Can I visualize my project dependencies?

Yes, the skill can generate dependency graphs in Mermaid format, which can be easily viewed in GitHub or VS Code to understand the implementation roadmap.

Does this skill write the actual implementation code?

No, this skill focuses on high-level architecture, separation of concerns, and dependency management. It is designed to spawn sub-agents that then handle the specific task implementation.

How does it handle parallel execution?

The planner identifies projects that have no remaining dependencies and allows you to spawn multiple sub-agents to work on different components of the initiative simultaneously.

When should I use Initiative Planner instead of regular work planning?

Use the Initiative Planner when your work spans multiple services, repositories, or has distinct project boundaries. For single-feature work within one project, use standard work planning tools.

Productivity & Workflow

Plans and organizes complex multi-project software initiatives by managing high-level architecture and cross-project dependencies.

About

The Granary Initiative Planner is a specialized Claude Code skill designed for orchestrating large-scale engineering efforts that span multiple services, repositories, or implementation phases. It shifts the AI's focus from individual task execution to high-level architectural oversight, allowing users to define clear boundaries between projects, analyze critical dependencies, and generate visual Mermaid graphs of the implementation roadmap. By automating the creation of project containers and spawning sub-agents for granular task planning, it streamlines the management of microservices, full-stack features, and complex system migrations within an agentic workflow.
