How does the interview process work?

The skill follows a four-phase flow: Understanding the problem, defining scope, gathering specific UI/UX and data details, and identifying technical constraints like performance or browser support.

What is the Planning skill for Claude Code?

The Planning skill is a specialized plugin that enables Claude to conduct structured interviews with developers to gather detailed requirements and define the scope of a task before any code is written.

What is the output of the Planning skill?

After the interview, the skill generates a summarized markdown document containing core requirements, UI and data needs, error handling rules, and technical decisions.

Can I provide custom answers that aren't in the recommendations?

Productivity & Workflow

Facilitates structured requirement gathering and scope definition for software development tasks through guided interactive interviews.

The Planning skill transforms the initial phase of development into a systematic discovery process, ensuring that requirements are fully understood before implementation begins. It guides the conversation through specific phases—from high-level goals to technical constraints—using a philosophy of starting broad and getting specific. By providing sensible recommendations alongside flexible options, it helps users define clear, testable 'done criteria,' handle edge cases early, and establish a technical roadmap that minimizes scope creep and project ambiguity.
