Can I use this for existing codebase refactoring?

Yes, the skill uses tools like Grep and Glob to analyze your existing codebase, allowing it to identify relevant files and dependencies to include in the refactor plan.

Where does the skill store the generated plans?

Plans are saved as standardized markdown files in the 'thoughts/shared/plans/' directory, ensuring they are easily accessible for code reviews and future reference.

Does it support non-English planning requests?

Yes, the skill is configured to trigger on various international commands, including Chinese terms for planning and architectural design.

What is the difference between Design Exploration and Implementation Planning modes?

Design Exploration is used for brainstorming and clarifying vague requirements through Socratic questioning, while Implementation Planning is for creating concrete technical steps once the path forward is already decided.

How does it handle complex technical trade-offs?

The skill generates 2-4 viable implementation approaches (conservative, balanced, aggressive) and evaluates them against criteria like effort, maintenance, and scalability.

生产力与工作流

Generates comprehensive technical implementation plans and explores architectural design options through interactive research and Socratic questioning.

This skill transforms high-level ideas into actionable technical blueprints by facilitating either iterative design exploration or structured implementation planning. It leverages Socratic questioning to uncover hidden constraints, evaluates multiple architectural approaches against key trade-offs, and produces detailed markdown plans with clear success criteria. Ideal for developers moving from conceptual requirements to code-ready specifications, it ensures all technical risks and dependencies are identified before development begins while maintaining a standardized documentation format for the entire team.
