What problem does it solve?

Jumping straight to coding without a solid, well-defined plan often leads to rework, missed requirements, and cascading errors. This Skill automates the creation of detailed, phased implementation plans based on prior research, preventing costly mistakes and ensuring a clear path forward.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Research-Driven Planning: Generates comprehensive implementation plans directly from your codebase and documentation research artifacts, ensuring all decisions are grounded in actual project context.
• Atomic, Verifiable Phases: Breaks down complex features into small, independently verifiable steps. Each phase includes specific file changes, implementation details, and clear verification checks.
• Integrated Verification: Every phase in the plan includes both automated (tests, lint, types) and manual checks, ensuring quality is built in from the very beginning of the development process.
• Use Case: After /epic:explore has completed its research on "integrating a new payment gateway," run /epic:plan to automatically generate a step-by-step implementation plan. This plan will detail file changes, pseudocode, and verification steps for each phase, ready for your review and approval.
