pre-planning

Standardize project planning documentation by generating structured plan files with headers, context, phases, and questions. This ensures clarity and traceability before development begins, aligning team understanding of the project scope.

Auto-increment and organize plan files by scanning the specified directory for existing files and automatically numbering new plans. This prevents duplication and confusion while maintaining consistent formatting and metadata for effective tracking.

Create a structured plan file for a new feature by generating a new numbered document in your project directory. The file outlines scope, context, and tasks to ensure aligned understanding before multi-step development work begins.

Automated plan file generation applies across development, system updates, and agent modifications. It requires prior structured documentation to capture detailed plans, improving workflow transparency for any multi-step project requiring formal planning.

Pre-planning maintains consistent formatting by enforcing standardized headers, metadata inclusion, and auto-incrementing numbering across all generated plan files. This prevents duplication and ensures effective tracking throughout the project lifecycle.

Auto-incremented plan files focus on documentation generation and organization, meaning they do not execute the planned tasks themselves. The skill ensures structured planning and transparency but requires manual implementation of the outlined phases.
