What problem does it solve? Engineers often start coding multi-step features without a clear roadmap, leading to missed requirements, poor test coverage, and inconsistent execution. This Skill turns a spec or requirements document into a comprehensive, step-by-step implementation plan that any developer can follow without prior codebase context. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Bite-Sized Task Breakdown: Splits work into 2-5 minute steps following TDD: write failing test, verify failure, implement, verify pass, commit. - Standardized Plan Format: Produces plans with exact file paths, complete code snippets, exact commands with expected output, and a required header, saved to docs/plans/YYYY-MM-DD-<feature-name>.md. - Execution Handoff: Offers a choice between subagent-driven execution in the current session or parallel-session execution with an executing-plans skill. - Use Case: Given a feature spec for a new API endpoint, generate a plan where each task lists the files to create or modify, the failing test to write first, the minimal implementation, and the commit command. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to use the writing-plans skill to create an implementation plan for your feature spec before writing any code.
