SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

## What problem does it solve? This Skill automates the structured population of implementation plan sections after scaffolding, eliminating repetitive manual editing and ensuring consistent plan quality.

## Core Features & Use Cases

Guides the AMBIGUITY-ANALYZE-AUTHOR-VALIDATE cycle for plan population.
Validates references, enforces design constraints, and surfaces operator decisions.
Use case: when a pre-scaffolded plan exists, this Skill fills in Goal, Effort, Current/Desired State, Tests, and Detailed Design sections.

### Quick Start Example: Run the plan-authoring-cycle to populate a plan after scaffolding.

FAQPage Schema

How do I automate implementation plan population after scaffolding?▼

It works by guiding the AMBIGUITY-ANALYZE-AUTHOR-VALIDATE cycle during the PLAN phase, reading references, enforcing design constraints, documenting key design decisions, and surfacing risks for mitigation to produce a complete plan.

Can I use plan-authoring-cycle to enforce design constraints and document decisions?▼

Yes, plan-authoring-cycle enforces design constraints and documents key design decisions while validating references and surfacing operator decisions, ensuring consistent plan quality and eliminating repetitive manual editing.

Do I need a pre-scaffolded plan to start the plan authoring cycle?▼

Yes, you need a pre-scaffolded plan to start. The cycle applies during the PLAN phase to populate existing implementation plan sections, filling in structured details rather than creating the initial document framework.

What is the best way to surface risks and mitigate them during plan authoring?▼

The best way to surface risks during plan authoring is through the VALIDATE phase of the cycle, which automatically identifies potential issues for mitigation while populating the detailed design and tests sections.

What are the limitations of automating plan documentation with this cycle?▼

The cycle is limited to populating pre-scaffolded plan sections and does not perform initial scaffolding. It focuses on structured documentation, leaving initial framework creation and final operator approval to manual processes.
