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.
Writes an implementation plan with small steps, exact files to touch, and verification commands. Use before making non-trivial changes.Key capabilities
- →Structure complex changes into small steps
- →Define exact file modifications
- →Specify verification commands
- →Identify risk controls
- →Create rollback procedures
How it works
It breaks down complex software changes into 2-10 minute tasks, each requiring explicit verification, risk assessment, and a rollback plan.
Inputs & outputs
When to use superpowers-plan
- →Planning a multi-file refactoring project
- →Defining migration steps for auth systems
- →Creating a safe deployment rollback plan
About this skill
Planning Skill
When to use this skill
- any multi-file change
- any change that impacts behavior, data, auth, billing, or production workflows
- any debugging that needs systematic isolation
Planning rules
- Steps should be small (2–10 minutes each).
- Every step must include verification.
- Prefer incremental deliverables (avoid “big bang” edits).
- Identify rollback and risk controls early.
Plan format (use this exact structure)
Goal
Assumptions
Plan
- Step name
- Files:
path/to/file.ext,... - Change: (1–2 bullets)
- Verify: (exact commands or checks)
- Files:
- ...
Risks & mitigations
Rollback plan
When not to use it
- →Trivial, single-line code changes
- →Exploratory tasks without defined goals
Prerequisites
Limitations
- →Requires upfront planning time
- →Steps must be kept small to be effective
How it compares
It mandates a structured, verifiable plan with rollback controls for every non-trivial change, preventing 'big bang' deployment risks.
