SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes templates (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Scaffold Plan Stack workflow scaffolding in the current project. Creates docs/plans/, templates, docs/README.md, .claude/settings.json, docs-navigator agent, and adds Plan Stack section to CLAUDE.md.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Creates essential directories: docs/plans/completed, docs/templates, .claude/agents, and .claude/agent-memory/docs-navigator.
  • Writes template files by copying templates from the skill into your project: plan-template.md and review-template.md, placed under docs/templates.
  • Generates a docs/README.md serving as a navigation hub for project documentation, updating it if needed.
  • Creates a docs-navigator agent at .claude/agents/docs-navigator.md and keeps it in sync.
  • Updates .claude/settings.json to include "plansDirectory": "docs/plans" (creating the file if it does not exist).
  • Adds a Plan Stack section to CLAUDE.md, creating the section if CLAUDE.md is absent.
  • The operation is idempotent and safe to run multiple times.

Quick Start

Run the init skill in your project to scaffold the Plan Stack workspace and configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions about init

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I scaffold project documentation templates and directories for Claude?

Scaffolding project documentation templates and directories is done by running the init command, which creates docs/plans, docs/templates, .claude/agents, and writes plan and review templates into your project automatically.

How do I set up a docs navigator agent in my current project?

Setting up a docs navigator agent involves creating the .claude/agents/docs-navigator.md file and its memory directory, which the init skill handles automatically while keeping the agent configuration in sync.

Can I safely run project setup commands multiple times without breaking existing files?

Running project setup commands multiple times is completely safe because the initialization process is idempotent, meaning it updates existing files like CLAUDE.md and settings.json without overwriting your custom configurations.

How do I merge plan directory settings into an existing .claude/settings.json file?

Merging plan directory settings into .claude/settings.json is handled automatically during initialization, adding the plansDirectory path to the configuration file or creating the file if it does not exist.

Does Plan Stack require any specific dependencies to set up project workflow scaffolding?

Plan Stack requires no additional dependencies to set up project workflow scaffolding, operating independently to generate documentation templates, agent integrations, and the navigable docs index directly in your current project.
