How does the Self-Review Loop work?

For every section written, Claude reviews its own output against specific principles and guidelines to eliminate vague terms and ensure every implementation detail includes file paths and line numbers.

What is the purpose of the pad.md file?

The pad.md file acts as a temporary, structured scratchpad where Claude documents the current state of the code and the specific plan for new changes, ensuring alignment before any implementation begins.

Does Write Pad rely on existing documentation?

No. One of its core principles is that 'docs may lie; implementations do not.' The skill prioritizes the actual source code as the authoritative source of truth during its investigation phase.

Can I use Write Pad for step-by-step collaboration?

Yes. If you request a 'section-by-section review,' the skill will pause after drafting each part of the pad.md file to wait for your feedback or approval before moving forward.

生产力与工作流

Generates structured implementation plans and technical documentation in a pad.md file to guide AI-assisted development.

Write Pad is a specialized workflow tool for Claude Code that enforces a rigorous 'plan-before-implementation' approach. It creates and maintains a structured pad.md file that serves as a single source of truth for a specific development task. By auditing the existing source code first, mapping out domain entities, and defining precise implementation plans, it ensures that Claude understands the current state of a repository before any code is modified. This skill is ideal for complex refactoring or feature development where accuracy and architectural consistency are paramount.

主要功能
