What problem does it solve? Turning a spec or requirements document into an actionable implementation plan is error-prone: tasks end up too vague, placeholders slip in, and engineers without codebase context get stuck. This Skill produces a complete, bite-sized task breakdown that an engineer with zero project context can execute directly. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Structured Plan Documents: Generates plans with a mandatory header (goal, architecture, tech stack, global constraints) and per-task blocks listing exact files to create or modify, interfaces consumed and produced, and checkbox steps. - Bite-Sized TDD Steps: Each task is decomposed into 2-5 minute steps following a test-driven cycle: write failing test, verify failure, implement, verify pass, commit. - Placeholder Prevention & Self-Review: Enforces a no-placeholder policy (no TODOs or vague steps) and runs a self-review checklist covering spec coverage, placeholder scan, and type consistency across tasks. - Use Case: Given a feature spec for a new API endpoint, produce a plan saved to docs/superpowers/plans/ with tasks covering models, routes, and tests, then hand off to subagent-driven or inline execution. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to use the writing-plans skill to turn your spec document into a step-by-step implementation plan before writing any code.
