This skill turns a design brief into an ordered, buildable task list. Each task is a vertical slice: a piece of UI that can be built, reviewed, and verified on its own.

## Example prompts

- "Break the brief into tasks"
- "What should I build first?"
- "Create a task list from the design brief"
- "Plan the build order for this feature"

## Process

1. Read the design brief. Look for `.design/*/DESIGN_BRIEF.md`. If multiple subfolders exist, use the most recently modified one, or ask the user which feature they are working on. Also check for `INFORMATION_ARCHITECTURE.md` and a tokens file in the same subfolder. If none exist, ask the user to describe what they are building.

2. Explore the existing codebase to understand what is already built. Scan specifically for:
