writing-plans

To create an implementation plan from high-level requirements, you need a tool that generates comprehensive, step-by-step documentation covering files to touch, tests to write, and incremental tasks suitable for version control.

Planning a platform migration or codebase refactor requires generating detailed, step-by-step implementation plans that coordinate tasks, tests, and documentation while enforcing DRY, YAGNI, and TDD principles to prevent scope creep.

Generating project planning documents that enforce TDD and YAGNI principles involves processing high-level specifications to produce standardized plan documents with incremental tasks, ensuring you only build what is necessary with test coverage.

You should save implementation plans in your repository at a standardized location like docs/plans/YYYY-MM-DD-<feature-name>.md, ensuring they are formatted properly and ready for version control review and execution.

Under-specified project planning leads to wasted engineering time because missing or vague plans for complex tasks cause scope creep, uncoordinated development, and inefficient execution without clear incremental steps or test definitions.

Yes, you can use automated planning for feature development to generate comprehensive plans from specifications automatically, identifying files to touch, tests to write, and docs to check without manual documentation effort.
