Why

Product PRDs describe what to build, but technical planning benefits from first identifying the thinnest end-to-end steel thread and then sequencing the remaining scope as demo-ready vertical slices. This skill creates that bridge without embedding organization-specific domain knowledge.

Parallelism must be considered while slices are formed, not added after technical tasks are generated. Capturing Dev+agent pair capacity, dependencies, safe parallel groups, and synchronization points in steel-thread.md gives Spec Kit /speckit.plan or an equivalent SDD planning step the delivery constraints needed to produce an executable design without forcing unsafe concurrency.

What changed

  • adds the host-agnostic prd-to-steel-thread skill
  • produces steel-thread.md with a solo steel thread, demo-ready slices, JIT infrastructure, and capacity-aware parallelism
  • includes generic PRD and steel-thread templates
  • adds an SDD planning/design hand-off that supports Spec Kit and other workflows
  • documents the skill in the toolkit catalogue

Steel thread ready!

The next step is to run /speckit.plan on a fresh agent and feed this steel thread MD file along with the PRD to begin the build process 🔨

Usually the PRD itself is fed into /speckit.specify as that's product oriented whereas /speckit.plan is the technical implementations steps.
