How does it support Test-Driven Development (TDD)?

The skill explicitly structures tasks into cycles: write a failing test, run it to verify failure, implement minimal code, and verify the pass, enforcing rigorous testing habits.

Where are the generated plans stored?

Plans are automatically saved to the 'docs/plans/' directory using a standardized YYYY-MM-DD-feature-name.md format for easy version control and reference.

Can these plans be used by other developers?

Yes, the plans are written assuming the implementer is skilled but unfamiliar with the specific codebase, making them perfect for handovers and delegation.

What is the writing-plans skill?

It is a specialized capability for Claude Code that generates highly detailed, step-by-step implementation guides for new features or bug fixes, ensuring no detail is overlooked.

生産性とワークフロー

Generates detailed, step-by-step implementation plans with complete code examples and verification steps to streamline the transition from design to development.

概要

The writing-plans skill transforms high-level designs into actionable, bite-sized tasks tailored for immediate execution or delegation within Claude Code. It emphasizes Test-Driven Development (TDD) and the DRY/YAGNI principles, ensuring that every task includes exact file paths, copy-pasteable code examples, and specific terminal commands for verification. By assuming minimal codebase familiarity, it creates a robust roadmap that minimizes ambiguity and technical debt, making it ideal for developer handovers or managing complex feature rollouts.
