What are the different planning depths available?

You can choose between 'minimal' for small features, 'standard' for typical tasks, and 'comprehensive' for deep architectural planning involving extra questions and research.

What happens if I already have a plan in the .kimchi directory?

The skill performs a pre-flight check, summarizes the existing plan using an AI agent, and asks if you want to reset or continue to prevent accidental overwrites.

What is the primary purpose of the Kimchi Plan skill?

It orchestrates a multi-stage pipeline—including clarification, research, and review—to turn a rough idea into a structured, executable technical plan stored in your local directory.

Does this skill write production code automatically?

No, it focuses on the planning and architectural phase, producing high-quality markdown artifacts that guide the implementation process and ensure design consistency.

What does the --full-auto flag do?

The --full-auto flag extends the pipeline beyond the refinement stage to automatically generate bead specifications and run validation loops, streamlining the entire planning-to-spec workflow.

Productivity & Workflow

Orchestrates a multi-stage planning pipeline to transform vague feature ideas into structured, high-fidelity implementation drafts.

Kimchi Plan is a comprehensive orchestration tool designed for developers who need to move from a high-level idea to a concrete execution plan using a structured, multi-model approach. It manages a sophisticated six-stage lifecycle—including clarification, requirement extraction, codebase research, draft generation, multi-persona review, and iterative refinement—ensuring every angle of a feature is considered before implementation. By generating persistent artifacts in a local directory, it facilitates seamless cross-model analysis and refinement, making it an essential tool for complex feature engineering and system architecture within Claude Code.
