writing-plans

Implementation planning breaks a feature into concrete, executable tasks with prerequisites, test-first scaffolding (RED/GREEN), integration tests, and rollback guidance. Structure each task with exact file paths, code examples, verification commands with expected outputs, and a quality checklist to ensure completeness before deployment.

A complete plan includes task-by-task breakdown with explicit prerequisites, test artifacts written before implementation, exact file paths and code examples, integration test steps, manual verification procedures with expected outputs, and rollback guidance for each phase.

Apply test-first scaffolding by writing tests before code (RED/GREEN pattern), include integration tests that verify feature interaction, document verification commands with their expected outputs, and provide manual verification steps to catch issues before rollout.

Yes. Implementation plans include integration tests and explicit rollback guidance for each phase, enabling safe deployment with clear rollback steps if issues arise during or after feature release.

Brainstorming and design produce concepts and requirements. Implementation planning translates those into executable task sequences with specific prerequisites, code examples, test artifacts, verification commands, and quality checklists ready for development teams to execute.
