| description | Decompose a single PRD or specification into ordered work items in the configured tracker. Vendor-agnostic — the source can be a Notion PRD URL, a Confluence PRD URL, a Linear project URL, a GitHub Issue URL, an existing JIRA epic key, a markdown file, or a free-form description; the destination tracker is whatever the project is configured to use via `.lisa.config.json` `tracker` (JIRA, GitHub Issues, or Linear). Single-PRD mode only — for batch scanning of all Ready PRDs in a queue, use the lisa-intake skill. |

Plan: $ARGUMENTS
Decompose the PRD/spec at $ARGUMENTS into ordered work items with acceptance criteria, dependencies, and recommended skills/agents.
Orchestration: agent team
If you are NOT already operating inside an agent team (no prior successful team-creation or subagent-delegation tool call in this session, not spawned into a team context), the very first thing you do is establish team orchestration.
Use the team tool for the current runtime:
- Claude Code >= 2.1.178: there is no
TeamCreate tool; the team forms automatically when you spawn the first teammate with Agent. That first spawn should be the bounded specialist needed to start this flow. On older Claude Code that still exposes TeamCreate, the explicit team-create path is also acceptable.
- Codex: do not call
TeamCreate; Codex does not expose that Claude tool. Use tool_search with a query like multi-agent tools to load multi_agent_v1, then use multi_agent_v1.spawn_agent for teammate delegation. Treat the first successful spawn_agent call as establishing team orchestration.
- Other runtimes: use the current runtime's tool-discovery mechanism to discover and call the appropriate multi-agent/team tool.
If no team creation or subagent delegation tool is available, explicitly state that team orchestration is unavailable in this runtime, continue as the lead agent, and preserve the workflow's review, verification, and task-tracking obligations locally.
Until the team is established, the first Codex teammate has been spawned, or the no-team fallback has been declared, do NOT call any of: TaskCreate, Skill, MCP tools (Atlassian / Linear / GitHub / Notion), Read, Write, Edit, Bash, Grep, Glob. The initial Claude Agent spawn described above is the only pre-team exception because it establishes the team. Reading the PRD, exploring the code, fetching context — all of those are tasks for the team you are about to create, not for the lead session before orchestration exists.
If you ARE already inside an agent team (e.g., a teammate invoked this skill via the Skill tool), do NOT create a second team — many harnesses reject double-creates — and do NOT collapse the nested flow into a single inline worker. A nested team-first flow must still bring in the specialists it requires by adding them to the existing team, not by doing the work itself:
- Claude: teams are flat and only the lead can add named teammates, so do NOT call
Agent with a name from a teammate (the harness rejects it: "Teammates cannot spawn other teammates — the team roster is flat"). Send the team lead a message naming the specialist teammate(s) this flow needs, their task assignments, and completion criteria, then coordinate through the shared task list until they finish. An anonymous subagent (Agent with name omitted) is permitted only for bounded one-shot work whose result returns directly to you — it is not a substitute for the required lifecycle specialists.
- Codex: do NOT call
TeamCreate. If the lead/root agent is addressable (you were given its id/handle), send it a request to multi_agent_v1.spawn_agent the specialist agent(s), including each agent's prompt, ownership, and expected result. If no lead handle exists but spawn_agent is available to you, spawn only the bounded specialist agent(s) this flow needs, wait_agent for their results, and relay those results upward to the parent/lead.
Treat the first successful lead-spawn request (or, on the Codex fallback, the first specialist spawn) as preserving team orchestration. Never satisfy a team-first lifecycle flow by doing all the work inline.
Source dispatch
Detect the input type from $ARGUMENTS and route to the appropriate source skill:
If $ARGUMENTS is... | Hand off to |
|---|
| A Notion page URL or page ID (single PRD) | lisa-notion-to-tracker (with the PRD URL; runs the full pipeline: extract artifacts → walk live product → validate → write tickets → coverage audit) |
| A Notion database URL or database ID | Stop and report — single-PRD mode only. Direct the caller to lisa-intake for batch scanning of a database. |
A Confluence page URL containing /wiki/spaces/<KEY>/pages/<ID>/... (single PRD) | lisa-confluence-to-tracker (with the PRD URL; same full pipeline as the Notion path) |
A Confluence space URL (/wiki/spaces/<KEY> with no /pages/...) | Stop and report — single-PRD mode only. Direct the caller to lisa-intake for batch scanning of a space. |
A Linear project URL (https://linear.app/<workspace>/project/<slug>-<id>) | lisa-linear-to-tracker (with the project URL; same full pipeline as the Notion / Confluence paths). The Linear project's description, attached documents, and sub-issues form the PRD body. |
A Linear workspace URL (https://linear.app/<workspace> with no /project/...) or team URL | Stop and report — single-PRD mode only. Direct the caller to lisa-intake for batch scanning of a workspace or team. |
| A JIRA ticket ID/URL of an Epic (existing epic is the spec) | lisa-jira-agent (read epic, decompose into stories/sub-tasks) |
A Linear Project URL of a Project that is the spec, when destination tracker = linear | lisa-linear-agent (read project, decompose into Issues / sub-Issues). Symmetric counterpart to the JIRA-Epic and GitHub-Epic branches. |
A GitHub issue URL (https://github.com/<org>/<repo>/issues/<number>) or <org>/<repo>#<number> token (single PRD) | lisa-github-to-tracker (with the issue ref; runs the full pipeline: extract artifacts → walk live product → validate → write tickets → coverage audit). The destination tracker is read from . |
If no PRD or specification exists, suggest running the lisa-research skill first to produce one.
Flow
Execute the Plan flow as defined in the intent-routing rule (loaded via the lisa plugin). The rule contains the canonical step sequence (gates, sub-flows, output structure). This skill does NOT restate flow steps — change them in the rule, propagate everywhere.
Output
Work items in the configured tracker (JIRA, GitHub Issues, or Linear, per .lisa.config.json tracker) with acceptance criteria, dependencies, and recommended skills/agents per item. Ordered by dependency. Before finishing, route usage writes through lisa-usage-accounting: record the Plan run as a direct entry on the source PRD/spec artifact, attach a plan usage entry (or an explicit source: unavailable entry with nullable token/cost fields) to each created work item, and refresh the PRD rollup after lisa-prd-backlink regenerates the ## Tickets child refs. Do not invent plan-specific ledger formats or omit missing usage silently. If the specification cannot be decomposed without further clarification, stop and report what is missing.
