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.
Create phased implementation plans from research findings. Invoke when a task needs an implementation plan.Key capabilities
- →Structure technical tasks into phased plans
- →Delegate plan creation to subagents
- →Manage task status and artifact linking
- →Automate git commits for plan updates
How it works
The skill validates task status, delegates plan generation to a subagent, and performs postflight operations like status updates and artifact linking.
Inputs & outputs
When to use skill-planner
- →Plan a new feature development
- →Break down a complex refactor
- →Create project implementation milestones
About skill-planner
This skill structures technical tasks into phased implementation steps. It uses delegated agents to build plans and handles status reporting, artifact linking, and repository management automatically.
Create phased implementation plans from research findings. Invoke when a task needs an implementation plan.
When not to use it
- →Terminal task states
- →Direct source code editing
Prerequisites
Limitations
- →Cannot edit source files directly
- →Limited to defined task states
How it compares
It automates the entire lifecycle of task planning, from status tracking to artifact management, rather than just generating text.
