Activation

This is the description your AI agent reads to decide when to run this skill — the better it matches your request, the more reliably it fires.

Creates a reconciled implementation plan by combining a structured plan draft with a normalized intent brief and a PRP-style research dossier, then auto-reviews the final plan. Use when planning a new feature or significant change in Codex.

Key capabilities

  • →Verify current repository shape for feature area
  • →Clarify requirements by asking targeted questions
  • →Conduct external research (library docs, best practices)
  • →Draft a provisional implementation plan
  • →Create a normalized brief/intent artifact
  • →Generate a supporting research dossier

How it works

The skill performs a repo audit, clarifies requirements, conducts external research, then drafts a provisional plan, a normalized brief, and a research dossier, which are then reconciled into a final plan.

Inputs & outputs

You give it
Feature description or ticket reference
You get back
A reconciled implementation plan, a normalized brief, and a research dossier

When to use plan

  • →Plan new features
  • →Research implementation path
  • →Reconcile project architecture

About plan

Conducts a repo audit to map entrypoints, data models, and build patterns, creating a single-pass plan for feature implementation.

Creates a reconciled implementation plan by combining a structured plan draft with a normalized intent brief and a PRP-style research dossier, then auto-reviews the final plan. Use when planning a new feature or significant change in Codex.

When not to use it

  • →When the user wants autonomous end-to-end execution
  • →When the user wants to start coding immediately with a clear task
  • →When the task is a single focused fix with obvious scope

Limitations

  • →Does not implement the plan
  • →Does not add unit or integration tests by default
  • →Does not add compatibility layers unless explicitly asked

How it compares

This workflow generates a complete, research-backed implementation plan before any coding, ensuring a solid foundation, unlike directly jumping into code.

thought-patterns

markpitt

Orchestrates comprehensive cognitive thinking patterns including sequential, systems, lateral, divergent/convergent, abductive, analogical, first-principles, double-loop learning, gestalt, metacognitive, and neurodivergent patterns (ADHD hyperfocus, autistic detail-orientation, dyslexic spatial reasoning). Analyzes tasks to select optimal pattern(s), chains multiple patterns when needed, and validates outputs before responding. Use for complex problem-solving, creative tasks, analytical challenges, or when diverse cognitive approaches enhance solution quality.

gathering-requirements

CaptainCrouton89

Systematically clarify user needs, preferences, and constraints before planning or implementation. Classifies work type, investigates existing systems, discovers edge cases and integration points, resolves assumptions, and creates detailed specifications. Use when building features, enhancements, or integrations where requirements need clarification.
