What problem does it solve?
This Skill prevents the common pitfall of rushing into implementation without proper planning, which often leads to missed requirements, broken existing functionality, and wasted development time.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Structured 4-Phase Planning Workflow: Guides users through task understanding, critical thinking, verified action plan building, and approval presentation before any changes are made.
- Read-Only Inspection Mandate: Requires verification of all external APIs, dependencies, and change surfaces via read-only checks to avoid building plans on unverified assumptions.
- Explicit Approval Gate: Blocks all implementation actions until the user provides clear, explicit confirmation, preventing unintended system modifications.
- Use Case: Ideal for complex code refactors, feature additions, or configuration changes where missing a dependency or edge case can cause significant downstream issues.
Quick Start
Invoke the plan-mode skill when you want to create a detailed, verified implementation plan for your next coding task before writing any code.
