create-plan

Create-plan generates markdown-based development plans organized by phases (Scope, Context, Solution Design, Implementation, Validation, Documentation, Knowledge Capture) and subtasks. Provide your task details, and the Skill produces a main plan file at `.llms/dev-plan-[slug].md` with Git branch references, automatically ready for execution and tracking.

Create-plan offers five size-based templates—micro, small, medium, large, and epic—to match your task complexity. Each template applies consistent phase definitions and subtask structure, ensuring reproducible planning whether you're starting a quick fix or coordinating a multi-component feature.

Yes. Create-plan automatically generates subtasks with their own individual plans stored under `.llms/subtasks/`, each linked to the parent task. This enables fine-grained progress tracking and helps coordinate work across multiple files and components in a single organized workflow.

Create-plan produces plans with Git branch naming conventions (feature/[slug]) and metadata including ISO timestamps and priority levels. The plan files and branch references are designed to work directly with the execute-plan Skill for reproducible, trackable development workflows.

Create-plan outputs structured markdown files in the `.llms/` directory containing phase definitions, subtask hierarchies, and progress tracking. Plan naming follows the pattern `dev-plan-[slug].md`, with task metadata (timestamp, slug, priority) embedded to support downstream execution and integration.

Use create-plan when starting features or breaking down complex tasks that span multiple files or components. The template-driven approach enforces consistent phase coverage and subtask structure, reducing planning overhead and ensuring all phases (design through documentation) are addressed systematically.
