SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Writing plans often end without a reliable handoff to the next implementation or testing phase, causing wasted momentum and inconsistent state between sessions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Extends superpowers:writing-plans with devflow’s phase-handoff at completion, keeping the workflow consistent.
  • Creates a plan checkpoint by detecting the ticket ID from the current branch and marking a chapter so the phase is visible in Claude Code/desktop flows.
  • Initiates a fresh next-session phase by invoking devflow:phase-handoff with the plan phase and the next phase set to lock-tests, ensuring the lock phase starts in the spawned session.

Quick Start

Ask your AI agent to run the writing-plans skill on your feature branch so it saves the plan and hands off to lock-tests.

Frequently Asked Questions about writing-plans

FAQPage Schema
How do I transition a writing plan into the next development phase in Claude Code?▼

To transition a writing plan into the next development phase in Claude Code, the skill detects the ticket ID from your feature branch and invokes devflow:phase-handoff to freeze the plan state and spawn the lock-tests phase.

What is phase handoff in ticket-based implementation planning?▼

Phase handoff in ticket-based implementation planning is the process of freezing the completed writing plan state and spawning a fresh session for the lock-tests phase, ensuring consistent workflow momentum without losing context.

How do I automate session orchestration for lock-tests after writing plans?▼

You automate session orchestration for lock-tests by running the writing-plans skill on your feature branch, which writes the frozen plan state and spawns the next lock-tests phase without auto-invoking it.

Does the writing-plans workflow require a specific branch naming convention?▼

Yes, the writing-plans workflow requires branch ticket detection, meaning your current Git branch name must contain a ticket ID so the skill can identify the target work and create a plan checkpoint.

Why does my writing plan lose momentum between development sessions?▼

Writing plans lose momentum between development sessions due to inconsistent state handoff, which this skill solves by extending superpowers:writing-plans with a devflow:phase-handoff invocation that reliably freezes state and spawns the next phase.
