Key capabilities

  • Read the constitution, plan template, and feature `spec.md`
  • Write a Constitution Check covering every principle
  • Show only affected paths in Project Structure
  • Define technical direction, risks, and validation
  • Write to `.specify/specs/NNN-feature/plan.md`

How it works

The skill processes an approved feature specification, performs a constitution check, outlines project structure changes, and defines technical aspects for an implementation plan.

Inputs & outputs

You give it
Approved feature spec (`spec.md`)
You get back
Implementation plan (`plan.md`)

When to use speckit-plan

  • Create implementation plan from spec
  • Perform constitution check
  • Define project structure changes

About this skill

speckit-plan Skill

Use to turn an approved spec into an implementation plan.

Rules

  1. Read the constitution, plan template, and feature spec.md.
  2. Write a Constitution Check covering every principle.
  3. Show only affected paths in Project Structure.
  4. Define technical direction, risks, and validation.
  5. Write to .specify/specs/NNN-feature/plan.md.

When not to use it

  • When a spec has not been approved
  • When the task is not to create an implementation plan

Limitations

  • Requires an approved spec as input.
  • Output is limited to `.specify/specs/NNN-feature/plan.md` format.

How it compares

This skill provides a structured, rule-based approach to converting a spec into an implementation plan, ensuring all constitutional principles are checked and specific output formats are followed, unlike a manual planning process.
