Can I use these plans with other Claude Code skills?

Absolutely. The skill is designed to hand off completed plans to execution-focused skills like 'executing-plans' or 'subagent-driven-development'.

What is the primary benefit of the Writing Plans skill?

It forces a 'think before you code' approach, reducing architectural errors and ensuring that every feature is built using test-driven development and bite-sized, manageable tasks.

Where are the generated plans stored?

All plans are saved as markdown files in the 'docs/plans/' directory of your repository, using a YYYY-MM-DD-feature-name naming convention for easy tracking.

Does this skill help with testing?

Yes, every task in the plan specifically includes steps to write a failing test, verify the failure, and then write the minimal code required to pass.

Is this skill suitable for large codebases?

It is specifically designed for complex environments, assuming the person or AI executing the plan has zero context and needs explicit file paths and instructions.

Productividad y Flujo de Trabajo

Generates detailed, step-by-step implementation blueprints that guide developers through complex features using TDD and granular task management.

Acerca de

Structured Coding Plans is an essential pre-development skill that automates the creation of comprehensive technical roadmaps before any production code is written. By enforcing a strict Test-Driven Development (TDD) workflow and breaking down complex requirements into granular 2-5 minute tasks, it ensures high-quality output even in unfamiliar codebases. The skill generates standardized markdown documentation—stored directly in your repository—that includes exact file paths, architecture summaries, and specific git commands, providing a seamless handoff for either manual coding or automated subagent execution.
