writing-plans

To turn a product spec into an implementation plan, you transform requirements into bite-sized 2-5 minute tasks. The plan includes exact file touchpoints, complete code examples, verification steps, and commit guidance for end-to-end development.

The best way to break down features is creating tasks that take 2-5 minutes each, enabling fast iteration and early feedback. This task decomposition approach supports test-driven development by pairing every implementation step with a verification routine.

You create a test-driven development implementation plan by decomposing work into 2-5 minute tasks with explicit verification steps. Each task in the plan pairs file touchpoints and code examples with testing routines to ensure early feedback.

Yes, you can use this workflow for multi-step features because it handles cross-cutting concerns like tests, documentation, and references. The structured plan maps out comprehensive task definitions and file mappings to guide complex software projects end-to-end.

An implementation plan handoff requires a fixed structure containing a header, task list, file mappings, verification steps, and commit guidance. This structured format ensures developers receive exact file paths and ready-to-run guidance for seamless execution.
