name description
planning-work Creates comprehensive implementation plans with bite-sized tasks. Use when you have clear requirements and need a step-by-step guide for execution.

Planning Work (Writing Plans)

When to use this skill

  • After requirements are clear (e.g., post-brainstorming).
  • Before modifying any code for a multi-step task.
  • When you need to generate a docs/plans/YYYY-MM-DD-feature.md file.

Workflow

  • Analyze Context: Understand codebase and questionable taste.
  • Create Header: Start plan with the required header and goal.
  • Define Architecture: Summarize approach in 2-3 sentences.
  • Break Down Tasks: Create bite-sized (2-5 min) tasks.
  • Write Task Steps: For each task, define files, tests, and step-by-step TDD instructions.
  • Save Plan: Save to docs/plans/YYYY-MM-DD-<feature-name>.md.
  • Confirm: Present options for execution.

Instructions

1. Plan Philosophy

  • Assume the executor has zero context.
  • Bite-Sized: Each task should be 2-5 minutes of work.
  • Micro-Steps: "Write failing test" -> "Verify failure" -> "Implement minimal code" -> "Verify pass" -> "Commit".
  • DRY, YAGNI, TDD.

2. Plan Header Template

Every plan MUST start with:

# [Feature Name] Implementation Plan

**Goal:** [One sentence describing what this builds]
**Architecture:** [2-3 sentences about approach]
**Tech Stack:** [Key technologies/libraries]

---

3. Task Structure Template

### Task N: [Component Name]

**Files:**

- Create: `exact/path/to/file.py`
- Modify: `exact/path/to/existing.py:123-145`
- Test: `tests/exact/path/to/test.py`

**Step 1: Write the failing test**
[Code Block]

**Step 2: Run test (Expect Fail)**
`command to run test`

**Step 3: Write minimal implementation**
[Code Block]

**Step 4: Run test (Expect Pass)**
`command to run test`

**Step 5: Commit**
`git commit -m "feat: ..."`

4. Execution Handoff

After saving the plan, offer:

  1. Subagent-Driven: You iterate task-by-task in this session.
  2. Parallel Session: User opens a new session/window to execute.

Key Principles

  • Exact file paths always.
  • Complete code snippets (no "add validation logic", write the logic).
  • Exact commands for running tests.
  • Reference other skills if needed.
