SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents agents from drafting the wrong plan structure by routing the correct roadmap or detail-plan template exactly when the /plan workflow creates the plan file.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Workflow-driven template loading: Selects the right template based on plan type (Roadmap, Session Plan, Detail Plan), docs-only vs code+docs scope, and whether strict TDD or hardened audit gates are requested.
  • Governance-aware plan adaptation: Forces roadmap and project governance sync (agent.rules / agent.skills) before writing any plan content to avoid hallucinated versions, missing required steps, or broken project conventions.
  • Phase readiness scaffolding: Provides detailed phase structure requirements including status lifecycle (Draft → Active) and difficulty-tag/model-hint conventions for each phase.

Quick Start

Use the Plan Templates skill to ensure an agent loads the correct template and governance context when you create a detail plan for a project with code changes.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate the correct implementation plan template for a roadmap or detail plan?

To generate an implementation plan template, the workflow routes the correct roadmap, session plan, or detail plan structure based on plan type, docs-only scope, and TDD requirements. It enforces status lifecycle and phase difficulty formatting rules before drafting.

What is workflow orchestration for phase planning and when do I need it?

Workflow orchestration for phase planning is needed when creating structured implementation plans. It synchronizes roadmap and governance context from project documentation to prevent hallucinated versions and missing required steps during plan file generation.

How do I apply TDD and hardened audit gates to a project plan?

To apply TDD and hardened audit gates to a project plan, the template routing process detects these strict requirements and selects a specialized plan structure. This ensures execution constraints and governance rules are embedded directly into the phase scaffolding.

Can I create a documentation-only plan without code changes?

Yes, you can create a documentation-only plan. The template routing mechanism identifies the docs-only scope and applies different execution constraints to the generated plan, ensuring the structure matches the documentation requirements without code dependencies.

Why does my plan template fail to match project governance conventions?

Plan templates fail to match governance conventions when roadmap and project governance synchronization is skipped. The workflow requires syncing agent rules and skills from project documentation before drafting any plan content to avoid broken conventions.

What's the best way to manage status lifecycle and phase difficulty in a roadmap?

The best way to manage status lifecycle and phase difficulty in a roadmap is using template scaffolding. It enforces the Draft to Active status progression and applies difficulty-tag and model-hint conventions for each phase during generation.
