feature-plan-alignment

What problem does it solve?

This Skill eliminates wasted development effort from unaligned feature direction, which commonly leads to throwaway code, long clarification loops, and misaligned deliverables when teams build features before getting stakeholder sign-off on the approach.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Structured Plan Generation: Creates a 12-section engineering plan document for non-trivial features, covering scope, schema design, implementation steps, risk assessment, and explicit scope cuts.
• Stakeholder-Friendly Summaries: Produces a boss-facing JSON summary and HTML preview with decision audit trails (marked with chosen_by fields) and plain-language risk explanations for quick review.
• Automated Review Notifications: Sends scannable Discord messages with plan deliverables and a 3-option approval menu (approve, modify plan, shrink scope) to request go/no-go decisions.
• Use Case: Use this Skill for any feature touching more than 5 files, requiring 4+ commits, involving multiple design choices, RBAC changes, or cross-project schema decisions to avoid building the wrong thing.

Quick Start

Use the feature-plan-alignment skill to draft a pre-implementation plan for the new admin dashboard feature and share the boss summary HTML with David for approval before writing any code.
