SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps engineers convert a clear spec or requirements into a comprehensive, step-by-step implementation plan before coding.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Plan decomposition: breaks a spec into concrete tasks and milestones across files, tests, and docs.
  • Guided planning: assigns responsibilities, design decisions, and verification steps to ensure traceability.
  • Use Case: given a feature request, generate a plan that shows touched components, testing strategy, and a sequence of commits.

Quick Start

Write a comprehensive implementation plan and save it to docs/superpowers/plans/YYYY-MM-DD-writing-plans.md

Frequently Asked Questions about writing-plans

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I turn software specifications into actionable implementation plans?▼

To turn software specifications into implementation plans, this Skill automates task decomposition by analyzing your spec and generating a structured plan detailing required files, tasks, tests, design notes, and commit steps before coding begins.

What is the best way to decompose complex feature requests into coding tasks?▼

Decomposing complex feature requests involves breaking down specifications into concrete milestones across files and tests. This Skill assigns responsibilities, design decisions, and verification steps to ensure traceability throughout the software engineering process.

Can I generate commit sequences and testing strategies from a design document?▼

Yes, you can generate commit sequences and testing strategies from a design document. Given a feature request, this Skill produces a plan showing touched components, testing strategy, and a logical sequence of commits for implementation.

Does automated planning work for multi-step software tasks and feature rollouts?▼

Automated planning works for multi-step software tasks and feature rollouts by creating comprehensive, step-by-step implementation plans. It guides developers lacking context through complex problem breakdowns and required documentation.

Where are generated implementation plans saved in the project directory?▼

Generated implementation plans are saved locally to docs/superpowers/plans/YYYY-MM-DD-writing-plans.md. This ensures your structured planning documentation remains accessible within your project repository for future reference.
