Planning-first prevents wasted implementation effort and fragile reviews by requiring a clear, actionable plan before writing code, ensuring the team implements the right solution in a reviewable way.
Ask the planning-first skill to create a full, actionable implementation plan for the requested feature starting with an exploratory read of the codebase and two recommended approaches.

A planning-first approach prevents wasted implementation effort by requiring a clear, actionable plan before writing code. It applies to multi-step, multi-file, or architecturally-novel development tasks to ensure the team builds the right solution in a reviewable way.
The best way to plan a multi-file software refactoring task is to use a structured workflow that explores code history, asks clarifying questions, proposes approaches, and writes an actionable plan with per-task file paths and verification steps before execution begins.
Structure an actionable implementation plan by proposing two to three approaches, enumerating per-task file paths, defining verification steps, and gating code execution on explicit approval to ensure mergeable, testable phases and stop-on-failure verification.
You need a detailed architecture plan for software development when handling multi-step, multi-file, or architecturally-novel tasks. User requests like implementing, building, adding, or refactoring features require this discipline to avoid incorrect implementations and rework.
A pre-coding plan works for both single-file changes and multi-file refactoring. Light mode handles trivial single-file changes, while Full mode manages multi-file or architecturally-novel work by proposing approaches and gating execution on approval.
