What problem does it solve?

Developing complex features or refactors often leads to hasty decisions, regressions, or missing documentation when teams skip structured analysis and validation.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Phase-based oversight: Guides you through analysis, design, implementation, validation, optimization, and documentation before marking work complete.
• Decision discipline: Forces you to propose multiple solution options using the evaluation template, compare trade-offs, and justify the selection.
• Guarded execution: Requires incremental implementation, regression testing, optimization checks, and documentation so multi-file work stays reliable and explainable.
• Use Case: Planning a risky feature rewrite, document constraints, evaluate three architectural approaches, implement the chosen path, validate against existing tests, optimize performance, and update the changelog before shipping.

Quick Start

Ask the planning-and-development skill to walk through each phase before implementing changes.
