Can I use this for both frontend and backend tasks?

Yes, the technical architecture phase specifically prompts for components, data models, and API designs that cover the full application stack.

How does the task breakdown work?

The skill generates a numbered list of tasks (S001, S002, etc.) that include specific files to be modified and acceptance criteria for verification.

When is the best time to use this skill?

Use this skill during 'Phase 0' of development, specifically when starting tasks that require multiple components, database migrations, or infrastructure changes.

What is the Systematic Planning skill for Claude Code?

It is a specialized capability that guides Claude through a structured workflow to plan complex software features, ensuring technical and business requirements are met before coding begins.

Productivity & Workflow

Transforms complex feature requests into structured, executable technical plans and implementation roadmaps.

About

The Systematic Planning skill provides a standardized workflow for tackling sophisticated software features that require careful coordination between frontend, backend, and infrastructure. By guiding users through three distinct phases—Business Specification, Technical Architecture, and Implementation Tasks—it ensures that every project starts with a rigorous design foundation. This skill automates the creation of professional-grade planning documents, allowing developers to define success criteria, model data entities, and break down work into verifiable tasks before a single line of code is written.

Key Features

Three-phase planning workflow covering business, technical, and execution layers.
Comprehensive technical architecture modeling including API and data design.
Automatic generation of structured markdown plans in a dedicated directory.
Granular task breakdown with file-specific assignments and acceptance criteria.
1 GitHub stars
Standardized output format optimized for hand-off to architects and analysts.

Use Cases

Initiating large-scale feature developments that impact multiple layers of the tech stack.
Creating technical design documents for team review and architectural alignment.
Decomposing vague business requests into actionable, verifiable developer task lists.
