What problem does it solve? It turns a loosely described bug fix, small feature, or targeted refactor into a concrete, immediately implementable plan with enumerated file changes, verification commands, and testable acceptance criteria, so a single developer or one Gemini thread can execute the work end to end without open decisions. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Bounded change planning: Researches the repo with local reads (rg, git status, targeted file inspection) and produces a plan listing every file, entity, action, and reason, capped at roughly 8 source files or 3 distinct changes. - Verification contract: Every plan includes machine-checkable verification commands and acceptance criteria, with support for referencing roadmap goal IDs like EC-<ALIAS>-<N> instead of restating them. - Handoff and manifest integration: Writes a structured handoff artifact, updates plans/manifest.json via the phase_loop_runtime plan_manifest helper, and records a per-run reflection for continuous skill improvement. - Use Case: A developer asks for a plan to fix a pagination bug in an API endpoint; the skill inspects the relevant files, then returns a plan artifact with the exact changes, docs impact, ordered steps, and the test commands that prove the fix. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to create a detailed implementation plan for your specific bug fix or small feature, for example: plan the change to add rate limiting to the login endpoint.
