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.
Defines the formal step-by-step logic map before taking action.Key capabilities
- →Define step-by-step logic maps
- →Generate implementation plans
- →Map architectural attack paths
- →Structure development workflows
- →Request user approval for plans
How it works
It creates a formal implementation plan based on research context and requires user approval before any code modification occurs.
Inputs & outputs
When to use Structured Planning Mode
- →Plan an architectural refactor
- →Map out complex feature implementation
- →Draft implementation roadmap
About this skill
Planning Mode Skill
Trigger condition:
When the "Research" phase is complete, or when instructed to plan an architectural deviation.
Executing the Plan Skill:
- Retrieve context mapped out during the Research phase (within 25–35% total context utility).
- Generate an
implementation_plan.mdartifact. - Structure your plan according to the RedThread specific methodologies (e.g., mapping MCTS or TAP attack paths).
- Do not execute any bash or code modification tools during planning. We must remain stateless.
- You must request User Approval (via
request_feedback: true) prior to advancing to Implementation.
When not to use it
- →Immediate code execution
Limitations
- →Must remain stateless during planning
- →Requires user approval
How it compares
It enforces a stateless planning phase that prevents premature execution of code or bash commands.

create-plan
antinomyhq
Generate detailed implementation plans for complex tasks. Creates comprehensive strategic plans in Markdown format with objectives, step-by-step implementation tasks using checkbox format, verification criteria, risk assessments, and alternative approaches. Use when users need thorough analysis and structured planning before implementation, when breaking down complex features into actionable steps, or when they explicitly ask for a plan, roadmap, or strategy. Strictly planning-focused with no code modifications.
project-planner
adrianpuiu
Comprehensive project planning and documentation generator for software projects. Creates structured requirements documents, system design documents, and task breakdown plans with implementation tracking. Use when starting a new project, defining specifications, creating technical designs, or breaking down complex systems into implementable tasks. Supports user story format, acceptance criteria, component design, API specifications, and hierarchical task decomposition with requirement traceability.
system-design
