SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It removes ambiguity at the start of a workflow by converting a task request into a complete, implementation-ready plan with architecture fit, concrete file changes, ordered steps, and validation criteria.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Architecture Analysis: Maps proposed changes to existing codebase patterns, including naming conventions and system structure.
  • Explicit File Change List: Enumerates every file to create or modify, detailing what must change.
  • Step-by-Step Implementation Guidance: Produces ordered implementation steps with dependencies and sequencing.
  • Testing Strategy & Risk Mitigation: Defines what to test, what to validate, and how to handle edge cases, breaking changes, and performance risks.

Quick Start

Ask the planning phase to produce a complete plan for implementing your requested change, including architecture analysis, a full file modification table, ordered implementation steps, and a testing and risks section.

Frequently Asked Questions about Planning phase procedures - plan output format, architecture analysis, risk identification

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate an implementation plan for a complex development workflow?▼

Generate an implementation plan by analyzing the workflow task, mapping changes to existing codebase architecture, and outputting a structured plan with files table, ordered steps, testing strategy, and risks.

What is architecture analysis in software planning?▼

Architecture analysis maps proposed code changes to existing codebase patterns, ensuring consistent naming conventions and system structure are maintained throughout the implementation plan.

How do I identify risks and create a testing strategy for a new feature?▼

Create a testing strategy and identify risks by defining validation criteria, enumerating edge cases, addressing breaking changes, and documenting performance risks with specific mitigation steps.

Can I map proposed changes to existing codebase conventions before coding?▼

Yes, you can map proposed changes to existing codebase conventions by analyzing the workflow task and outputting an explicit file change list that respects current naming and architectural patterns.

Do I need a complete file modification list to start workflow orchestration?▼

You need a complete file modification list for workflow orchestration because it enumerates every file to create or modify, detailing what must change to drive the subsequent implementation phase.
