SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Jumping straight into coding complex features without a structured plan leads to missed requirements, vague tasks, and rework. This Skill enforces a plan-only mode that produces a concrete, step-by-step implementation plan before any code is written. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Plan-Only Mode: Restricts the agent to read-only inspection and writing a single markdown plan file, with no code edits, commits, or mutating commands. - Structured Plan Format: Generates plans with exact file paths, complete copy-pasteable code, TDD steps, verification commands, and bite-sized tasks of 2-5 minutes each. - Timestamped Storage: Saves plans under .nyxora/plans/ with timestamped filenames, keeping them attached to the active workspace across local, docker, ssh, and other backends. - Use Case: Before implementing a multi-step feature like user authentication, invoke plan mode to produce a task-by-task breakdown with failing tests, minimal implementations, and commit steps that a subagent can execute later. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to enter plan mode and write an implementation plan for your feature, for example: plan out adding password reset functionality to the auth module.

Frequently Asked Questions about plan

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I write a good software implementation plan before coding?▼

Break the feature into bite-sized tasks of 2-5 minutes each, with exact file paths, complete code examples, and verification commands. Follow a TDD cycle per task: write a failing test, verify it fails, implement minimal code, verify it passes, then commit.

How to make an AI agent plan instead of writing code?▼

Invoke plan mode, which restricts the agent to read-only inspection and writing a single markdown plan file. The agent cannot edit project files, run mutating commands, or commit until the plan is approved and execution begins.

Where are the generated plan files saved?▼

Plans are saved under .nyxora/plans/ with a timestamped filename like YYYY-MM-DD_HHMMSS-slug.md. The path is relative to the active workspace, so it works across local, docker, ssh, modal, and daytona backends.

What should an implementation plan include for subagent execution?▼

Each task needs an objective, exact files to create or modify, a failing test, the minimal implementation, run commands with expected output, and a commit step. Plans should reference subagent-driven-development for task-by-task execution with spec and quality reviews.

When should I skip writing a full implementation plan?▼

The skill recommends almost never skipping it, since even simple features hide assumptions that cause bugs. Plans are especially important before multi-step features, complex requirements, or delegating work to subagents.
