SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you create detailed, step-by-step implementation plans before writing code, ensuring a structured and test-driven development process.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • TDD-Focused Planning: Generates plans that start with writing failing tests, followed by minimal implementation.
  • Bite-Sized Tasks: Breaks down complex features into small, manageable tasks (2-5 minutes each).
  • Use Case: Before implementing a new user authentication flow, use this Skill to generate a plan that outlines each test, the exact code to write, and the commit message for every small step, ensuring test coverage from the outset.

Quick Start

Use the plan skill to create an implementation plan for adding a new user profile page.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a test-driven development plan for a new software feature?

To create a test-driven development plan, you structure feature implementation into atomic, time-boxed tasks (2-5 minutes) that begin with writing failing tests, followed by minimal code implementation and verification. This approach ensures test coverage from the outset by defining exact file paths, code snippets, and commit checkpoints.

What is the best way to break down complex software development tasks into manageable steps?

The best way to break down complex software development tasks is to divide them into small, manageable, time-boxed tasks of 2-5 minutes each. This structured coding approach defines exact file paths, code snippets, commands, and commit checkpoints for every small step.

How does TDD-focused planning integrate with issue management and context querying?

TDD-focused planning integrates with issue management by using `kodo track` for tracking issues and `kodo query` for retrieving context. This facilitates structured coding by aligning atomic tasks, exact code snippets, and commit checkpoints with your development workflow.

Can I generate exact code snippets and file paths before writing implementation code?

Yes, you can generate exact code snippets and file paths before writing implementation code. The planning process structures work by defining exact file paths, code snippets, commands, and commit checkpoints, ensuring a structured, test-driven development process before actual coding begins.

Why should I start implementation tasks with failing tests instead of writing code first?

You should start implementation tasks with failing tests to ensure a strict test-driven development process. This method guarantees test coverage from the outset by defining failing tests, followed by minimal code implementation and verification for each atomic 2-5 minute task.
