How does it handle Test-Driven Development (TDD)?

Each task in the generated plan includes specific steps to write a failing test, verify the failure, implement minimal code, and then verify the pass, ensuring high code quality.

Does it integrate with project management tools?

Yes, it integrates directly with GitHub to search for existing issues, link plans to them, or create new issues with automated task checklists.

Can I use this for simple bug fixes?

It is recommended for complex, multi-step work. For simple fixes or tasks you already fully understand, it is faster to skip the planning phase and start coding directly.

What happens after the plan is created?

The skill provides an execution handoff, allowing you to trigger a subagent-driven development workflow or move to a parallel session for implementation.

What is the purpose of the Writing Plans skill?

It creates highly detailed, file-specific implementation plans that allow any developer (or AI subagent) to execute a complex task without needing prior knowledge of the codebase context.

Productivity & Workflow

Generates comprehensive, TDD-driven implementation plans with exact file paths and code examples for seamless developer handoffs.

About

PopKit Writing Plans is a specialized Claude Code skill designed to bridge the gap between high-level design and manual execution. It transforms architectural concepts into granular, bite-sized implementation roadmaps that assume zero codebase context, making it the perfect tool for complex feature development or team handoffs. By enforcing Test-Driven Development (TDD), DRY, and YAGNI principles, the skill ensures that every task is documented with precise file paths, expected test outputs, and minimal code implementations, reducing ambiguity and accelerating the development lifecycle.

Key Features

Bite-sized task granularity designed for 2-5 minute execution cycles.
Built-in validation engine to ensure plan completeness and structural integrity.
0 GitHub stars
Context-aware planning using upstream data from brainstorming or existing design docs.
Seamless handoff to subagent-driven or parallel session execution modes.
Integrated GitHub workflow for creating or linking tracking issues with task checklists.

Use Cases

Generating a standardized handoff document for another developer with no prior project context.
Structuring a multi-step development sprint with TDD-first tasks and frequent commit points.
Preparing a detailed roadmap for a complex feature to be implemented by a subagent.
