Detailed Implementation Planning FAQs

Question 1

How does the Writing Plans skill improve code quality?

Accepted Answer

It enforces a Test-Driven Development (TDD) approach, requiring a failing test to be written and verified before any implementation code is added, ensuring all features are fully tested from the start.

Question 2

What is 'bite-sized task granularity'?

Accepted Answer

It means every step in the plan is designed to be completed in 2-5 minutes, covering one specific action like writing a single test, running a command, or committing code.

Question 3

Does this skill execute the plan automatically?

Accepted Answer

No, this skill focuses on the planning phase. Once the plan is saved, it offers a handoff to either a subagent-driven session or a parallel executing-plans session for implementation.

Question 4

Where does Claude save the generated plans?

Accepted Answer

Plans are automatically saved to your project directory under 'docs/plans/' using a dated naming convention for easy version control and reference.

Question 5

Can I use this skill for refactoring existing code?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is ideal for refactoring as it forces the agent to identify exact file paths and line numbers, creating a step-by-step path to change code without breaking functionality.
