Structure the plan with a header stating goal, architecture, and tech stack, then decompose into tasks with exact file paths, interface contracts, and TDD steps. Each step should be a 2-5 minute action with actual code, ending in a commit.
Map the file structure first, then draw task boundaries where a reviewer could reject one task while approving its neighbor. Each task must end with an independently testable deliverable and declare what it consumes and produces for neighboring tasks.
Plans fail when they contain placeholders like TODO or vague steps such as add error handling, reference undefined types, or have inconsistent naming across tasks. A self-review for spec coverage, placeholders, and type consistency catches these issues.
Split when the spec covers multiple independent subsystems. Each plan should produce working, testable software on its own, so one plan per subsystem keeps scope reviewable and executable.
Yes. After saving the plan, the workflow offers subagent-driven execution, dispatching a fresh subagent per task with review between tasks, or inline execution with batched checkpoints using the executing-plans skill.
