writing-plans

To turn a vague specification into an implementation plan, you generate detailed, step-by-step execution tasks. This includes file touchpoints, testing steps, documentation, and commit messages while enforcing DRY, YAGNI, and TDD principles.

The best way to plan multi-step feature development is creating a comprehensive plan spanning code, tests, and documentation. It produces specific file paths, testing steps, and commit messages to keep development focused and actionable.

TDD planning helps onboard new contributors by documenting context, decisions, and verification steps within the plan. It provides clear file touchpoints and testing steps so new team members understand exactly what to build and verify.

To apply DRY and YAGNI principles in an implementation plan, the plan enforces these constraints directly within its generated tasks. It keeps development focused by avoiding unnecessary repetition and features through structured, actionable steps.

Yes, you can generate commit messages and file paths directly from a feature spec. The planning process produces a complete execution plan that includes specific file touchpoints, testing steps, and structured commit messages.
