SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Plan-writing addresses the lack of standardized planning documents that describe what to do without executable code. It ensures teams have a clear blueprint with task identifiers, required files, validation criteria, and an approval trail.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured Task Format: Each plan uses Task X.Y with a title, target, Create/Modify/Reference files, Steps, Commit, and Verification.
  • Validation & Traceability: Explicit verification criteria and change history for audit and progress tracking.
  • Use Case: When coordinating a feature or documentation effort, teams generate a plan that can be reviewed and approved before any implementation begins.

Quick Start

Use the plan-writing skill to outline Task 1.0: "Set up project repository," include Create: "README.md", Modify: "package.json", Reference: "design-docs/initial.md"; specify steps and a verification command like "grep -R 'initial' -n" to confirm.

FAQPage Schema
How do I write a standardized project plan without including executable code?

To write a standardized project plan without code, define tasks with identifiers, target objectives, files to create or modify, steps, commit details, and verification criteria. This structured approach ensures clear handoff from planning to execution.

What is the best way to structure tasks for a planning and approval workflow?

The best way to structure tasks for a planning workflow is using a Task X.Y format that includes a title, target, Create/Modify/Reference files, Steps, Commit, and Validation details to ensure traceability and facilitate formal approval.

How do I add validation criteria to a project plan document?

Add validation criteria to a project plan by specifying explicit verification commands and expected outcomes within each task definition. This establishes clear audit trails and confirms task completion before implementation begins.

Can I use structured planning templates for coordinating feature development efforts?

Yes, you can use structured planning templates for feature development coordination. They generate a blueprint with task delineations, required artifacts, and change history that teams can review and approve before implementation starts.

Do I need to reference existing documentation when creating a task plan?

You should reference existing documentation when creating a task plan by listing it under the Reference files section. This links current tasks to established design docs, ensuring context is preserved during the planning and approval process.
