Breaking down features into bite-sized tasks involves identifying discrete, 2-5 minute steps with exact file paths, complete code examples, and verification steps. This skill generates comprehensive implementation plans that decompose complex features into actionable tasks, reducing ambiguity and enabling faster development cycles.

A detailed implementation plan covers end-to-end feature implementation with exact file paths, complete code examples, tests, documentation, and verification steps. This skill generates plans saved to docs/plans/YYYY-MM-DD-<feature-name>.md, adhering to DRY, YAGNI, and TDD principles with guidance on frequent commits.

Implementation plans designed for zero context provide all necessary information upfront—file paths, code snippets, commands, and test procedures—so new engineers can start immediately. This skill assumes no prior knowledge and generates comprehensive, self-contained plans that eliminate onboarding friction.

Yes, implementation plans include explicit verification steps to run tests and confirm outcomes. This skill builds verification directly into each task, enabling engineers to validate their work as they progress through bite-sized steps.

Generate an implementation plan after design approval and before coding begins. This skill transforms approved designs into detailed, actionable task sequences that reduce ambiguity, accelerate development, and ensure consistent implementation across team members.

Implementation plans include complete code examples and verification steps that serve as embedded documentation. This skill captures design rationale, exact file modifications, and testing procedures in a single structured document saved to your project's docs directory.
