Writing Plans

About

The Writing Plans skill streamlines the development process by creating detailed, step-by-step implementation roadmaps before any code is written. It enforces high-quality engineering standards including Test-Driven Development (TDD), DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself), and YAGNI (You Ain't Gonna Need It) principles. By assuming zero prior context, the skill produces exhaustive documentation that includes exact file paths, code snippets, and verification commands, making it ideal for high-reliability feature development and seamless handoffs to AI subagents or human collaborators.
