Does it perform the research itself or use subagents?

It acts as a lean orchestrator, delegating heavy research and analysis to subagents to keep your primary conversation context clean and focused on the plan.

What is the GSD project requirement for this skill?

This skill requires a standardized .planning/ directory, typically initialized via the /fh:new-project command, to track roadmaps, state, and architectural decisions.

How does it use historical context?

If claude-mem is available, it searches past sessions for relevant 'gotchas', decisions, and trade-offs to ensure past mistakes aren't repeated in the new plan.

How does it handle complex technical tasks?

It evaluates tasks against a complexity matrix and suggests either inline research or dispatching a deep-research subagent to find patterns and pitfalls before you start coding.

Why does it suggest splitting plans?

Splitting large phases into focused 3-4 task plans ensures that Claude operates at peak quality within its context window, reducing errors and rework.

生産性とワークフロー

Researches problems and produces execution-ready plans with automated complexity assessment and phase tracking.

The plan-work skill transforms Claude into a lean project orchestrator that enforces a 'plan-before-build' philosophy. It systematically analyzes task complexity, conducts technical research via specialized subagents, and integrates historical context from previous sessions to ensure robust implementation strategies. By decomposing large project phases into focused, manageable plans, it helps maintain high code quality and prevents context-related degradation during the development phase.
