SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Planning for projects often yields vague guidance. create-plans delivers Claude-executable plans, enabling solo developers to drive execution with deterministic prompts and clear checkpoints.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Plans as prompts: PLAN.md is the execution prompt, containing objective, context, tasks, verification, and output.
  • Atomic task splitting: 2-3 tasks per plan to preserve quality and reduce cognitive load.
  • Domain-friendly orchestration: Bridges with domain expertise to tailor plans in specialized domains.

Quick Start

Initialize planning with Skill("create-plans"), then create BRIEF, ROADMAP, and Phase plans that Claude can execute.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create executable plans from a project roadmap?

Create-plans transforms high-level BRIEF and ROADMAP inputs into Claude-executable PLAN.md files. Each plan contains objectives, context references, 2-3 atomic tasks, verification steps, and success criteria—ready for Claude to execute without additional direction.

What's the best way to break down project phases into actionable tasks?

Create-plans splits phases into 2-3 focused tasks per plan to preserve quality and reduce cognitive load. Each task includes domain expertise integration, context loading, deviation handling, and checkpoints, keeping execution within ~50% of your context budget.

Can I use planning automation for solo developer workflows?

Yes. Create-plans is designed for solo developers who need deterministic prompts and clear checkpoints. It bridges planning with execution by generating phase-level PLAN.md prompts that satisfy functional and technical requirements without manual orchestration between steps.

How do atomic task splitting improve plan execution?

Atomic task splitting—2-3 tasks per plan—reduces cognitive overhead and improves execution quality. Each task maintains independent verification criteria and success metrics, allowing Claude to execute focused work with clear scope rather than attempting monolithic phases.

Does create-plans support domain-specific planning?

Yes. Create-plans integrates domain expertise to tailor plans for specialized fields. It bridges planning with domain knowledge, ensuring generated PLAN.md prompts address discipline-specific requirements and constraints within the execution context.
