What makes this plan different from a standard task list?

Unlike generic task lists, this skill provides exact code blocks, specific file paths, and terminal commands, assuming the developer has zero prior knowledge of the codebase.

Where are the generated plans stored?

All plans are saved as Markdown files in the .claude/docs/plans/ directory to ensure they are version-controlled and easily accessible.

Does this skill handle the actual code execution?

This skill focuses specifically on the planning phase. Once a plan is generated, the 'executing-plans' skill is used to carry out the tasks iteratively.

How does it decide whether to include unit tests?

It automatically analyzes logic complexity: complex algorithms and business transformations get TDD steps, while simple UI changes or CRUD operations focus on type-checking and linting.

Can I use this for non-TypeScript projects?

While the skill defaults to TypeScript syntax for examples, the planning methodology and task structure can be applied to any programming language or tech stack.

Productivity & Workflow

Generates comprehensive, step-by-step implementation plans with exact code, file paths, and TDD verification steps for seamless engineering handoffs.

About

The Writing Plans skill transforms high-level designs into detailed, bite-sized tasks tailored for developers with minimal codebase context. It automatically determines testing strategies based on logic complexity, providing exact file paths, TypeScript code examples, and command-line verification steps. By enforcing DRY, YAGNI, and TDD principles, it ensures that every feature is built with robust architecture and clear documentation. Plans are saved to a standardized directory, creating a persistent roadmap that bridges the gap between design and execution.

Key Features

Precise mapping of file paths and line numbers for all changes
Standardized documentation output saved to .claude/docs/plans/ for team reference
Complete code examples and exact shell commands for verification included in every plan
1,108 GitHub stars
Automated task decomposition into 2-5 minute actionable steps
Context-aware testing strategy with TDD for complex logic and skip-logic for simple CRUD

Use Cases

Converting a finished design specification into a series of technical tasks for a new developer
Standardizing engineering workflows across a team using TDD and frequent commit patterns
Creating a structured roadmap for complex feature migrations or refactors with zero context
