npx claudepluginhub jpoutrin/product-forge --plugin product-designGenerates ordered task YAML from PRD markdown file with sequential IDs, dependencies, descriptions, and acceptance criteria. Use after creating or reviewing a PRD for implementation planning.
Breaks PRDs into ordered production-ready engineering tasks with embedded success criteria, tests, benchmarks, and non-functional requirements for /execute-task execution. Use for PRD-to-tasks conversion and feature planning as mergeable PRs.
Creates or updates todo.md task list artifact from requirements, organizing tasks hierarchically into Planning, Implementation, and Verification phases for development workflows.
