How does Plan Marshall handle existing GitHub issues?

You can provide a GitHub issue URL as a parameter to the 'init' action, and the skill will automatically extract the context to create a new development plan.

Can I use Plan Marshall with specific programming languages?

Yes, Plan Marshall supports domain-specific implementation agents, such as specialized agents for Java and Frontend development, to handle language-specific best practices.

What are the 7 phases of the Plan Marshall workflow?

The phases are: 1-init, 2-refine, 3-outline, 4-plan, 5-execute, 6-verify, and 7-finalize, covering the entire journey from initial task to final pull request.

Why shouldn't I use Claude Code's built-in plan mode with this skill?

Plan Marshall implements its own specialized 7-phase system designed for higher reliability and domain-specific customization that exceeds the default plan mode's capabilities.
