FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a step-by-step plan for adding a new feature to my codebase?

To generate a feature development plan, this Skill interviews you about requirements, explores your codebase for existing patterns, and outputs a detailed, executable step-by-step blueprint file for an executor agent to follow.

What is the best way to create an executable blueprint for an AI agent to implement a codebase refactor?

Creating an executable blueprint for an AI agent involves analyzing your codebase structure and translating refactor requirements into fine-grained, verifiable steps that adhere to existing project patterns, which this Skill automates by producing a detailed plan file.

Can I use this feature planning approach for complex projects that require minimal human oversight?

Yes, you can use this feature planning approach for complex projects because it automates the creation of detailed, step-by-step plans that ensure significant changes can be executed by an AI agent with minimal human oversight.

How does codebase reconnaissance work when planning new software features?

Codebase reconnaissance works by using subagents to explore and understand your existing code patterns and structures, ensuring the generated feature plan integrates seamlessly with your current project architecture.

Do I need an existing codebase to use this automated feature planning process?

Yes, you need an existing codebase because the planning process relies on exploring your current code patterns and structures to ensure the generated step-by-step plan adheres to established project conventions.
