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.
Turn research findings into a small, reviewable implementation plan before editing.Key capabilities
- →Define implementation goals
- →Identify impacted files and areas
- →Outline behavior changes
- →Assess risks and edge cases
- →List verification steps
How it works
It structures research into a five-point plan covering goals, scope, changes, risks, and verification before any code is modified.
Inputs & outputs
When to use plan
- →Proposing changes for a complex feature
- →Defining architecture before refactoring
- →Documenting technical tradeoffs for team review
About this skill
Planning Skill
Use this skill after research and before non-trivial edits.
Plan Format
- Goal
- Files or areas to touch
- Behavior changes
- Risks or edge cases
- Verification steps
Rules
- Keep the plan concrete and short.
- Do not edit code while drafting the plan.
- Prefer referencing paths instead of pasting code.
- Ask for alignment only when the tradeoff is material.
When not to use it
- →Editing code during drafting
- →Writing long-form documentation
Limitations
- →Requires research to be completed first
- →Limited to five specific plan sections
How it compares
This skill forces a structured review phase before implementation, preventing premature coding.
