Generates granular, TDD-focused implementation plans and technical roadmaps before modifying codebases.
The Writing Plans skill transforms complex requirements into a structured, step-by-step technical roadmap. It enforces a rigorous development workflow by requiring a detailed plan before any code is touched, assuming the executor has zero prior context of the codebase. By breaking down features into 2-5 minute 'bite-sized' tasks—complete with exact file paths, failing test cases, and specific shell commands—it ensures high architectural standards and reduces errors during the execution phase. It is particularly effective for managing handoffs between AI subagents and maintaining strict adherence to TDD, DRY, and YAGNI principles.
