SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill generates actionable implementation plans from inline task descriptions and creates Linear Todo issues for execution, enabling fast, outcome-oriented planning from user prompts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Inline request to plan: Convert a user-provided task description into a detailed plan with concrete steps and corresponding Linear issues.
  • Git pre-flight integration: Validate repository state and ensure readiness before planning, following the CLAUDE.md workflow.
  • Plan delivery: Produce a structured PLANS.md with per-task instructions, including file paths and context for implementation.

Quick Start

Use plan-inline to convert an inline task description into a PLANS.md with actionable tasks and linked Linear issues. For example: "Add user authentication to the app" becomes a plan with tasks and Linear TODOs.

FAQPage Schema
How do I turn an inline task description into an actionable implementation plan?▼

To turn an inline task description into an implementation plan, provide your ad-hoc feature request to generate a structured PLANS.md file containing concrete step-by-step instructions and linked Linear issues for rapid execution.

Does generating Linear issues from task descriptions work without adding them to the backlog?▼

Generating Linear issues from task descriptions creates Linear Todo issues specifically designed for ad-hoc features and quick tasks, enabling rapid planning and execution without requiring permanent backlog tracking.

When should I use inline task planning instead of full backlog tracking?▼

Inline task planning is designed for ad-hoc features and quick tasks that do not require backlog tracking. Use it when you need rapid, outcome-oriented planning directly from user prompts instead of formal project management workflows.

What is the best way to automate task planning for quick features in a Git repository?▼

The best way to automate task planning for quick features is using an inline prompt that satisfies a Git pre-flight check, analyzes project context via CLAUDE.md, and outputs a structured PLANS.md with linked Linear issues.

Why does inline task planning require a CLAUDE.md file?▼

Inline task planning requires a CLAUDE.md file to analyze project context and follow existing workflow guidance. This ensures the generated PLANS.md accurately reflects your project conventions before creating linked Linear issues.
