SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Plan-first workflow for coordinating multi-step tasks by generating a checkable plan and exposing progress before implementation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Plan generation: Break tasks into checkable steps and write the plan to tasks/todo.md.
  • Progress visibility: Mirror each step into TaskCreate for a live task list.
  • Verification upfront: Include a verification plan section to reduce ambiguity before coding.
  • Plan templates: Use the Plan Template to standardize how plans are written and reviewed.

Quick Start

Provide a complex task description to trigger Plan Mode, and let it generate a todo plan in tasks/todo.md.

Frequently Asked Questions about plan-mode

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I plan complex multi-step tasks before starting implementation?▼

Generate a checkable plan in tasks/todo.md to break non-trivial tasks into checkable steps, mirroring each step into TaskCreate for live progress tracking before implementation begins.

When should I use a plan-first workflow for project management?▼

Use a plan-first workflow for tasks with 3+ steps or architectural decisions where verification and specifications must be designed upfront to reduce ambiguity before implementation.

How do I reduce ambiguity in task specifications before coding?▼

Reduce ambiguity by enforcing a plan-before-implementation rule that requires a verification section and a clear review area in the plan template before coding starts.

Does plan-mode work without external dependencies or components?▼

Plan-mode works without external dependencies or components, relying solely on a Plan Template in tasks/todo.md and TaskCreate to coordinate multi-step workflows.

What is the best way to track progress on non-trivial architectural tasks?▼

Track progress by mirroring each checkable plan step into TaskCreate, exposing a live task list that shows completion status as you work through the plan in tasks/todo.md.

Why does my task planning fail without a verification section?▼

Task planning fails without a verification section because the plan template enforces upfront verification design to reduce ambiguity and ensure specs are reviewed before implementation.
