This skill transforms high-level feature requests into actionable implementation plans by conducting deep requirement interviews, analyzing existing codebases (or planning greenfield projects), and producing comprehensive handoff documents. It distinguishes between brownfield development (with existing code to integrate) and greenfield projects (starting from scratch), ensuring your technical strategy accounts for your actual constraints and patterns.
