Development Estimation

Generate accurate development estimates for tasks, features, or projects based on complexity analysis.

When to use

• User asks for time or effort estimates

• Project sizing or scoping needed

• Complexity assessment requested

• Sprint planning or resource allocation needed

• Cost or timeline estimation required

Instructions

Usage

/sc:estimate [target] [--type time|effort|complexity|cost] [--unit hours|days|weeks]

Arguments

• target

• Task, feature, or project to estimate

• --type

• Estimation type (time, effort, complexity, cost)

• --unit

• Time unit for estimates (hours, days, weeks)

• --breakdown

• Provide detailed breakdown of estimates

Execution

• Analyze scope and requirements of target

• Identify complexity factors and dependencies

• Apply estimation methodologies and historical data

• Generate estimates with confidence intervals

• Present detailed breakdown with risk factors

Claude Code Integration

• Uses Read for requirement analysis

• Leverages Glob for codebase complexity assessment

• Applies Grep for pattern-based estimation

• Maintains structured estimation documentation
