Two sources, in order: - -### 1. The Initiative, via the funnel - -If the breakdown sits under a BW Initiative, **run `Skill(navigating-the-initiative-funnel)`** to pull: - -- The initiative's affected-teams list — the shepherd has typically identified this during Scoping & Commitment. -- Sibling teams' epics under the same initiative — these become rows in the signoff table, and each links to the sibling team's own breakdown in the "Associated Other Team Breakdown" column. -- The shepherd themselves — they hold the cross-team coordination context this skill is built around. Loop them in early, especially if a signoff is going to be contentious. - -The funnel-first approach is the default when an initiative exists. It produces a signoff list that reflects the same affected-teams picture the shepherd is reporting to leadership. Drift between the two is itself a signal worth surfacing. - -### 2. The cross-team checklist, for team-scoped work or initiative gaps - -When no initiative exists, or when the initiative's affected-teams list is missing rows that the work clearly touches, walk the Part 3 cross-team checklist directly. Each question maps to potential signoff rows: - -- **Will there be mobile changes?** If yes, the Mobile team is on the list — and any mobile changes need to be defined as separate Jira stories that are moved to the Mobile team's board. Mobile work is structurally separate; don't fold it into the originating team's stories. -- **Components, services, or files outside the team's domain?** Each affected area implies the owning team is on the list. **Contact their tech lead and EM via DM** to evaluate impact before adding them — surprise signoff requests don't work well. If a sibling team's breakdown for related work already exists, link it in the "Associated Other Team Breakdown" column. -- **Reliance on other teams' services?** Significant reliance triggers two checks: is the dependency stable (no major tech debt flagged in that area, no near-term replacements planned), and is the other team aware of the volume/shape of the usage. The owning team is on the signoff list. If their tech debt is a real risk, surface it as a Part 5 open question in the breakdown. -- **Building an API or service for another team?** If yes, **consider producing the interface first** so the consuming team can code against it while implementation is in flight. The consuming team needs to be consulted twice: once after the interface design is complete (the breakdown level), and again at the PR stage of the implementation. Both reviews go on the signoff list. - -## The Part 3 Signoff Table - -A worked example with both in-flight and fully-signed-off shapes lives at `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/coordinating-cross-team-breakdown/examples/signoff-table.md`. Use it as a shape reference for what good cells look like, the Blocking-vs-advisory distinction, and what a healthy table looks like at PROPOSED versus ACCEPTED. - -The template specifies five columns. Treat each as load-bearing: - -| Column | What goes in it | -| ----------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -| **Team** | The owning team's name. One row per team — combine sub-interfaces under a single team's row in the "Describe interface" cell. | -| **Describe interface** | What this breakdown asks of the other team. "API endpoint they will consume," "shared service they own that we extend," "component library extension," "mobile parity for new feature." Specific enough that the other team's tech lead can react to it. | -| **Blocking?** | Yes/No. Is this team's signoff a hard gate on moving to ACCEPTED, or is it advisory (FYI-level)? Get this right — over-marking as Blocking stalls breakdowns; under-marking produces signoffs that get ignored. | -| **Associated Other Team Breakdown** | Link to the sibling breakdown if the other team is producing their own. Empty when the other team isn't producing a breakdown for this specific interface (advisory rows often have no associated breakdown). | -| **Signoff** | The named human who signed off, with the date. Not "the team" — a specific tech lead, engineer, or EM. Empty until signoff is received. | - -**Rule of thumb on Blocking?:** if the other team owns code the change directly modifies, calls into, or depends on the contract of, signoff is Blocking. If the other team is being informed because their area is adjacent or could be incidentally affected, signoff is advisory. - -## Chasing Signoffs - -Once the table is built, signoffs become the gating work to move from `PROPOSED` to `ACCEPTED`. A few rules: - -- **Reach out directly to the named human in the other team's signoff row.** A DM to a tech lead beats an @-channel post; an @-channel post beats nothing. The breakdown link is sufficient — they should be able to evaluate from the doc plus any linked Part 4 artifacts. -- **Don't accept "looks fine" without a name and date in the signoff column.** A breakdown that moves to ACCEPTED with empty signoff cells defeats the artifact. -- **Treat blocking signoffs as blockers.** If a Blocking row has been outstanding for more than a sprint, escalate — to the shepherd if there's one, to the team's EM if not. Long-open blocking signoffs are usually a symptom that the cross-team interface is contested and needs renegotiation, not just patience. -- **When a signoff surfaces an issue, route it back through `Skill(writing-tech-breakdowns)`.** Material design changes belong in the engineering content, not in Slack threads attached to a signoff request. Update Parts 1–4 in the breakdown, re-confirm with anyone who has already signed off, then re-circulate. - -### Shepherd-Mediated Escalation - -When the breakdown sits under an initiative and a signoff is contested: - -- **Surface to the shepherd before negotiating directly with the other team's tech lead.** Cross-team consistency across an initiative is the shepherd's job — they've seen the same interface from the other team's side and likely have context the team doesn't. -- **The shepherd can pull Architecture Council in** if the contested interface has architectural implications. Don't escalate to Architecture directly; route through the shepherd. -- **If there's no shepherd** (team-scoped breakdown), escalate to the team's EM and the other team's EM. Cross-EM commitments aren't made unilaterally at the IC level — that's a leadership conversation by design. - -Run `Skill(navigating-the-initiative-funnel)` for the escalation paths — they're documented there in detail. - -## The Cross-Team Checklist, Walked Once - -Independent of the signoff table, Part 3's cross-team checklist is also a forcing function on the breakdown itself. Walk it explicitly before considering Part 3 complete: - -- **Mobile changes** — defined as separate Jira tasks/stories on the Mobile team's board. Don't fold mobile work into the originating team's stories; the Mobile team owns its sprint and its codebase. -- **Components/services/files outside the team's domain** — already accounted for in the "Related breakdowns" linkage from Part 1? If not, contact the affected team's tech lead and EM via DM, then add them to the signoff list. Don't surface dependencies during cross-team review for the first time. -- **Using other teams' services** — verify the dependency is stable. Check publicly visible tech debt indicators, recent incidents, or planned deprecations. If concerns exist, raise them as Part 5 open questions in the breakdown. -- **Building APIs for another team** — the interface-first pattern. Produce the contract early, consult the consuming team at design and at PR. - -This walk is fast on a small breakdown and material on a large one. Don't skip it for the latter. - -## Moving to ACCEPTED - -The breakdown moves from `PROPOSED` to `ACCEPTED` when **every blocking signoff is captured in the Part 3 table with a named human and a date**. Advisory signoffs that remain open are not a gate; they should be chased to closure but don't block ACCEPTED. - -The state machine is defined in `Skill(writing-tech-breakdowns)`; confirm the transition rules there. In practice the move to ACCEPTED means setting the status field at the top of the breakdown and recording the transition date. - -Once ACCEPTED, implementation can begin. Material changes after ACCEPTED require either superseding the breakdown or moving it back to PROPOSED and re-circulating affected signoffs — see the lifecycle rules in `Skill(writing-tech-breakdowns)`. - -## The Completion-Communication Checklist - -When implementation has shipped and the breakdown is ready to move to `COMPLETE`, run the closing checklist from the template: - -1. **Verify signoff from all involved teams.** Re-read Part 3. Every blocking row has a named human and date; every advisory row has a closure note. If anything is still open, close it before marking COMPLETE. -2. **Post a link in `#team-eng-tech-breakdowns`** for cross-team visibility. This is the org-wide announcement that the breakdown landed. Other teams browse this channel to spot cross-cutting changes — skipping the post is invisible until somebody downstream is blindsided. -3. **Contact the responsible QA Engineer** so they can review the breakdown and build test cases against the design. QA leans on the breakdown as the source of truth for test coverage — get the right QA owner involved explicitly. If a QA owner hasn't been identified, post on the team-internal Slack channel to surface them. -4. **Contact the refinement facilitator for the team** to make sure the resulting tasks can be included in the next refinement session. This is the bridge from breakdown to sprint planning — without it, the breakdown's stories sit in the backlog instead of being picked up. - -Then set status to `COMPLETE`. The breakdown is now a reference artifact — no further edits except corrections to factual errors. - -## The REJECTED Terminal State - -The terminal alternative to COMPLETE. Use when cross-team review surfaces incompatibilities or blockers that can't be resolved within the breakdown's scope. Preserve the breakdown — it's the historical record of why the approach didn't work — and produce a new breakdown if the work is being re-shaped. Communicate the rejection on `#team-eng-tech-breakdowns` so other teams know not to plan against the original. - -## Common Mistakes - -- **Building the signoff table without funnel context.** When an initiative exists, the shepherd has already done team-identification work. Ignoring that produces drift and duplicated signoffs. -- **Over-marking signoffs as Blocking.** Every blocking row is a hard gate. If half the table is blocking, the breakdown won't move to ACCEPTED. Reserve Blocking for teams whose code the change touches or whose contract the change depends on. -- **Under-marking signoffs as Blocking.** Advisory signoffs from teams that own the code being modified produce signoffs that get ignored — and surprises during implementation. -- **Letting signoffs go open without escalation.** A blocking row outstanding for a sprint is a contested interface, not a patience problem. Escalate via the shepherd or EMs. -- **Negotiating cross-team interfaces directly when there's a shepherd.** Cross-team consistency is the shepherd's job. Direct tech-lead-to-tech-lead negotiation undercuts that and produces designs that diverge across teams in the same initiative. -- **Skipping the completion-communication checklist.** Posting on `#team-eng-tech-breakdowns`, contacting QA, and looping in the refinement facilitator are the mechanisms that translate a finished breakdown into actual downstream work. Skipping them produces breakdowns that ship code but never reach the teams that need to know. -- **Editing the signoff table to record a signoff that wasn't actually given.** If a signoff is genuinely contingent ("yes, with these caveats"), capture the caveats in Part 5 as open questions before moving to ACCEPTED. Don't paper over conditional signoffs. - -## Reference - -- [Tech Breakdown Template](https://bitwarden.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/EN/pages/2920349776) (page `2920349776`) — canonical.

Continue with the existing `tasks.md`. + +Surface the resolved paths to the user once before moving on: _"Working against breakdown ``, Tasks file at `/tasks.md` ()."_ + +### Phase 2: Decompose the Plan into tasks + +Walk the Plan from multiple dimensions to gather full context before decomposing: + +1. The overall Architecture, to understand broadly what the implementation is across all layers of the application. +2. The per-layer breakdown, for details as to how the plan applies in each layer of our application. +3. The external inputs around security, deployment, and testing strategies. +4. Any PoCs attached in the breakdown. Read those into context as well and use any code in the PoC to inform your task details. +5. Any existing tasks defined in `tasks.md` (if resuming from a previous iteration). + +Identify the units of change that would land independently, in reviewable, testable chunks of work. Each unit becomes one row. + +If, when constructing a task, you encounter ambiguity in individual task scope - whether splitting or merging may be desirable - present 2 or 3 options with tradeoffs via `AskUserQuestion`. Do not pick unilaterally; task-boundary calls are the user's. If there are no questions, do not prompt the user. + +When decomposing into tasks, make sure that the solution is **MECE**: + +- **Mutually exclusive**: The work does not overlap. +- **Collectively exhaustive**: All work described in the Plan is captured in a task, and the tasks satisfies all the requirements of the Spec. + +If you encounter gaps that the tasks will not fill, or duplicative work between tasks, attempt to resolve the gap by reframing the task split. If that cannot be done, use `AskUserQuestion` to present the problem and ask user input. + +**Row count check.** Once a full task decomposition is done, count the rows. If 10 or more, surface to the user: _"Tasks section has N rows — past the 10-task heuristic. Have you considered splitting along a natural seam (sequential phase, independently shippable subset, interface boundary)?"_ Soft prompt, not a block. Tightly coupled work that genuinely cannot split is allowed. This may result in Plan decomposition. + +### Phase 3: Self-review + +Final pass before `tasks.md` is reviewer-ready. Run it yourself against the saved file; no subagent. + +1. **Placeholder scan.** Verify `tasks.md` contains no `TBD`, `TODO`, "decide later", "figure out during implementation", "various", "as needed", "handle edge cases" without a named set, "wire up existing service" without naming the service, "update tests" without naming the test files. Rewrite anything that matches into a concrete row, or fold it into the row whose code it tests. +2. **Spec coverage.** Walk the Specification's What and Why items in the breakdown. For each, point to the row in `tasks.md` that implements it. Any What/Why item with no Task row is a coverage gap; surface it before continuing. +3. **Dependency graph sanity.** + - Every `Blocked by: Task N` and `Depends on: Task N` must point to a real Task N in `tasks.md`. + - External dependencies (e.g., `PM-XXXXX`) must be Jira keys, not prose. If the breakdown only describes the dependency narratively, ask the user for the Jira key. + - No cycles. If Task A blocks Task B and Task B blocks Task A, the decomposition is wrong; surface and split. +4. **Stand-alone check.** No row references "Similar to Task N" or relies on a sibling row for its content. Each row reads completely on its own. +5. **Owner attribution.** Every row has an Owner. Cross-team rows match the Cross-team engagement section of the breakdown; a row whose Owner is another team must also be reflected in that team's signoff row. If it is not, surface as a Cross-team engagement gap (not fixed here). +6. Tasks are mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive. + +If you find issues, fix them inline in `tasks.md` or surface them to the user if there is any clarification needed. + +### Phase 4: Output + +When self-review is complete, notify the user that `tasks.md` is ready for review.

It captures the technical design — what's being built, what it touches, what alternatives were considered, what the cross-team impact is — at the level of fidelity another engineer or another team can act on. This skill is the working playbook for drafting the engineering content (Parts 1, 2, 4, 5, 6) and managing the document's status lifecycle.

Two common ownership patterns: - -- **Engineer-led:** an engineer picks up a piece of scope and drafts the breakdown end-to-end, with the tech lead reviewing before it moves to PROPOSED. -- **Tech-lead-led:** the tech lead frames the problem, populates Parts 1 and 2 with the team, and divides Part 4 specification artifacts among engineers. - -This skill is written for whoever is at the keyboard. The activities are the same; the review path differs. - -## Before You Start: Orient on the Initiative - -If the change exists under a larger BW Initiative — an epic the team received from a shepherd through the Software Initiative Funnel — **run `Skill(navigating-the-initiative-funnel)` first**. It surfaces the context that feeds multiple parts of the breakdown: - -- The originating initiative epic, its architecture plan, and the PoC PRs the shepherd produced — these are the source material for Parts 1, 2, and 4. -- The shepherd's stated success criteria and constraints — Part 2 questions get answered against these, not against guesses. -- Sibling teams' epics under the same initiative — these populate the "Related breakdowns" link in Part 1 and seed Part 3's signoff table (handled in `Skill(coordinating-cross-team-breakdown)`). -- The shepherd themselves — escalate ambiguous scope or cross-team interface questions to them rather than resolving unilaterally. - -If no initiative exists — the work is purely team-scoped — skip this step and note it explicitly in Part 1 ("not part of an active initiative"). A breakdown without an initiative is fine; a breakdown drafted in a vacuum when an initiative exists is not. - -## Starting a New Breakdown - -The template lives in the team's "Tech Breakdown" folder in Confluence. Setup steps from the template's preamble: - -1. **Copy the template** into the team's folder. Don't edit the template page directly. -2. **Switch permissions to view-only** via the lock icon in the upper right. Tech breakdowns are reference artifacts after they're ACCEPTED — they should not be silently re-edited. -3. **Delete the template checklist** at the top once the copy is made. -4. **Fill the header block:** Owner (the human accountable, not a team), Deadline (when the breakdown itself is expected to be done — not when implementation ships), Status (start at `IN PLANNING`). - -The header block is metadata that downstream readers — QA, refinement facilitators, other teams — rely on. Don't leave it blank. - -## The Status Lifecycle - -The template defines six states. Move through them deliberately — status is how cross-team consumers know whether to engage: - -- **IN PLANNING** — expected, but not actively being worked on. Use when the breakdown is committed to but the team hasn't started drafting. Don't sit here for long; it's the weakest signal of intent. -- **IN PROGRESS** — actively being drafted. Parts 1, 2, and any Part 4 child pages are being filled in. Cross-team review is not yet appropriate. -- **PROPOSED** — ready for review. Parts 1, 2, 4, 5 are complete; Part 3's signoff table identifies who needs to review. **This is the gate to `Skill(coordinating-cross-team-breakdown)`** — once the doc reaches PROPOSED, the work shifts from authoring to coordination. -- **ACCEPTED** — all affected teams have signed off via Part 3. The breakdown is now the agreed-on technical design. The team can begin implementation. Implementation should not begin before this state when cross-team interfaces are involved. -- **COMPLETE** — implementation has shipped and the completion-communication checklist (handled in `Skill(coordinating-cross-team-breakdown)`) has run. -- **REJECTED** — review surfaced incompatibilities or blockers that can't be resolved. The breakdown is preserved as historical record; a new breakdown supersedes it. - -Two state-transition rules worth holding in mind: - -- **Don't skip PROPOSED.** Moving straight from IN PROGRESS to ACCEPTED hides the cross-team review work and produces signoffs that read like rubber stamps. -- **Don't reopen ACCEPTED for material changes.** If the design needs to change after teams have signed off, either supersede with a new breakdown or push the change back to PROPOSED and re-run the relevant signoffs. Silent edits after ACCEPTED defeat the point of the artifact. - -If the lifecycle on the canonical page differs from what's described here, the canonical page wins — fetch it via `get_confluence_page` on page `2920349776`. - -## Part 1: The Problem Overview - -Three fields. Each is short but load-bearing. - -### Feature description and overview - -Link the Jira epic or story, the Product feature document, and the design files. Then write one or two paragraphs framing the problem in the team's voice — what's being built, who it's for, why now. **Do not paste the Product spec.** A breakdown is a technical document; the problem section is the bridge from Product intent to engineering work, not a copy of the requirements. - -If the Product feature document is incomplete or contradicts what the team has been told, surface it here as an open question (Part 5) rather than guessing. Ambiguous Product intent is the single biggest source of churn in breakdowns. - -### Related breakdowns - -If this work is part of a larger initiative — almost always when a shepherd is involved — link sibling teams' breakdowns here. Use `Skill(navigating-the-initiative-funnel)` to find them, or ask the shepherd directly. Cross-linking matters: a reader landing on this breakdown should be able to trace back to the initiative and across to peer-team work in two clicks. - -For team-scoped work with no parent initiative, write "Not part of an active initiative" rather than leaving the field blank. - -### Are there alternative solutions that could accomplish the Product requirements with less effort? - -Answer honestly. The point of this field is to force the question — "could we satisfy Product with a smaller change?" — not to produce a long alternatives table. One or two sentences is usually right. If a smaller approach exists and is being rejected, name the reason. - -**Distinction from Part 4:** Part 1's alternatives are "could we not build this in this shape at all?" Part 4's per-artifact alternatives are "given we're building this, which designs did we reject for each component?" Don't conflate them. - -## Part 2: The Breakdown Scope Checklist - -This is the heart of the breakdown — a systematic survey of what the change touches. Each question has a yes/no flavor, but the value is in the follow-ups: when "yes," what's the actual scope, and what does it imply for compatibility, security, and other teams. - -Apply architectural judgment as you answer. **Use `Skill(architecting-solutions)` (in the `bitwarden-tech-lead` plugin) as the lens** — blast-radius assessment, dual-data-access parity, V±2 client compatibility, multi-client reality. Don't re-derive those principles here; reach for the skill. - -The canonical checklist on page `2920349776` is authoritative. Here is the operating summary: - -### Database changes - -If yes, list the tables, columns, and indexes affected. Then ask: **will these changes need to be backwards compatible** under Bitwarden's [EDD (Evolutionary Database Design) model](https://contributing.bitwarden.com/contributing/database-migrations/edd)? Self-hosted instances cannot roll back migrations. If the change is backwards-incompatible, the rollout must be phased — make the phasing explicit here. - -### API changes - -If yes, list the endpoints and contract changes. Then ask: - -- **Backwards compatibility** — same constraint as DB: clients in the wild are at varying versions. V±2 client compatibility is the standard lens. -- **Unauthenticated endpoints** — if any new endpoint is unauthenticated, **this requires Architecture Review**. Flag it explicitly and do not treat the breakdown as PROPOSED-ready until Architecture is in the loop. - -### UI components - -What components are touched, added, or changed? Then: - -- **Shared team-owned components.** If shared components change, consider splitting those changes into their own tasks/PRs so they can be verified and tested independently. Re-testing all shared use cases together is the failure mode. -- **Component Library (base) changes.** If a base component is being modified, alert the Design System team and discuss whether they can support the work by Product/Design's timeline. If they can't, request their approval for the API/UI changes the team will make. -- **New components** — list them. For each, ask whether it's a candidate for the Component Library. If yes, alert the Design System team and discuss how to shape the component's API for future Component Library extraction. - -### SDK changes - -If the work touches the SDK, ask all four: - -- Changes to public FFI-exposed APIs? -- Changes to public SDK internal APIs? -- Changes to team-internal SDK internal APIs? -- Opportunity to **move existing logic to the SDK** — this is the question most often skipped. If TypeScript logic could live in the SDK and be shared across clients, the breakdown is the right place to surface it. - -### Services touched - -List the services. If touching pre-existing TypeScript services, **ask whether the work should include migrating to a high-level SDK method** rather than extending the TypeScript service. Don't extend without weighing this — it's how SDK adoption stalls. - -### Hosting - -Is this feature supported on Self-Hosted, Cloud, or both? Self-hosted has constraints (no rollback for DB migrations, longer upgrade lag, no centralized infrastructure to lean on) that change the design. - -### Feature flagging - -Will this feature be feature-flagged, or live on a long-lived feature branch? If flagged, where is the flag enforced — server-side, client-side, both? Which UI surfaces and services are gated by it? Long-lived feature branches are usually a smell; surface them so the team can decide whether the change is really shaped right. - -### Security considerations - -Answer all three: - -- **Cryptographic work** — does it need internal review, external review, or a security proof? If unsure, treat as needing internal review; route through `Skill(bitwarden-security-context)` (in the `bitwarden-security-engineer` plugin). -- **Existing security definitions** — are there ones in this area? Can new ones be built? `Skill(threat-modeling)` (in the `bitwarden-security-engineer` plugin) is the source for definition format. -- **Breaking changes** — will any existing security definitions be invalidated by this work? If yes, the breakdown is incomplete until Security Engineering is consulted. - -### Testing considerations - -What testing is required beyond the standard unit/integration coverage? Cross-platform tests, performance tests, security tests, load tests, manual QA flows. Note who runs each — the team, QA, security, another team. - -### Technical debt considerations - -What tech debt could be paid off opportunistically while this work is in progress? Be selective — pulling unrelated cleanup into the scope is how breakdowns balloon. The right answer is often "none, but document candidates for future work." - -### Developer-environment differences - -Does the solution need different behavior in developer environments — different defaults, mock backends, separate config? Note them so the team isn't surprised when local-vs-prod parity breaks. - -## Part 4: Specification Artifacts - -Larger breakdowns produce one or more child pages — specification documents that go deeper than the breakdown can. Each child page covers one major component or decision area: an API contract, a data schema, a UI component API, a cryptographic scheme. - -Link each artifact in Part 4's table. For each, verify before the breakdown moves to PROPOSED: - -- **The public interface is defined.** API contracts, data schemas, component APIs are spelled out at the level another team or engineer can code against. -- **Key behaviors and edge cases are covered.** Use Part 2's checklist as the lens — if the artifact touches DB, API, UI, SDK, hosting, the corresponding considerations show up in the spec. -- **Alternatives considered are listed.** For each significant design decision, name the alternatives and why they were rejected. This is Part 4's alternatives section — different from Part 1's "could we not build this at all." -- **The artifact has been reviewed by affected teams** from Part 3's cross-team table. This is the bridge into `Skill(coordinating-cross-team-breakdown)` — Part 4 child pages often need their own per-team review before the parent breakdown can move to ACCEPTED. - -If the breakdown is small enough that no child pages are needed, say so explicitly: "Specification is contained in Part 2 above; no separate artifacts required." Don't leave Part 4 silently empty. - -## Part 5: Open Questions - -Track every unresolved question with an owner and (ideally) a target resolution date. Open questions are not a sign of an incomplete breakdown — they're the explicit acknowledgment of what the team doesn't yet know. Hidden assumptions are the failure mode; tracked questions are healthy. - -Move questions to closed (or delete them, with the resolution captured in Parts 1–4 as appropriate) as they're answered. A breakdown shouldn't reach ACCEPTED with material questions still open — if a question is blocking, treat it as a blocker and don't move to PROPOSED. - -## Part 6: AI Context - -This block exists for Claude (and future engineers using Claude) coming back to the breakdown later. Populate it explicitly: - -- **What this page is.** One sentence: the breakdown for `<feature>`, owned by `<team>`, currently at `<status>`. -- **What to read first.** The linked Jira epic, the originating initiative (if any), the architecture plan section, the PoC PRs, the Product spec. -- **What to read next.** Part 4 child pages relevant to the task at hand. -- **Known sharp edges.** Anything an engineer or AI assistant should know that isn't obvious from reading the doc top-to-bottom — assumed prior context, deliberately unfinished sections, known wrong information awaiting update. - -A populated AI Context block is what makes the breakdown useful in future Claude conversations. Skipping it is a tax on every future read. - -## When You Move to PROPOSED - -Once Parts 1, 2, 4, and 5 are complete and the team has reviewed internally, set status to `PROPOSED`. Then **invoke `Skill(coordinating-cross-team-breakdown)`** — the work shifts from authoring (this skill) to cross-team coordination (the companion skill). The companion skill owns: - -- Building or populating the Part 3 signoff table. -- Walking the cross-team checklist (mobile changes, components outside the team's domain, dependencies on other teams' services, APIs built for other teams). -- Chasing signoffs to move from PROPOSED to ACCEPTED. -- Running the completion-communication checklist before the breakdown moves to COMPLETE. - -The state machine lives in this skill; the cross-team workflow lives in the companion. They compose by cross-reference, not auto-invocation. - -## Common Mistakes - -- **Drafting in a vacuum.** Initiative context — the shepherd, sibling teams' epics, the architecture plan — is the input that makes Parts 1 and 3 correct. Skipping `Skill(navigating-the-initiative-funnel)` when an initiative exists is the most common upstream error. -- **Pasting Product spec into Part 1.** The breakdown is a technical document. Link the spec; don't reproduce it. -- **Treating Part 2 as a yes/no checklist.** The value is in the follow-ups. "Yes, DB changes" with no scope and no compatibility analysis is no better than skipping the question. -- **Skipping Part 4 alternatives.** "We picked this design" without "we considered and rejected these" is a breakdown that hides its own decisions. Future readers — and reviewers in Part 3 — need the alternatives to assess the choice. -- **Leaving Part 6 empty.** The AI Context block is cheap to populate while drafting and expensive to reconstruct later. -- **Moving to ACCEPTED without all Part 3 signoffs.** The whole point of the state is that affected teams have signed off. Treating it ceremonially produces breakdowns that nobody trusts. -- **Editing an ACCEPTED breakdown silently.** If the design needs to change materially, supersede or move back to PROPOSED — don't quietly revise. - -## Reference - -- [Tech Breakdown Template](https://bitwarden.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/EN/pages/2920349776) (page `2920349776`) — canonical.
