Where are the generated plans stored?

Plans are automatically saved as Markdown files in the docs/plans/ directory using a timestamped naming convention for easy tracking and version control.

How does this skill handle testing?

It follows a strict 'Write-Fail-Pass' cycle for every task, providing specific test code and shell commands to verify failures before implementing minimal code to pass.

What is the primary focus of the Writing Plans skill?

It focuses on creating granular, TDD-based implementation plans that guide developers or AI agents through a feature build task-by-task with zero prior context.

Can this skill execute the code it plans?

The Writing Plans skill focuses exclusively on the planning phase. Once the plan is saved, it provides a handoff to specialized execution skills like 'executing-plans' to begin the coding phase.

Productivity & Workflow

Generates granular, step-by-step implementation plans using Test-Driven Development (TDD) and DRY principles for seamless feature execution.

The Writing Plans skill transforms complex requirements into comprehensive, bite-sized implementation plans optimized for developers or AI agents with zero codebase context. By enforcing a strict Test-Driven Development (TDD) workflow and the YAGNI principle, it ensures every task is purposeful and verified. The skill generates standardized Markdown documentation including exact file paths, specific code snippets, and terminal commands for testing and committing. This acts as a critical bridge between high-level brainstorming and technical execution, providing a clear roadmap for building robust features in complex environments like monorepos.
