What is the purpose of the PLAN.md file created by this skill?

The PLAN.md file is a standardized document containing executable tasks, dependency metadata, and verification criteria used by the GSD execution engine to implement code.

Does this skill require an existing project structure?

Yes, it requires a project initialized with the GSD framework, specifically requiring a .planning directory and a ROADMAP.md file.

How does the verification loop improve project quality?

It spawns a separate 'gsd-plan-checker' agent to audit the planner's work, ensuring the proposed tasks fulfill the roadmap requirements without contradicting previous architectural decisions.

Can I bypass the research phase if I already know the implementation details?

Yes, you can use the --skip-research flag to move directly to the planning phase, or the skill will automatically skip it if valid research already exists.

Collaboration Tools

Generates detailed, verified execution plans for software project phases using a multi-agent orchestration workflow.

The GSD Phase Planner is a specialized capability for Claude Code that automates the transition from high-level roadmaps to actionable implementation steps. By orchestrating dedicated research, planning, and verification agents, it ensures that every phase of a project is thoroughly vetted against existing requirements and technical constraints. It generates structured PLAN.md files that include XML-formatted tasks, dependency mapping, and verification criteria, significantly reducing the cognitive overhead of project management and architectural planning within the 'Get Shit Done' (GSD) framework.

Key Features

01Automated research phase that identifies domain-specific implementation requirements before planning starts.

02Verification loop that validates generated plans against project requirements and previous decisions.

0312 GitHub stars

04Gap-closure mode to refine existing plans based on failed verification or UAT results.

05Multi-agent orchestration using specialized researcher, planner, and checker sub-agents to preserve context.

06Standardized PLAN.md output compatible with automated execution workflows and parallel task waves.

Use Cases

01Ensuring new project phases strictly adhere to technical constraints established in previous discussions.

02Decomposing a complex architectural roadmap into actionable, bite-sized development waves.

03Automating the technical research and planning process for unfamiliar domains or new tech stacks.
