  • Structured Handoff Communication: Ensures clear communication between PMs and developers using standardized formats within Plans.md.
  • Use Case: As a developer, simply say "mark the login feature task as complete" and this Skill will update Plans.md, change the marker from cc:WIP to cc:完了, and prepare a handoff summary, keeping your PM instantly informed.

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I automatically update task status in a Plans.md file?

Automatically update task status by using trigger phrases like 'mark as complete' or 'change to in-progress'. The Skill applies the correct markers (cc:完了, cc:WIP, cc:TODO) to your Plans.md, updates timestamps, and maintains consistent formatting and section order across all task state changes.

Can I use Plans.md for project management with automatic task tracking?

Yes. This Skill manages the full task lifecycle in Plans.md—adding, updating, marking complete, and archiving tasks—with automatic marker transitions, timestamp updates, and formatting enforcement. It keeps task status, priorities, and handoffs synchronized without manual overhead.

How do I structure handoffs between developers and PMs in project management?

Use Plans.md with standardized marker-based communication. The Skill enforces consistent formatting, subtask indentation, and marker semantics to ensure clear, structured handoff summaries. Supports both Japanese and English trigger phrases for updating task states and generating PM notifications.

What file format does this task management approach use?

Task management uses Plans.md, a Markdown file format. The Skill manages markers (cc:TODO, cc:WIP, cc:完了), timestamps, section ordering, indentation consistency, and subtask relationships within Plans.md to enforce uniform structure across all task operations.

Do I need to manually format tasks when adding them to a project plan?

No. Automatic formatting rules apply when you add tasks, so you don't need to manually format markers, indentation, section order, or timestamps. The Skill enforces consistent Plans.md structure across adding, updating, and archiving operations.

What's the best way to avoid losing task context during project handoffs?

Use Plans.md with automatic state management and marker transitions. The Skill keeps task context, status, and priorities synchronized by enforcing consistent formatting, section order, and marker semantics, eliminating manual sync overhead during developer-to-PM handoffs.
