plan-author

You can author a project plan with measurable success criteria using a structured YAML-based planning format. The Skill validates each defined phase to ensure it is scoped, measurable, and verifiable for software development or strategic planning workflows.

The best way to validate project phases is by applying automated plan validation against the specified success criteria. This mechanism checks your YAML-based plan structure to verify that every phase has clear, measurable outcomes before development begins.

You structure a YAML project plan for feature implementation by defining each phase with explicit, measurable success criteria. This format requires domain expertise and context from earlier planning stages to ensure proper phase management and scoping.

You can use this plan validation approach for both strategic planning workflows and software development. The YAML-based planning format applies to project management broadly, ensuring phases are well-defined with clear, verifiable outcomes across domains.

Yes, you need prior planning context and domain expertise to author a detailed project plan. The plan authoring process builds upon context from previous planning stages to accurately define and validate measurable success criteria for each phase.

Project plan validation fails when phases lack measurable outcomes because the validation mechanism specifically checks for defined success criteria. Without clear, verifiable metrics in the YAML format, the system cannot confirm that a phase is properly scoped.
