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.
Use when updating release plans, marking progress, archiving completed plans, coordinating deprecations, or handling README/index showcase requirements.Key capabilities
- →Edit release plans in Markdown
- →Split unfinished work into future releases
- →Archive completed plan files
- →Update release showcase images
- →Synchronize `README.md` and `index.html` with showcase metadata
How it works
The skill manages release plans by updating active plans, moving completed files to an archive, and ensuring deprecation tasks are explicitly planned. It also coordinates updates to showcase images and synchronizes `README.md` and `index.html` with current release metadata.

About this skill
Plan Workflow
When to Use
- Editing
plans/v*.md - Splitting unfinished work into later releases
- Archiving completed plan files
- Preparing release showcase updates in
README.mdandindex.html
Procedure
- Start from the active plan for the target release and keep progress plus implementation notes current while you work.
- Keep
plans/limited to unreleased work. Move completed plan files toplans/old_plans/immediately, and prefix archived sub-plans with the release version. - If a feature is marked for deprecation, create or update the later plan that finishes the removal instead of leaving the work implied.
- Treat the per-release fractal as mandatory. Since v0.2.0, also maintain the showcase image flow:
- New image in
img_resources/showcase/ - Previous showcase moved to
img_resources/gallery_expanded/ README.mdandindex.htmlupdated together
- New image in
- Keep
index.htmlsynchronized with the current release showcase metadata:og:image,twitter:image, showcase<img>, alt text, and caption. - Do not add colormap deliverables to release plans; colormap work belongs in
scala-chromatica. - Before running the final release checklist, verify the plan is actually complete or the remaining work has been moved forward deliberately.
When not to use it
- →When adding colormap deliverables to release plans
Limitations
- →Colormap work belongs in `scala-chromatica`
How it compares
This workflow provides a structured approach to release planning and documentation synchronization, preventing inconsistencies that might arise from manual updates across multiple files.
