SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? When you have already built a plans gallery and just want to view it again, rebuilding the entire gallery wastes time. This Skill opens the existing index.html directly, skipping file scanning, template substitution, and write operations. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Direct Gallery Access: Opens the existing plans gallery index.html in the default browser using open or xdg-open. - Settings-Aware Path Resolution: Resolves the plans directory from Claude Code settings (project-local, project, then global) with a fallback to docs/plans. - Missing Gallery Detection: Detects when index.html does not exist and directs you to run plans-library first. - Use Case: After building your plans gallery earlier in the day, you return to review your plans and simply ask to reopen the gallery without triggering a full rebuild. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to reopen the plans gallery or browse existing plans without rebuilding it.

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I reopen the plans gallery without rebuilding it?▼

Invoke the plans-open skill, which opens the existing index.html directly in your browser. It performs no file scanning or template substitution, so the gallery opens immediately as long as it was previously built.

How does plans-open find the plans directory?▼

It reads the plansDirectory setting following Claude Code's settings precedence: project-local .claude/settings.local.json, then project .claude/settings.json, then global ~/.claude/settings.json. If none set it, it falls back to docs/plans in the current working directory.

What happens if the plans gallery index.html does not exist?▼

The skill checks for index.html before opening anything. If the file is missing, it stops and tells you to run /plan-agent:plans-library first to build the gallery.

Does plans-open work on Linux and macOS?▼

Yes. It attempts to open the gallery with the macOS open command and falls back to xdg-open on Linux, resolving the absolute path with realpath when available.

When should I use plans-library instead of plans-open?▼

Use plans-library when the gallery has never been built or when plan files have changed and the gallery needs regeneration. Use plans-open only to view an already-built gallery without any rebuild.
