std-plan

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps users create detailed execution plans by starting from the desired end-state and working backward, ensuring that each step contributes to achieving the overall goal.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Teleological Planning: Develop plans by working backward from the desired end-state.
• Acceptance Criteria Definition: Establish clear criteria for success and verify the end-state.
• Non-Goals Definition: Identify what is not in scope to prevent scope creep.
• Backward Decomposition: Break down the end-state into smaller, actionable steps.
• Phase Gates: Set checkpoints to verify progress and ensure alignment with the end-state.
• Task-to-Outcome Mapping: Map tasks to specific acceptance criteria and end-state.
• Dependency & Risk Identification: Identify and mitigate dependencies and risks.
• Validation Checkpoints: Implement steps to validate progress and correctness.
• Subagent Challenge: Utilize subagents for feedback and validation of the plan.
• Plan Stabilization: Refine and stabilize the plan as needed.

Quick Start

To create a teleological plan for a new feature, start with defining the end-state and acceptance criteria, then work backward to identify the necessary steps and phase gates.
