writing-plans

To turn a feature specification into an implementation plan, feed the written requirements into a planning workflow to generate structured, executable task lists. This process provides phase-specific tasks, file touchpoints, and documentation requirements.

Decomposing a multi-phase feature involves generating one plan file per phase alongside an orchestration index. Each generated file details specific file changes, required tests, and documentation to guide the entire engineering workflow.

Yes, you can apply TDD principles during plan generation. The planning process enforces discipline by integrating DRY, YAGNI, and TDD principles throughout the task decomposition and specification translation phases.

The best way to orchestrate multi-phase plans is by generating a dedicated plan-index file. This index coordinates the individual phase-specific plan files, ensuring consistent naming and structured execution across the workflow.

Yes, a full feature analysis or written specification document is required. The planning process converts these detailed written requirements into comprehensive, executable plans tailored for multi-phase feature implementation.
