SKILL.md
Writing Plans
Overview
Create comprehensive implementation plans with bite-sized tasks (2-5 minutes each). Every task has exact file paths, complete code, verification steps, and TDD flow.
Core principle: Document everything the engineer needs. DRY. YAGNI. TDD. Frequent commits.
When to Use
- After design approval (from brainstorming)
- When you have specs/requirements for multi-step work
- Before any implementation begins
Task Structure
Each task follows: Write failing test -> Verify fail -> Implement minimal code -> Verify pass -> Commit
Plan Format
- Header: Goal, Architecture, Tech Stack
- Tasks with exact file paths and complete code
- TDD steps with expected output
- Task persistence via
.tasks.json
Execution Handoff
After plan is written, choose:
- Subagent-Driven - Fresh agent per task with two-stage review
- Batch Execution - Execute in batches with human checkpoints
Agents Used
- Process agents defined in
writing-plans.js
