writing-plans

To turn a sparse specification into an implementation plan, you translate the spec into a concrete sequence of tasks. This process details files to touch, tests to write, and documentation steps, breaking work into small, measurable steps for rapid iterations.

Test-driven development fits into feature engineering by emphasizing red, green, and refactor cycles alongside frequent commits. This TDD-driven workflow ensures quality is maintained while executing the bite-sized tasks generated from your specification.

The best way to document files to touch and tests to write is generating a comprehensive implementation plan. This standardized plan documentation captures every task and consultation step, saving the output under docs/plans with a dated markdown format.

Yes, structured planning automates task management by generating bite-sized steps from a sparse spec. It satisfies requirements for standardized plan documentation and TDD guidance without manually outlining each file modification or test cycle.

You need standardized plan documentation saved under docs/plans when engineering a feature from zero context. This ensures every file touched, test written, and documentation step is recorded for structured planning and rapid iteration.
