writing-plans

Create an implementation plan by providing a feature name and spec to generate a step-by-step plan. This plan outlines necessary files, code changes, tests, and commits for multi-step tasks spanning multiple subsystems.

Break down complex requirements through comprehensive task decomposition. This process splits a spec into concrete, testable tasks with explicit file changes, clear task boundaries, and defined milestones for reproducible execution.

Planning works for tasks spanning several subsystems and teams by documenting dependencies, risks, and expected outcomes. This governance and traceability improves collaboration and review across distributed engineering efforts.

You can use structured plan templates to guide engineers or subagents through execution. The templates provide a consistent plan structure that ensures explicit file paths and validation steps are followed for reproducible results.

You need to provide a feature name and a spec or requirements document. The skill then processes these inputs to create a detailed plan documenting which files to touch, how to modify them, and what tests to add.
