superpowers-writing-plans

To generate an implementation plan, you provide a vague goal or feature description, and the tool outputs a detailed, end-to-end plan specifying precise file paths, runnable code samples, and explicit verification steps across your codebase.

Creating a structured bug fix plan involves generating task-level steps and acceptance criteria that align with DRY, YAGNI, and TDD principles, ensuring a reasonably skilled engineer can execute the changes with minimal domain context.

Structured planning applies DRY, YAGNI, and TDD principles by producing minimal, testable changes, generating task-level steps that avoid repetition, and including explicit verification steps to validate functionality throughout the implementation process.

Yes, you can use task generation for complex feature development to produce comprehensive plans that include a docs/plans path, precise file paths, and runnable code examples, turning vague goals into concrete, executable tasks.

No, you do not need prior codebase knowledge to execute generated implementation plans, as they are specifically designed to guide developers with minimal context by providing exact file paths, runnable examples, and explicit verification steps.

Automated planning for bug fixes and feature development relies on the initial context provided and focuses on minimal, testable changes, meaning it may not address highly complex architectural refactoring outside the scope of standard DRY, YAGNI, and TDD principles.
