

When creating tasks, preserve:

Initial requirements from user
Key technical decisions made
File locations involved
Dependencies identified
Risk factors noted

Integration

| Step | Command/Action | | ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ | | Prerequisites | Clear feature requirements | | Follow-up | Use python-engineering:python-cli-architect agent for implementation | | Related | python-engineering:comprehensive-test-review, python-engineering:python-pytest-architect |

Example Usage

/python-engineering:create-feature-task Add user authentication with OAuth2 support
/python-engineering:create-feature-task Implement rate limiting for API endpoints
/python-engineering:create-feature-task Create CLI command for database migrations
