SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates turning implementation plans into working code by reading a plan file, executing each step, and reporting changes. It helps teams convert markdown plans into concrete code and updates with a clear audit trail.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Plan-driven implementation: Reads a plan file and follows its steps to implement features or fixes.
  • Automated code changes: Creates or modifies source files according to the plan.
  • Change reporting: Presents a summary of work done and diff statistics to verify outcomes.

Quick Start

Provide a path to a plan file (for example /quick-plan/feature-update.md). Claude will read the plan, implement all steps, and return a summary including changed files and a git diff.

FAQPage Schema
How do I turn a markdown plan into working code?

Provide a path to your markdown plan file. The Skill reads each step, executes code modifications across your repository, and returns a summary with changed files and a git diff so you can verify the implementation.

Can I automate code changes from a detailed implementation plan?

Yes. The Skill parses markdown plan files, follows every step, applies code edits with prescribed patterns, and delivers a diff-style report of all changes made to your codebase.

What format should my implementation plan be in?

Your plan must be a markdown file with structured steps. The Skill reads and analyzes each step to execute the corresponding code modifications across your repository.

Does this work with existing code repositories?

Yes. The Skill modifies source files according to your plan steps and reports changes in git diff format, making it suitable for feature implementation and fixes in active codebases.

What output do I get after the Skill runs?

You receive a summary including the list of changed files, git diff statistics, and an audit trail showing exactly which code modifications were completed from your plan.
