What problem does it solve?
Writing unclear, under-specified development plans causes wasted time, missing details, and implementation mistakes when multiple steps and file-level changes are required.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Comprehensive implementation planning from scratch: Produces a plan that assumes the implementer has little to no context and may have questionable taste, ensuring every needed detail is captured.
- Bite-sized, TDD-oriented tasks: Breaks work into 2–5 minute tasks with a full failing-test → implement → passing-test cycle and explicit commit points.
- Actionable codebase navigation: Guides the planner to inspect the repository structure, find analogous patterns, and reference key existing files and tests using Hermes tools.
- Execution-ready output: Provides exact file paths, copy-pasteable code examples, exact test commands, and verification steps so implementation is obvious.
Example: You receive a feature spec for a multi-step backend change (new endpoints, validation, and tests) but no one knows the current code structure—use this skill to generate an end-to-end plan that specifies exactly what to create/modify, how to test each incrementally, and what to commit.
Quick Start
Ask Hermes: "Create an implementation plan for [describe feature/spec], including bite-sized TDD tasks with exact file paths, test commands, verification steps, and commit messages."
