SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill aids in preparing for the implementation phase by loading the current codebase state and relevant idioms, then generating a written plan for consensus before coding begins.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Load Codebase State: Access the current codebase state to ensure all relevant information is considered.
  • Matching Idioms: Incorporate idioms specific to the touched region for context-aware planning.
  • Process Guides: Reference relevant process guides to ensure best practices are followed.
  • Output Plan: Produce a written plan that both the agent and user can agree upon before implementation.

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a structured plan before starting codebase implementation?

Code planning involves loading the current codebase state, matching regional idioms, and referencing process guides to generate a written plan. This plan establishes consensus between the agent and user before any implementation begins.

What is the best way to prepare a codebase analysis for implementation preparation?

Codebase analysis for implementation preparation is done by loading the current codebase state and matching idioms specific to the touched region. Referencing relevant process guides ensures best practices are followed during the planning phase.

Do I need a charter directory to use code planning tools?

Yes, code planning requires access to both charter and corpus directories. These directories provide the necessary context and state information needed to execute the orient action and generate an accurate written implementation plan.

How does project planning handle codebase idioms during the planning phase?

Project planning incorporates idioms specific to the touched region of the codebase to ensure context-aware preparation. This allows the generated written plan to respect existing patterns and best practices before implementation starts.

Can I use process guides to ensure best practices during code planning?

Yes, code planning references relevant process guides to ensure best practices are followed. These guides are loaded alongside the codebase state and matching idioms to produce a comprehensive written plan for consensus before implementation.

Why generate a written plan for consensus before starting the implementation phase?

Generating a written plan before implementation ensures both the agent and user agree on the approach. This prevents misalignment by establishing a clear, structured plan based on the current codebase state, idioms, and process guides.
