What problem does it solve?
This Skill addresses the chaos of tackling multi-step development tasks without a clear roadmap, preventing errors, scope creep, and wasted time by providing structured, detailed plans for engineers unfamiliar with the codebase.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Comprehensive Task Breakdown: Creates bite-sized, TDD-focused steps with exact code, tests, and commands for each task.
- File Structure Mapping: Outlines precise file changes, responsibilities, and interfaces before implementation begins.
- Self-Review and Handoff: Includes built-in checks for completeness and offers subagent or inline execution options.
- Use Case: For a new feature spec involving database migrations and UI updates, it generates a plan with failing tests first, minimal implementations, and frequent commits, ensuring verifiable progress.
Quick Start
Provide your project spec to the writing-plans skill to receive a detailed implementation roadmap with step-by-step tasks.
