What is the primary purpose of this skill?

It orchestrates the transition from a static design document to a concrete, executable implementation plan while handling necessary branch or worktree setup.

Does this skill actually write the code implementation?

No, this skill focuses on the planning phase. It sets up the environment and creates the tasks, then provides the commands for the execution skill to take over.

Why does the skill recommend running /compact after planning?

Compacting context clears out the planning history, ensuring that the AI has the maximum possible context window available for the actual code execution.

Can I use Git worktrees with this skill?

Yes, the skill explicitly asks if you want to use a Git worktree to create an isolated workspace in a dedicated directory.

What happens if I don't have a design plan yet?

The skill requires an existing design plan. If you haven't created one, you will need to use a research or design skill first to generate a document in docs/design-plans/.

生产力与工作流

Orchestrates the transition from high-level design documents to detailed, executable implementation plans with automated branch management.

This skill bridges the gap between architectural design and code execution by automating the setup of implementation environments. It manages the creation of Git branches or worktrees, coordinates with sub-skills to break down design documents into actionable tasks, and provides a structured handoff for the execution phase. It is essential for developers following a research-plan-implement workflow who want to ensure project isolation, systematic progress tracking, and optimized context management for AI-driven coding.
