What problem does it solve? Complex implementation tasks often fail because plans assume prior context, skip validation, or leave decisions undocumented. This Skill produces a fully self-contained ExecPlan that a novice agent or developer can follow end-to-end to deliver working, observable behavior. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Self-Contained Plan Authoring: Generates plans with all required context embedded, including file paths, commands, expected outputs, and plain-language definitions of jargon. - Living Document Structure: Enforces mandatory Progress, Surprises & Discoveries, Decision Log, and Outcomes & Retrospective sections that stay current as work proceeds. - Milestone and Validation Design: Structures work into independently verifiable milestones with behavior-based acceptance criteria, idempotent steps, and recovery guidance. - Use Case: When asked to plan a multi-stage feature like adding a background job queue, invoke this Skill to produce an ExecPlan covering every state-mutation path, exact test commands, and observable success criteria. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to write an ExecPlan for your feature, for example: write an executable implementation plan for adding rate limiting to the API with milestones and validation steps.
