SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Plan Agent creates actionable implementation plans and handoffs from conversation context by researching the codebase, enabling teams to start complex features with a clear plan and documented handoffs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Research the codebase to gather context and requirements
  • Generate a detailed implementation plan and a handoff document
  • Support brownfield and greenfield workflows by reading a codebase map when available
  • Facilitate an interview loop to clarify scope, constraints, and success criteria

Quick Start

Provide the feature context to the Plan Agent and let it generate a plan and handoff in the designated thoughts directory.

Frequently Asked Questions about planning-agent

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I turn a feature conversation into a concrete implementation plan?▼

You can turn a conversation into an implementation plan by providing feature context to the agent, which researches the codebase and uses an interview loop to clarify scope and generate a detailed plan.

How does an interview loop help clarify requirements for codebase research?▼

An interview loop clarifies requirements by asking targeted questions during the conversation, ensuring the generated implementation plan accurately addresses scope, constraints, and success criteria.

Can I generate implementation plans for both brownfield and greenfield projects?▼

Yes, you can generate implementation plans for both brownfield and greenfield projects; the agent reads an available codebase map to adapt its research and planning to the specific project context.

What's the best way to create handoff documents from conversation context?▼

The best way to create handoff documents is to let the agent process your conversation context, producing a documented handoff file alongside the implementation plan for team coordination.

Where does the agent output generated plans and handoff documents?▼

The agent outputs generated implementation plans to the thoughts/shared/plans directory and saves corresponding handoff documents to the thoughts/handoffs directory for team access.

Do I need an existing codebase map to use the planning agent?▼

You do not need an existing codebase map, but if one is available, the agent reads it to better support brownfield workflows and improve the accuracy of the generated implementation plan.
