What problem does it solve?
Writing plans that are vague, underspecified, or too big leads to wasted cycles, scope creep, and agent churn; this skill converts a goal into a precise, decomposed task list with clear success criteria and an explicit approval gate.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Deep interview planning: asks 3–5 focused questions to clarify scope, constraints, risks, and existing patterns.
- Approach selection with tradeoffs: proposes 2–3 approaches and requires user confirmation before committing to the full plan.
- Task decomposition rules: enforces small, independently verifiable tasks (≤2 hours each) with file scope and agent assignment.
- Plan persistence + gating: saves plans to .ohc/plans/ using the canonical template and blocks BUILD until the user responds “go”.
- External spec and traceability support: runs document-intake when needed and requires Sources/Traceability for durable alignment.
Quick Start
Run writing-plans by asking your agent to respond with the keyword "plan" for the work you want done, and confirm the proposed approach when prompted.
