Which issue trackers are supported by this skill?

The skill currently features native integration with Linear via the Linearis CLI, but it can be used with any issue ID to automate branch creation and planning.

Does this skill write code immediately?

No, it specifically enters 'plan mode' first. It explores the code and creates a Todo list which must be approved by the user before implementation begins.

What happens if I have uncommitted changes?

The skill automatically detects uncommitted changes and prompts you to stash them, commit them, or abort the process to prevent data loss.

Can I customize the base branch used for new features?

Yes, the skill utilizes a helper script to determine the base branch, ensuring it aligns with your specific repository structure.

Developer Tools

Automates the transition from issue tracking to active development by setting up git branches and creating structured implementation plans.

The SDLC Plan skill streamlines the initial phases of the software development lifecycle by bridging the gap between project management and local coding. It automatically handles the logistics of fetching issue details from Linear, sanitizing branch names, and preparing the local environment. Most importantly, it enforces a 'plan-first' methodology by entering a dedicated design mode where Claude explores the codebase and drafts a task list for user approval before a single line of production code is written. This ensures higher quality implementations and keeps project states perfectly synchronized with development progress.
