planning-preflight

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents AI agents from creating redundant plans or missing existing work by automatically gathering crucial context about the codebase and project tracker before any planning phase begins.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Codebase Indexing: Understands the current state of the repository, including recent changes and file drift.
• Issue Overlap Detection: Identifies existing issues that are superseded, overlapping, or synergistic with the current task.
• Dependency Verification: Checks for unresolved research spikes that block current planning.
• Use Case: Before writing a new feature specification, the agent runs a preflight check to ensure no similar feature is already in progress or completed, and that all necessary research has been done.

Quick Start

Run a preflight check to gather context before starting to write a new specification.
