What problem does it solve?
This Skill provides a structured approach to planning software features by framing options, analyzing trade-offs, and generating ready-to-use documentation folders. It helps teams decide between approaches like feature additions, architecture changes, and refactors, while ensuring a clear, auditable plan.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Structured option generation: produces 2-3 viable options with pros/cons and impact analysis.
- Parallel document generation: creates OVERVIEW, OPTIONS, IMPLEMENTATION, RISKS, and REFERENCES in a dedicated folder, ready for review.
- Guided workflow: enforces a sequential planning process and prepares a ready-to-execute plan in .claude/plan/00.[feature]/ with a consistent naming scheme.
- Use cases: planning a new authentication flow, a UI redesign, or a database migration, with an auditable trail.
Quick Start
Start by invoking the plan skill for your feature, e.g., /plan user authentication redesign, and review the generated plan folder at .claude/plan/00.[feature] before proceeding.
