How does the research phase work?

The skill launches parallel 'prd-researcher' agents that scan your project to identify existing code patterns, relevant dependencies, and integration points to ensure the new feature remains consistent with your current architecture.

What files does the Dev Plan skill create?

It creates a structured directory at .dev/feature-name/ containing a master-plan.md and optional sub-PRDs that outline the research findings, architectural decisions, and phased implementation steps.

Does this skill actually write the source code for the feature?

No, Dev Plan focuses exclusively on the planning and documentation phase. It produces the roadmap and technical requirements that guide the subsequent coding process.

Can I use Dev Plan for small tasks?

While highly effective for complex features, it can be used for any task where you want a documented plan of action or need to ensure you haven't missed any architectural constraints.

生产力与工作流

Generates research-backed Product Requirement Documents and multi-phase implementation plans directly within your codebase.

Dev Plan is a specialized Claude Code skill designed to streamline the transition from feature ideation to execution. It automates the heavy lifting of the planning phase by deploying specialized agents to research your codebase for existing patterns, dependencies, and reference implementations. The skill produces structured Markdown PRDs (Product Requirement Documents) within a local .dev/ directory, providing a clear architectural roadmap and implementation phases. As the first stage of a multi-session workflow, it ensures that complex features are well-documented, context-aware, and ready for long-term development.
