What is the primary purpose of the Writing Plans skill?

It creates detailed, step-by-step roadmaps for coding tasks, ensuring all logic, tests, and file paths are defined and documented before any code is actually written.

Why use this instead of just asking Claude to write code?

Writing a plan first prevents scope creep, ensures architecture consistency, and catches logic errors early, leading to higher quality code and fewer regressions than direct code generation.

Can I use this skill to delegate work to other AI agents?

Yes, once a plan is generated, the skill offers specific handoff options to use subagents or parallel sessions to execute the plan task-by-task.

Where are the implementation plans stored?

Plans are automatically saved as Markdown files to a standardized directory at `docs/plans/YYYY-MM-DD- .md` for easy version control and team reference.

How does this skill support Test-Driven Development (TDD)?

Every plan generated by the skill requires defining a specific failing test, a verification command, and the minimal code necessary to pass, enforcing a strict TDD cycle for every task.

生産性とワークフロー

Generates comprehensive, step-by-step implementation plans following TDD and clean code principles before execution begins.

概要

The Writing Plans skill enables Claude to act as a senior technical architect, producing granular, bite-sized roadmaps for complex coding tasks. By enforcing a strict documentation structure that includes exact file paths, specific failing tests, and minimal implementation steps, it ensures that features are built with high quality and minimal technical debt. It integrates core engineering principles like DRY, YAGNI, and Test-Driven Development (TDD) to provide a clear path forward for both human developers and AI subagents, regardless of their familiarity with the existing codebase.
