Where does the skill save the generated plans?

Plans are exported as Markdown files to a standardized output directory, making it easy to track progress and share the roadmap with team members.

Can it distinguish between bugs and features?

Yes, the skill includes an 'auto' mode that analyzes your context to apply specific planning templates for features, bug fixes, or maintenance chores.

What are session-aware milestones?

These are work units specifically scoped to be completed within a single AI session, preventing context loss and ensuring each step produces a concrete, testable output.

What is the sdlc-plan skill?

It is a specialized capability for Claude Code that automates the creation of detailed, structured implementation roadmaps for software development tasks.

How does it analyze the codebase?

It uses built-in search tools like Glob and Grep, or can optionally launch multiple parallel 'explorer agents' to perform deep analysis of dependencies and code patterns.

Productivity & Workflow

Generates structured, multi-step implementation plans for software tasks with automated codebase analysis and session-aware milestones.

The sdlc-plan skill empowers developers using Claude Code to transform high-level task descriptions into actionable, structured implementation plans. By analyzing the existing codebase—either through direct exploration or parallel 'explorer' agents—it identifies relevant files and patterns to construct a roadmap categorized by features, bugs, or chores. A key advantage is its session-aware milestone design, which breaks work into discrete units optimized for Claude's operational limits, ensuring every step includes clear validation criteria, specific file paths, and tangible outputs for reliable progress tracking.
