writing-plans

Implementation plans map a spec to executable steps by detailing task decomposition, file modifications, testing requirements, and documentation. They enforce DRY, YAGNI, and TDD principles while providing bite-sized tasks with frequent commit checkpoints.

Writing an implementation plan for context-free developers means documenting every artifact: which files to touch, code requirements, test design, and docs to check. This ensures executable, traceable steps aligned with test-driven development principles.

Yes, the planning approach supports test-driven development by defining tests for each task and enforcing frequent commits. It provides iterative planning guidance with traceable changes throughout the software implementation workflow.

You can generate a plan for any software project requiring decomposition into concrete tasks. It works with any project spec to produce comprehensive implementation steps, assuming the developer is skilled but unfamiliar with your toolset.

The task decomposition in these implementation plans is guided by DRY, YAGNI, and TDD principles. This ensures developers avoid duplication, build only what is necessary, and design adequate tests for each executable step.
