What problem does it solve?
This Skill provides a structured, RFC-2119 conformant workflow framework for Claude-driven planning tasks. It helps teams encode WHY/WHAT decisions and WHEN/HOW execution steps, reducing ambiguity and enabling consistent AI-assisted feature development.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Plan Document and Tasklist: Plan documents capture architectural context and design rationale; Tasklists provide step-by-step execution guidance.
- Conformance and Tailoring: RFC 2119 keywords drive explicit requirements; tailoring guidance for different conformance levels.
- Checkpoints and Phase Workflow: Stage-based workflow with checkpoints and human reviews to maintain quality and traceability.
- Lifecycle Guidance: Brainstorm, write-plan, implement-plan, and amend-plan commands guide AI-assisted development.
Use Case: A team defines a feature and produces a Plan + Tasklist, then uses /implement-plan to incrementally implement across phases with checkpoints.
Quick Start
Load the Claude Workflow skill and begin with creating a Plan + Tasklist for a feature, then start implementation by running /brainstorm (optional) → /write-plan to generate a Plan and Tasklist → /implement-plan to begin Phase 1.
