What problem does it solve?
Planning complex software work often lacks a single, unambiguous artifact that captures entities, data flows, function contracts, parallelization, and dependencies; this Skill produces diagram-first plans that make implementation-ready decisions explicit and reviewable before any coding begins.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Diagram-first methodology: Produces mermaid-based diagrams that serve as the canonical plan, with function signatures, labeled edges, subgraphs, and parallel markers.
- Context-driven planning phases: Guides clarifying questions, codebase research, diagram generation, and iterative review to ensure plans are grounded in real project context.
- Multi-agent orchestration guidance: Advises when to use multi-agent workflows for cross-cutting features (UI, API, DB, external services) and how specialist planners should align on diagram standards and handoffs.
- Governance rules: Enforces mandatory use of a rendering tool, explicit pause for user feedback, and strict prohibition on starting implementation within the planning phase.
Quick Start
Ask the agent to create a mermaid-based implementation plan for a specified feature, including entities, function signatures, labeled data flows, external dependencies, and a summary of open questions.
