What problem does it solve? Turning a specification into an actionable implementation plan is error-prone: tasks end up too large, lack tests, contain placeholders, or duplicate lifecycle steps. This Skill produces a rigorous, self-reviewed plan where every task is a small, independently testable unit stored as a bead. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Task decomposition: Breaks a spec into bite-sized tasks (2-5 minute steps) following TDD, DRY, and YAGNI principles, each with files, interfaces, and acceptance criteria. - Bead-based plan output: Creates all task beads in one beads_create_list call under the molecule's implement step, with a plan-approval gate and verdict recording. - Self-review checklist: Validates spec coverage, scans for placeholder red flags, checks type consistency, and removes lifecycle-duplicate tasks before wiring beads. - Use Case: After brainstorming produces an approved spec, use this Skill to generate an ordered set of task beads that executing-plans or subagent-driven-development can execute directly. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to use the writing-plans skill to turn the approved spec into an implementation plan of task beads.
