Can I use these plans with AI subagents?

Yes, the skill is specifically designed to hand off plans to subagent-driven development or parallel execution sessions using specialized sub-skills.

Where does the skill store the generated plans?

All implementation plans are saved as Markdown files in the docs/plans/ directory, using a timestamped naming convention for easy versioning.

Why should I use the Writing Plans skill before coding?

Using this skill ensures that architectural decisions are made upfront and that the implementation follows a structured, test-driven approach, reducing bugs and technical debt.

How granular are the tasks generated by this skill?

Tasks are designed to be completed in 2-5 minutes, focusing on a single action like writing a failing test, implementing minimal code, or committing changes.

Productivity & Workflow

Generates granular, test-driven implementation plans that break down complex features into bite-sized, executable tasks for AI or human developers.

The Writing Plans skill streamlines the development lifecycle by creating comprehensive Markdown roadmaps before any production code is touched. Designed for complex features and multi-step tasks, it enforces professional engineering standards like TDD (Test-Driven Development), DRY, and YAGNI. By assuming the implementer has zero prior context, it produces highly detailed instructions including exact file paths, specific code snippets, and terminal commands, ensuring high-quality, predictable outcomes across any codebase.
