What problem does it solve?
It prevents agents from creating unrequested or unverifiable plans by enforcing explicit user authorization, evidence-based design, and approval-gated execution contracts for Happier repository work.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Authorization-gated planning: Classifies requests as CREATE, REFINE, REPLACE, or AMEND and refuses to author plans without an explicit user request.
- Evidence-driven design: Requires investigation of canonical owners, entry points, compatibility seams, and failure points before selecting the smallest coherent target design.
- Self-contained execution contracts: Produces plans with intent, current-state evidence, target state, decisions, execution units, QA, completion criteria, and amendment workflows.
- Use Case: When a user asks to plan a cross-device sync feature, the skill investigates the current system, drafts a DRAFT plan with deciding checks, and waits for explicit approval before any implementation begins.
Quick Start
Ask the agent to create a Happier repository implementation plan for the specific feature or change you want, and it will draft an approval-gated plan under .project/plans/.
