Where are the implementation plans stored?

Plans are automatically saved to your project's 'docs/plans/' directory with a standardized, date-prefixed naming convention.

What makes these implementation plans unique?

These plans assume the implementer has zero context, providing exact file paths, code snippets, and commands for every 2-5 minute task.

Does this skill support Test-Driven Development?

Yes, the skill is built around TDD principles, explicitly requiring steps for writing failing tests and verifying them before implementation.

Can I use these plans for AI subagents?

Absolutely. The granular nature and lack of required context make these plans ideal for handoff to fresh AI agents or sub-processes.

Productivity & Workflow

Generates detailed, step-by-step implementation roadmaps with bite-sized tasks for efficient coding workflows.

The Writing Plans skill enables developers to architect features with extreme precision by creating granular, context-free implementation blueprints. By breaking down complex features into manageable 2-5 minute tasks, it enforces best practices like Test-Driven Development (TDD) and small, logical commits. Every plan includes exact file paths, complete code snippets, and specific verification commands, ensuring that any developer or AI subagent can execute the instructions with zero ambiguity, significantly reducing technical debt and implementation errors.
