writing-plans

Writing-plans generates self-contained implementation plans by running three rounds of clarifying questions about task scope, granularity, and execution constraints, then outputs detailed steps with explicit dependencies and verification criteria so agents can execute without prior context.

The skill applies task breakdown through phase-based planning: it captures dependencies and execution order upfront, enforces TDD-oriented thinking, and documents constraints like database and testing requirements so multiple agents can work in parallel safely.

Yes. The skill produces plans with explicit step dependencies, execution order, and testing guidance built in, plus optional handoff prompts for implementation, making it suitable for handing off work to agents that need complete, unambiguous instructions.

Writing-plans enforces a structured workflow—asking about type, scope, areas, and constraints across three rounds—then generates self-contained steps that don't rely on external codebase knowledge, integrating governance checks like constitution compliance to ensure safety.

The skill produces a summary of gathered requirements, a detailed plan with step-by-step breakdown, dependencies, and verification criteria, then optionally generates handoff prompts ready for the /write-plan implementation stage.
