What problem does it solve? When you need a concrete, actionable implementation plan before touching any code, this Skill enforces a strict planning-only mode: it inspects the repository with read-only operations and produces a structured markdown plan saved to your workspace, preventing premature or accidental code changes. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Plan-Only Enforcement: Explicitly blocks code edits, mutating terminal commands, commits, pushes, and external actions during the planning turn. - Structured Plan Output: Generates plans covering goal, context, approach, step-by-step actions, files likely to change, tests, risks, and open questions. - Workspace-Aware Saving: Stores plans as timestamped markdown files under .hermes/plans/, compatible with local, docker, ssh, modal, and daytona backends. - Use Case: Before refactoring a payment module, invoke plan mode to get a written plan listing exact file paths, test targets, and verification steps, then review it with your team before any implementation begins. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to plan the implementation of your feature and save the plan to .hermes/plans/ without modifying any code.
