Does this skill write implementation code?

No, it focuses specifically on the preparatory phase to ensure that when code is eventually written, it follows the project's documentation and established patterns.

How does it handle TODO.md files?

The skill audits existing TODO files or creates a new one at the project root to serve as the single source of truth for the implementation plan and status.

When should I use this skill?

Apply this skill whenever you start a new feature, bug fix, or refactor that involves multiple files or requires a clear record of architectural decisions.

Productivity & Workflow

Streamlines the software planning phase by aligning requirements with documentation and maintaining a centralized TODO.md roadmap.

The Implementation Prep skill is designed to bridge the gap between receiving a task and writing code by enforcing a disciplined preparation workflow. It ensures all requirements are clarified, relevant documentation is consulted, and a structured plan is established within the repository's TODO.md file. This skill is essential for maintaining project alignment, preventing scope creep, and providing a clear audit trail for implementation steps across UI, backend, and testing phases, making it an indispensable tool for complex refactors and new feature development.
