SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Full formal planning workflows are overkill for small, quick code changes, wasting time and adding unnecessary process overhead for low-complexity work.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • One-pass planning: Combines proposal, specification, and optional design document creation into a single short conversational workflow, no multi-step formal process required.
  • Self-contained artifacts: Generates fully documented planning outputs (proposal.md, spec files, optional design.md, tasks.md) that can be handed off to a separate implementing agent with zero prior context.
  • Use case: For a small bug fix or minor feature tweak, use this skill to get a complete, implementable plan in minutes instead of running a full multi-step planning workflow.

Quick Start

Use the simple-plan skill to create a lightweight implementation plan for adding a password reset feature to the user login page.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a lightweight implementation plan for small code changes?▼

To create a lightweight implementation plan for small code changes, use a single conversational workflow that combines proposal, specification, and optional design document creation into one rapid process, eliminating the overhead of multi-step formal planning.

When should I use lightweight planning instead of a full spec writing workflow?▼

Use lightweight planning instead of full spec writing workflows for minor bug fixes, small feature tweaks, and configuration updates that do not require extensive architectural review or multi-stakeholder alignment.

What planning artifacts are needed to hand off code changes to a separate agent?▼

Handing off code changes to a separate agent requires self-contained planning artifacts including a proposal, behavioral specs, optional design document, and implementation task placeholders that provide complete context without prior shared history.

What is the best way to plan minor feature tweaks without extensive architectural review?▼

The best way to plan minor feature tweaks without architectural review is applying a one-pass planning approach that generates fully documented, self-contained implementation artifacts in minutes rather than running a full multi-step workflow.

Does lightweight task planning work for complex software development features?▼

Lightweight task planning does not work for complex software development features requiring extensive architectural review or multi-stakeholder alignment, as it is specifically designed to eliminate overhead for low-complexity work only.
