Does this skill support Test-Driven Development (TDD)?

Yes, TDD is built into the core logic. Plans choreograph the specific steps of writing a failing test, verifying the failure, implementing the fix, and verifying the pass.

How does the skill ensure file paths are correct?

The skill requires codebase orientation using tools like get_context and deep_dive before planning begins, preventing guesses and ensuring exact file paths and line numbers are used.

Where does Claude save the generated implementation plans?

All plans are saved as markdown files within the docs/plans/ directory, using a standardized YYYY-MM-DD-feature-name.md naming convention.

What is the difference between a Full and Light plan?

Full plans include complete code snippets and step-by-step TDD choreography for async handoffs, while Light plans focus on task-level granularity for immediate subagent execution within the same session.

Productividad y Flujo de Trabajo

Generates structured, step-by-step implementation plans for complex coding tasks to ensure accuracy and TDD adherence.

The writing-plans skill enables Claude to architect comprehensive implementation strategies before writing code, significantly reducing errors and technical debt. It offers two distinct modes: 'Full' plans for complex asynchronous handoffs—featuring complete code snippets and detailed TDD choreography—and 'Light' plans for immediate, same-session execution by subagents. By enforcing codebase orientation through symbol discovery and impact assessment, the skill ensures that all file paths and line ranges are accurate, providing a reliable roadmap for either human developers or automated agents to follow.
