What problem does it solve?
Prevents planning failures caused by a missing or inconsistent plan directory and format guide by ensuring the .ai/plans directory and its CLAUDE.md format guide are present and current before writing plans.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Presence Check: Reads .ai/plans/CLAUDE.md to confirm the format guide exists.
- Template Synchronization: Compares the guide to the canonical template at .claude/templates/plan-format.md and writes the template if the guide is missing or differs.
- Context Loading: Loads the final CLAUDE.md content into context so the Architect and lead can write plans that follow the expected structure.
- Use Case: Run at the start of Phase 1 planning to ensure all subsequent plan files are created in a consistent, machine-parseable format.
Quick Start
Run the ensure-plans-dir skill at the start of Phase 1 planning to create or refresh .ai/plans/CLAUDE.md from the canonical template and load it into context.
