SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Turning a feature request into an actionable engineering plan is often vague, inconsistent, or overloaded with detail. This Skill produces a complete, standardized plan package up front so senior engineers and stakeholders can review scope, approach, and verification criteria before any code is written. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Two-tier plan structure: Generates a high-level plan.md (executive summary, mermaid diagram, step overview) plus detailed per-step markdown files under docs/plans/<date>_<descriptor>_<hash>/steps/. - Rigor rules built in: Enforces exact file paths, exact commands with expected output, explicit lists of files to inspect/change/forbid, and pass/fail criteria per step. - Confirmation workflow: Drafts the plan first, asks the user for confirmation and revisions, then expands each step into its own file. - Use Case: A staff engineer asks for a plan to add retry logic to a failed-job pipeline. The Skill produces a plan.md with a mermaid flow diagram and four step files covering migration, retry policy, worker wiring, and test verification. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to create an implementation plan for the feature or change you want to build.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create an implementation plan for a new feature?

Ask for an implementation plan describing the change. The Skill drafts a plan.md with overview, mermaid diagram, approach, and step summaries, asks for your confirmation, then expands each step into a detailed markdown file under docs/plans.

What structure does the generated implementation plan follow?

Plans live in docs/plans/<date>_<descriptor>_<hash>/ with a plan.md router plus a steps/ directory containing one file per step. UI changes also get before/after screenshots in an images/ directory.

What goes into each implementation plan step file?

Each step lists files to inspect, files allowed to change, files forbidden to change, the work to perform, and must-pass and must-fail criteria with exact commands and expected output.

Can I review and revise the plan before steps are written?

Yes. The Skill writes a draft plan.md first and explicitly asks for confirmation and revisions. Only after you approve does it expand the plan into individual step files.

What are the limitations of this planning approach?

The plan.md stays high-level by design and must not contain code, variable names, or full implementation details. It also avoids delegated steps requiring hidden judgment, so highly exploratory work may need scoping first.
