What problem does it solve?
Write comprehensive implementation plans assuming the engineer has zero context for our codebase and questionable taste. Document everything they need to know: which files to touch for each task, code, testing, docs they might need to check, how to test it. Give them the whole plan as bite-sized tasks. DRY. YAGNI. Frequent commits.
Announce at start: "I'm using the writing-plans skill to create the implementation plan."
Context: This should be run in a dedicated worktree (created by brainstorming skill).
Save plans to: docs/plans/YYYY-MM-DD-<feature-name>.md
Core Features & Use Cases
- Write comprehensive, end-to-end, task-focused implementation plans that cover files touched, tests, and documentation.
- Include a clear sequence of steps, success criteria, and potential edge cases.
- Provide guidance on verification, review, and commit practices.
Quick Start
Provide a feature name and I will generate a date-stamped, step-by-step implementation plan saved to docs/plans/YYYY-MM-DD-<feature-name>.md
