What problem does it solve?

Coders often start implementations without a clear plan or evaluation criteria, which leads to scope creep and inconsistent handoffs. This skill provides a structured, plan-driven governance model that enforces a fixed sequence: load plan, evaluate feasibility, implement changes, verify, and deliver a handoff payload with documented resolutions and deviations.

Core Features & Use Cases

• 5 CRITICAL rules: plan-only, layer-dependency checks, domain cleanliness, no log+return, and tests passing as gating conditions.
• Evaluate Protocol: decide PROCEED / REVISE / RETURN before implementation, guiding risk assessment and plan alignment.
• SPEC and handoff guidance: robust verification and structured handoff payloads to code-reviewers across iterations.
• Deviation management: track push-backs and deviations from plan to preserve scope and accountability.

Quick Start

Kick off a coder workflow with the plan, evaluating feasibility, implementing changes, verifying results, and preparing the handoff payload.
