coding-aider-plan-generator

Generate a coding-aider plan by running this Skill with your feature description. It produces three files in .coding-aider-plans: a Markdown plan with overview and goals, a Markdown checklist for implementation tasks, and a YAML context file listing relevant source, test, and configuration files—formatted to match the IntelliJ coding-aider plugin specification.

A coding-aider plan consists of three files: a main plan in Markdown outlining objectives and approach, an implementation checklist in Markdown for task tracking, and a context.yaml file that references relevant source files, tests, and documentation—all stored in kebab-case under .coding-aider-plans.

Yes. This Skill generates structured plans for feature development, bug fixes, and refactor work. It applies to any explicit request requiring an overview, goals, implementation checklist, and file-context management—outputting the same three-artifact format regardless of task type.

The Skill automatically identifies relevant source files, test files, configuration files, and documentation based on your project structure and plan scope, then populates the context.yaml with references so the IntelliJ plugin loads the right context for execution.

This Skill requires PyYAML as a dependency to generate and format the YAML context file. It works with projects using the IntelliJ coding-aider plugin and generates output compatible with that plugin's plan format.

Yes. The template-driven generation and standardized output format make it ideal for teams creating repeatable, well-documented development plans. Each plan stores separately in .coding-aider-plans, enabling consistent planning across features, fixes, and refactors.
