What is the difference between /pdca plan and /plan-plus?

While /pdca plan creates a standard plan, /plan-plus adds four brainstorming phases—intent discovery, alternatives exploration, YAGNI review, and incremental validation—to ensure a higher-quality strategy for complex tasks.

When should I use Plan Plus?

Use it when a feature has ambiguous requirements, multiple possible implementation approaches, or when you want to ensure no unnecessary features are built (YAGNI).

Does Plan Plus write code during the brainstorming phase?

No. Plan Plus is strictly a planning skill. It follows a 'Hard-Gate' principle, meaning no code is written or scaffolded until the entire brainstorming and planning process is complete and approved.

How does Plan Plus handle project context?

It automatically explores your project by reading files like CLAUDE.md and package.json, checking recent git commits, and reviewing existing PDCA documents to prevent duplication.

What happens after the Plan Plus process is finished?

It generates a Plan document and updates your PDCA status, seamlessly preparing you for the next step: /pdca design {feature}.

Plan Plus: Brainstorming & PDCA Claude Code Skill

Plan Plus is a sophisticated Claude Code skill designed for developers who need deep strategic alignment before starting a feature. By integrating brainstorming methodologies with the bkit PDCA framework, it facilitates a comprehensive discovery session that covers intent exploration, alternative analysis, and ruthless YAGNI (You Ain't Gonna Need It) filtering. This prevents premature implementation and ensures that every architectural decision is validated through collaborative dialogue and incremental design checks before a single line of code is written.

02Comparative approach analysis with mandatory trade-off evaluations for 2-3 solutions.

03Strict YAGNI reviews to strip away non-essential features and prevent scope creep.

04Incremental design validation for section-by-section approval during the planning phase.

05Automatic context exploration via file system, git history, and existing documentation.

06Interactive Intent Discovery using sequential, context-aware brainstorming questions.

Use Cases

01Clarifying ambiguous or complex feature requirements before beginning development.

02Ensuring project minimalism by filtering out hypothetical future requirements early.

03Evaluating multiple architectural paths to find the most efficient implementation.
