SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Writing plans translate high level feature ideas into concrete, step-by-step execution guides that engineers can follow with minimal domain knowledge. This reduces project risk, speeds up onboarding, and enables traceable progress through well-defined tasks and commits.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured Plan Generator: Produces 2-5 minute tasks that align with Test-Driven Development, including required files, tests, and commit notes.
  • Template-Driven Guidance: Leverages planning templates and references to ensure consistency across plans and teams.
  • Handoff-ready Output: Generates documents suitable for reviewer feedback, subagent orchestration, and direct implementation.

Quick Start

Activate the skill to draft a plan for a simple feature (e.g., user authentication) and save the result to docs/plans/YYYY-MM-DD-<feature-name>.md with a clear task list and file map.

Frequently Asked Questions about writing-plans

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate an engineering implementation plan from a high-level feature?▼

To generate an engineering implementation plan, provide a high-level feature description to produce a step-by-step execution guide with required files, tests, and commit-ready guidance. This translates feature ideas into concrete 2-5 minute tasks for engineers.

Can I use planning templates to ensure consistency across engineering documentation?▼

Yes, planning templates enforce consistency across engineering documentation and teams. The skill leverages references and templates to produce structured plans suitable for reviewer feedback, subagent orchestration, and direct implementation.

What's the best way to structure feature breakdown tasks for developer handoff?▼

Feature breakdown tasks structure developer handoffs by generating documents with defined tasks, tests, and commit-ready guidance. This handoff-ready output ensures engineers can follow execution guides with minimal domain knowledge required.

Do I need specific dependencies to create TDD-aligned engineering plans?▼

No specific dependencies are required to create TDD-aligned engineering plans. The skill operates independently using internal templates and references to enforce a test-driven development task format that ensures verifiability and consistency.
