Do I need to provide a task description upfront?

It is optional. If you provide a context argument, Claude will analyze it immediately; otherwise, it will interactively ask you to define the task type and scope.

Can I use this for simple bug fixes?

Absolutely. The skill categorizes tasks into chores, bugs, or features and adjusts the planning phase accordingly to ensure the right amount of overhead for the task.

How does the planning phase work?

It invokes a specialized planning skill that generates a detailed implementation plan file. This plan is saved to your repository and serves as the source of truth for the build and review phases.

What happens if the validation step fails?

If validation checks fail, the workflow will halt before creating a Pull Request. It will report specific issues and suggest running an autofix command to resolve the blockers.

Does this skill automatically create branches?

Yes, when the --git or --pr flags are used, the skill automatically creates a new branch using a naming convention based on the task type and the generated plan title.

生产力与工作流

Orchestrates the complete development lifecycle from initial planning through implementation to final validation and pull request creation.

The Plan-Build-Validate skill provides a structured, end-to-end framework for Claude Code to handle non-trivial development tasks with human-in-the-loop oversight. By orchestrating a sequence of specialized planning, implementation, and review steps, it ensures that every code change is well-documented, follows project standards, passes all validation checks, and is properly committed to a version control branch before a draft PR is ever created. This skill is ideal for teams looking to standardize their AI-assisted coding workflows and maintain high code quality through repeatable processes.
