An ExecPlan is a comprehensive, self-contained implementation guide that serves as a living document for tracking progress, architectural decisions, and task status within your repository.

Where are the execution plans stored?

All plans are stored in an ai-plans/ directory in your project root, allowing them to be versioned and shared with your team via Git.

When should I use the execplan skill?

It is best used when tackling complex features, large refactors, or new modules that require architectural foresight and multi-step execution.

How does this differ from Claude Code's default todo system?

Unlike standard volatile todos, ExecPlans are persisted Markdown files in your codebase that provide deep context, research findings, and a permanent record of the development process.

Does it require manual updates?

The skill is designed to update the plan file directly and continuously as work progresses, acting as the sole source of truth for the current task status.

생산성 및 워크플로

Generates and manages comprehensive, self-contained execution plans for complex development tasks using a living-document methodology.

The execplan skill transforms Claude into a structured architect by implementing a rigorous planning methodology defined in PLANS.md. It creates persistent, self-updating execution plans in the ai-plans/ directory, serving as the single source of truth for implementation progress. By identifying architectural ambiguities early through strategic questioning and maintaining a living status system within the document, it ensures that even complex feature builds remain organized, documented, and executable without the need for external todo lists.
