How do I verify that a task is complete?

Each task generated by the skill includes a specific 'Verify' instruction, such as running a specific shell command, checking a UI element, or confirming an API response code.

Where are the plan files saved?

Plans are saved as markdown files (e.g., your-task-name.md) directly in your project's root directory for easy access, version control, and visibility.

Does this skill use a fixed template for every plan?

No, it follows core principles to create unique, flexible plans tailored specifically to your project type, whether you are working on a frontend UI, a backend API, or a database migration.

How does the Plan Writing skill improve my coding process?

It forces a structured breakdown of work into small, 2-5 minute tasks, which reduces cognitive load and ensures every change is verified before moving on to the next step.

What is the maximum number of tasks recommended per plan?

For maximum efficiency, plans should ideally contain between 5 to 10 clear tasks. If a feature requires more, it is recommended to break the work into multiple, smaller plan files.
