What problem does it solve?
The writing-plans skill transforms vague specs or requirements into concrete, test-driven, bite-sized engineering tasks so developers can implement features with minimal ramp-up time and without prior knowledge of the codebase.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Structured Implementation Plans: Produces a document with a required header, architecture summary, tech stack, and explicit tasks broken into 2-5 minute actionable steps.
- TDD-first Task Breakdown: Each task contains exact file paths, failing-test examples, minimal implementation snippets, run commands with expected outcomes, and commit instructions.
- Execution Handoff & Storage: Instructs how to save plans under docs/plans/YYYY-MM-DD-<feature-name>.md and offers execution modes (subagent-driven or parallel session) to hand off follow-up work.
Quick Start
Create an implementation plan for adding feature X that includes failing tests, exact file changes, test commands, expected results, and commit messages and save it to docs/plans/YYYY-MM-DD-feature-x.md.
